Is Wladimir Klitschko a top 5 ATG heavyweight?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Head to head he might be top 10 ATG because he would destroy a 185 pound joe louis but in terms of legacy he is barely top 10 or not..

1. ALi
2. louis
3. Holmes
4. Lewis
5. holyfield
6. Foreman
7. Frazier
8. Marciano
9. tyson
10. wlad

or something along those lines..... I think he has a better legacy than say liston... Liston is best known for being the guy that dropped the title to Ali, having mob ties, and not so much for his rimg performances..

Lol. Was or was Wlad not the favorite to beat both of them? Yes he was.

Not in the UK...

Show me a betting Company that gave better odds ón a Wlad win than a Haye win.

Everyone had Wlad as the favourite. It just varied how much.

Don't be an idiot.

First, Louis never weighed anywhere near 185 in a title fight.

And you really think a chin cracked by Brewster and Sanders is going to stand up to Joe Louis?

[SBleeder]

Notated how you put it, Willard was a four year reigning undisputed champ and Dempsey beat him in three rounds.

I believe Willard is slightly underrated, but you do know that he only successfully defended the title once in those four years, right?

You really think a chin cracked by Max Schmeling would stand up to Wlad Klitshcko?

Wlad doesn't have the skill to even tough Louis, but if he did tag him, then yes, Louis would stand up to it fine.

Joe louis was small as hell for a heavyweight,,,, he was 185-210 and about 6ft tall. Wlad would beat him,,, Too Big, Too powerful,,,,
Joe louis better p4p but not h2h.... same thing with all the old school guys like demsey, marcaino, etc... they get beat by the superheavy's of the 70's to present like foreman, lewis, holmes. wlad

Wlad would easily crush Frazier, Holmes, Marciano and Louis. You just can't compare them with him in terms of athleticism and Marciano's style fits perfectly to Wlad's style.
