Wladimir Klitschko has now gone from underrated to overrated. Same as many athletes.

[Tha_Greatest]

Top5 ATG HW, all I'll say.

easily can be argued as #1 aswell, just the matter of opinion, my opinion is hes the best heavyweight ever based on things others have never accomplished before him and hes headed to 40 and hasnt lost for 10 years, lol, thats my opinion, lol, others might see somebody as the best ever but wlad should be at least be in a top 5 guarantee in the heavyweight all time

Lennox Lewis was pasted by Oliver McCall in extremely similar fashion as Wladimir was against Sanders.

Lack of focus was the underlying cause for both losses, they didn't view their opponents as any serious threat whatsoever.

Wladimir was focussed on Lennox, Lennox was focussed on Bowe. McCall and Sanders were meant to be minor stepping stones.

Of course there was no head slam excuse for LEnnox, he just got starched. There was no bravely getting up multiple times for LEnnox as with Wladimir, he was immediately waved off. McCall was a good boxer but he was not a partiecularly dangerous 6'4" puncher like Sanders with lightning fast hands, an awkward Southpaw style and high aggressiveness in the early rounds.

I like Wlad as a champion. I have criticized the heavyweights he fights though. The division is a bit thin I guess.

Pacquiao went from young to old, so Did Kobe and Iverson. Pacquiao is being ****ted on now because he lost it, he's piling up a resume of cans, and the only way he'll fight any competitive fighter like Cotto II or Canelo is if they go down below 150, which defeats the purpose of one of the advantages they have. He won't fight D. Garcia, Khan, Maidana, Broner, or Matthysse because his promoter doesn't work with their adviser. His career is basically done but people still rate him highly for what he is doing even now, as seen on the P4P lists and top 10 lists.

I predict Wladimir will beat Larry Holmes' record (20 defenses) but will lose to one of the young guys, failing to beat Joe Louis' record.

i went to the same conclusion in what you said about floyd, for a moment there i thought you were talking about floyd till i realised your favorite fighter and allegiance goes to the mayweather mafia, lol, thats biased, i am no floyd fan or pac fan, i dont respect floyd for the reasons you said, floyd practices what you said the most, lol, to floyd(your boy) health comes first, his words of course lil homie, lol

Klitschko is the current Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, lineal, WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring world champion (see List of heavyweight boxing champions.) Klitschko is the longest reigning IBF, WBA, WBO & IBO heavyweight champion in history with the most title defenses for the IBF, WBO & IBO titles. Overall, he is the second longest reigning Heavyweight Champion of all time with the second most successful career grand total title defenses with 22 (including his "super" title recognition). On 13 October 2013, Boxrec rated Klitschko as the number two pound-for-pound fighter in the world. On 15 December 2014, he reached a career peak of number two on the pound-for-pound list of The Ring. Klitschko is second on the all-time list for most heavyweight title fights with 26, behind only Joe Louis with 27. He is the younger brother of former WBC, WBO & Ring magazine heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.

Since 2005 Wladimir Klitschko has been the dominant force in the heavyweight division, defeating a majority of the top heavyweights in the rankings. When Klitschko won the IBF title against Chris Byrd there were four separate Heavyweight Champions. Since then, he has unified the IBF, IBO, WBO & WBA belts and defeated the WBA Champion in recess. Following his win over Ruslan Chagaev, Klitschko was awarded the vacant Ring Magazine Heavyweight title.

Klitschko has held at least a piece of the heavyweight championship since 2006, when he won the IBF title. The most recent bout in which he claimed a piece of the undisputed title was when he won the WBA championship from David Haye in 2011.

He has the best real HW record of all time.

And he is the most dominant champion who ever lived, with such an extensive 66 fight career and counting and in that entire span of his career, barely ever getting hit, completely breaking down and knocking out most of his opponents like never before seen and losing clearly only a handful of rounds of boxing, ever!

For some time now, he can only be described in one way.

Almost invincible.

Wladimir Klitschko certainly isn't invincible, no boxer is.

The problem is, nobody at HW right now is good enough to beat him. Wilder, Fury? Pleaseee, Wlad will brutalize them.

[Elroy1]

I don't really think he is invincible. But I do think he smashes up what would otherwise be extremely good opponents.

He will finish those 2, Wilder and Fury in particular very early with savage KO's. Totally mirk them, because they have no chins, atleast not to contend with that kind of power and precision.

I think he raised the level to such extreme heights now that it is difficult for anybody else to compete properly.

People crap on now about how Pulev was simply too inexperienced, which is true to an extent, but when you consider similarly experienced Ray Mercer how he gave hiding to Lennox Lewis, it puts it in perspective. And Pulev was larger and more skilful with equally good chin as Ray was!

I would not want to be a HW with this guy around.
