Will Wladimir Klitschko break Joe Louis' records?

[BKM-2010]

Indirectly yes.

It's quite obvious too. I respect Joe's accomplishments (that are going to be overwritten by Wlad's soon) but he was super overrated and either K2 bro makes easy work of him.

Wlad's accomplishments? Like what? Beating a guy who complained about his toe being hurt? Vitali couldn't beat a shell Lennox Lewis let alone someone who held the actual universal title for almost 12 years.

Do you think either Klitschko wouldn't have held the title fighting the same guys that Louis did?

It's going to be tough. I think the longevity record could be easier to come by. Needs 12 IBF defenses to have 26 but most who rate him THE champ start the new lineage at Chagaev. He needs 19 to surpass Louis in that regard. I don't even think that's impossible. If he had a couple 3-fight years, he could close the gap. That said, he's already 37 and has had a LOT of fights. Even if he doesn't lose, will the motivation really be there to go until he is 42/43?

The one record of Louis's I think won't ever be toppled is most heavyweight title defenses in a year. I don't think we'll ever see a Heavy champ fight seven times in a year again, much less eight. Just think if there hadn't been WWII...Louis might have posted 40 defenses. Mind boggling really.

Joe Louis record.

How can he? Louis was undisputed champion with 25 defenses!

Only if he ducks Wilder for his life

[TBear]

Sorry El Angel,

Joe Louis' record is for the undisputed and linear championship, not for some of the split titles. I am not knocking Klitschko's run as titlist, only pointing out the difference.

Only if he ducks Wilder for his life

Are you fucking kidding me, mate? Wilder has fought NOBODY. Yet you're implying Wladimir is ducking him. KILL YOURSELF, ****** ASS!

[Nay_Sayer]

I don't know, but Klitchsko(either one) would have destroyed Joe Louis.

Take away the steroids, hormones and the rest of the PEDS the Klitschkos are on, make it a 15 round fight and we'll see who mops the floor with whom...

He isn't ducking him yet lol. I meant only if he ducks once Wilder earns a shot will he maybe break the record
