Is Wladimir Klitschko a top 5 all-time great?

[A.K]

Yes I could sit here and name 30 guys starting from back over a century ago who would kill him but if anyone really believes this chump who got ko'd by Brewster and a pre historic Corey Saunders is a atg kys. Emmanuel helped him adjust by being a b itch and fury exposed it, he has no ****in heart he ain't even top 40 **** his 10 year reign who did he beat during that time???

[Mitchell Kane]

Wlad isn't in the top 5 or the top 10.

[jas]

Not top 10

[kiDynamite92]

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Jack Johnson
4. George Foreman
5. Sonny Liston
6. Larry Holmes
7. Joe Frazier
8. Mike Tyson
9. Evander Holyfield
10. Lennox Lewis


He's not even close.

[Simurgh]

definitely top 10. fury lost hurt his chances to be in top 5, but if he beats joshua and wilder he would be close imo.

Based on Accomplishments I have Wladimir Klitschko at number five.

[Willy Wanker]

You can argue Wlad is a top 10 HW, but top 5 is too high for him.

I think he's definitely in the top 15 easily.

Bit racist there AND quite wrong - no way Ali should be No 1.

What's your list and who should be #1?

how in the hell was wlad greater then holmes when holmes has wins over guys like A PRIME undefeated mercer (mind you larry was dirt old in that fight schooling mercer) wins over shavers, norton, prime Berbick, undefeated Cooney. Tim Witherspoon (tim was a couple notches better then guys like haye) you're talking title defense's but larry was undefeated for 50 fights against much greater competition then wlad before being robbed by spinks. (larry stopped fighting for years once they took those fights away from him) he would have had more title defenses if not for that cheap spinks fight. 17 title defense (19 if u count the spinks robberies) & theres no way u can rate wlad greater then larry. wlad, a guy that was knocked clean out multiple times in his prime & only avenged one of those losses (against a faded brewster) is greater then larry holmes who's done it all?


joke. & no real boxing historian would even take it seriously.

What about Wlad's schooling and KO of the more experienced Pulev, pretty old too?
