The Greatness of Wladimir Klitschko

[Weltschmerz]

Povetkin would be absolutely creamed by Foreman

Povetkin struggled with Huck for crying out loud and got beat up. One Foreman uppercut and Povetkin would be done

Povetkin has a strong chin. He went 12 rounds with Wladimir and survived some good shots. Frazier was a chinny fighter in comparison, floored and hurt by several bums. Povetkin would likely KO frazier.

Go on, make my day. List the ATG bums he beat

He went 12 rounds with Wlad because Wlad fought like a little girl who hadn't seen her parents in years with all the hugs he was giving.

Some American fans tned to underestimate the HW division simply because there haven't been a top American contender for a long long time.

Apart from the Klitschko brothers who are, like it or not, masters of the sport, let's list some contenders of nowaday that would easily be contenders in the 70's-80's :

Povetkin ; Haye ; Jennings ; Tyson Fury ( if he's on his A game, but we still don't reall know who he is) ; Solis ( despite the Thompson loss).

I believe all those guys would have given some problems to the likes of Foreman, Michael Spinks, Holmes ( especially Povetkin), Marciano, Schmelling and Frazier.

But what some guys tend to forget here, is that YOU CANT COMPARE old-school fighters wuth today's fighters when it comes to athleticism, strenght and conditioning.

Foreman was considered as a "big" heavyweight on his own time. Today he wouldn't match up at all with the likes of the Klitschkos, Joshua, Fury or Wilder in terms of physique.

The Klitschko brothers would have been a threat to anybody in boxing history. But above all, they are great athletes, disciplined, hard-working, intelligent and complete professionals. That's what makes them very impressive!

Toney was not robbed against Griffen.... smh
Some people here claiming they know everything lol, just like James Toney competitive fight with Peters he was robbed aswell but as soon as Peters has a competitive fight with Chambers its apparently a schooling?

Watch it, that's racist!

Another gem

[Boxing Goat]

klitschko logic appears! if someone is winning a fight and they get ko'd...well you know the rest

It's not that, the guy acts like Wlad just lost flat out or something. It doesn't negate the win, but it wasn't just a cut and dry win. Much like the other guy on here keeps talking about how Toney lost to Peter in the first fight. There's something to be said for the close first fight even if it was a loss. You bozo's can't have it both ways.

Well they are certainly on par with Povetkin both skillwise and resume wise.

However, I was clearly referring to the bums like leapai, wach, mormeck, pianeta etc. All ranked outside the top 20.

Embarrassing opposition.

If that's who you were talking about, you should have said that.

[Boxing Goat]

You give more gems than anyone else

Only difference is you actually mean whatever crap comes out.

I was ***ing around and everyone that sees that sig will know

Backtracking at it's finest huh
