    Which facts do you need?

    KO ratio, number of undefeated opponents beaten, championship fights won in the row, time to won the first championship? Are these figures of merit?

      Of course, depending on who the opponents were. Unless you'd like a trophy in the Hall of Fame for the fighter with the greatest KO% of tomato cans.

        I gotta see a list because after the top ten it gets harder for me to rank. But I think Vitali can fit in.

          How to you define 'tomato cans'? Just for reminder. This is who Larry Holmes (one of the greatest) fought in his championship fights.

          David Bey (18-11), Ossie Ocasio (23-13), Mike Weaver (41-18)...

          I can't image what would happen to Vitali or Wladimir if they choose similar opponent.

                  So how do you define 'tomato cans'?

                  As you are against 'imagination' and up to 'facts' we need to find some numerical approach! =)

                  They can't be 'tomato cans' only on the bases Vitali destroyed them

                    I can't think from the top of my head. Show me a list and I'll fit Vitali in somewhere.

                      If your argument for Vitali Klitschko forces you to ask what the definition of a tomato can is then I suggest you let this go.
