Tony Thompson "Wladimir Klitschko is an all-time great"

[A-Wolf]

No. He isn't.

To be an ATG you need challenges, you need qualified opposition. Unfortunately/Fortunately for Wladimir that hasn't been the case.

[yoz]

Wladimir is indeed.

Kind words from Tony.

Makes perfect sense to me...............lets see he's been knocked out by Wlad about 14 times right? hahahaha!!!!! Tonys defeated how many all time greats? NONE!!! He's lost to how many? One??? So he's the perfect person to detail greatness!!!! If he defeats his next opponent does Wlad get a challenge from him for number 15???? Promotion is now known as Brown Nosing!! Ray.

Why are you so upset? Calm down old man, it's not that serious. TT is telling the truth, deal with it

[wazaa.]

Duh. Grass is green.

Now Vitali, that's the real question. IMO, Vitali isn't.

That really depends on what your definition of an all time great is. Is he to me? Besides David Haye and Eddie Chambers (really depending on how you view those guys as well) I can't say he's had that big of a challenge, but the division itself is rather weak so it's not completely his fault. Not sure what i'd say to him being an ATG.

Funny how some posters say Thompson is full of **** about what he said about wlad.

some Posters here act as if they know more and better than an actual ranked HW who has fought wlad twice.....

how many boxing matches have you guys had? How many champions have you guys been in the ring with?

again, who would know more, a pro fighters who fought wlad twice for the titles, or a keyboard warrior?

[bravestone]

Who said he isn't? He's definitely an ATG

[thuggery]

Wladimir is most definitely an ATG. One of the most accomplished heavies ever.

no its the opposite -most people actually know more than an uneducated guy who had to turn to boxing to make a living. SO laugh at yourself.

Thompson might not have been bad in the ring when he was prime (as opposed when he Klit cherrypicked him as an oldie) , but that don't mean he has the acumen or judgement to make statements outside it.

A discerning, reading pundit usually is better placed to make a judgement on fighters accomplishments than a boxer or worse still, a massively biased Klittard-like fan of which you are a prime example.
