The Greatness of Wladimir Klitschko

I always like sticking up for Wlad against illogical criticism but I've arrived too late to this thread. Can't be bothered to read up on a 100 pages.
And I see VG_Addict also seems to be pretty active in this thread. Keep in mind that this is a self-confessed 5'3 manlet who's got some kind of a mental problem, creating the same thread topics in the Lounge over and over again (though he seems to have disappeared from the Lounge. Somebody must have put him on the meds).

He has been talking utter ****e on this thread throughout, I'm guessing he follows the usual trend on the lounge threads.

Originally posted by Weltz View PostWladimir Klitschko transformed heavyweight boxing. His performance against Leapai last night cemented this. His jab, footwork, defense and offense were all immaculate and incomparable. No style works against him.
He proved uppercuts, combos, feinting, swarming etc to be near-worthless (in the case of his opponents) and unnecessary (in the case of himself). Thus by his perfect minimalistic-seeming technique he actually shows how bad previous generations of boxers were who could win with such techniques like feinting and combos.
Wladimir is the blueprint for what strategies work (in his case) and don't work (in his opponents' case). Wladimir Klitschko is the measuring stick for champions of the past and future.

Imagine if this had happened,
Ali loses to Frazier (as he did in their first fight) but would never rematch Frazier.
Ali loses to Ken Norton (as he did in their first fight) but would never rematch Norton.
Ali loses to Leon Spinks (as he did in their first fight) but would never rematch Spinks.
Ali wins against Sonny Liston but then loses in the rematch instead of winning by a ridiculous gift stoppage.
Ali wins against Foreman, gives Foreman a rematch and (very likely) loses the rematch
Foreman annihilates Ken Norton and Joe Frazier (as he indeed did, KO2 and KO2)
Leon Spinks ends his career with a bummy record of 26-16 (= Spinks' record without the Ali rematch)
Now where does this leave the credibility of the greatest of all time? He beat just tomato cans, even by todays standards. Without the rematches, Ali would of all been a tomato can himself. If Wlad and Vitali would have contractual been allowed to avenge their losses, nobody would be talking about the Klitschkos as sub par in any way.
