    And that's the thing, most people have at least one of them on their top 10 list.

    Klitschko should be rated higher than all three of them. So that's why I think he's a clear top 10 ATG.

      Not a chance for me. He is 11-20 range.

      I don't let the emotion from last night cloud my judgment.

        yeah not top ten ATG.

        A good, but not great fighter. Would have been gatekeeper in pretty much any other era of heavyweights. His bro was better.

          Marciano
          Tyson???

          He is close but it is just an opinion
          No way tyson frazier, or marciano are better than wlad.

            The length of his dominance speaks for itself, hard not to put him there. He also was arguably 1 round away from becoming a 3 time champ yesterday against a young beast.

              Off accomplishments alone he is a top 10 fighter. Larry Holmes fought many dog ****e opponents but that isn't held against him. Also Cooney was powerful but a lumbering oaf. He's probably the best name on Holmes' resume that was in his prime or near it.

                He beat 0 hall of fame fighters

                What are his top 10 wins?

                Frazier beat a prime Ali

                Marciano and Tyson both have Hall of famers on their resumes.

                Klitschko had a long reign but who did he actually defeat?

                  Wladimir had just three good victories: He beat Chris Byrd, who destroyed Evander Holyfield; he beat Hasim Rahman, who KO'd Lennox Lewis; and he beat David Haye, who defeated the tallest world champion in history. And that's it.

                    Really bro, Jack Johnson and Joe Frazier? Wladimir Klitschko is in boxing history books as the second longest reigning champ of nearly 10 years. You could argue him in the top 5, nvm the top 10.
