    Klitschko should be rated higher than all three of them. So that's why I think he's a clear top 10 ATG.
    he's a top 10 heavy but shouldn't be rated over fraizer. fraizer was also a gold medalist without the head gear when olympic boxing was nothing more then pro style high quantity fights. wins over Jerry Quarry, Oscar Bonavena, Jimmy Ellis, & A undefeated ali. fraizers resume is being underrated.

        Dont get me wrong as I dont think that they should have but it's debateable as to whether his reign would have been as long if Vitali was not his brother and they were free to fight

          as ''FIGHT'' fans', we have to ignore they existed at the same time.

          too many if's to even consider.

            Unquestionably. Legitimately dominated his division and fought virtually relevant heavyweight of his era. The heavyweight division is not strong enough historically to ignore his stats and keep him out of the top ten.

              Ring Magazine has the Klitschko brothers ranked in the Top 15 to Top 20


              No, Klitschko is not a Top 10 Heavyweight of All Time

                Means nothing.

                Ring magazine has little credibility nowadays.

                  They've never rated the Klitschko's in the top 10, not only Ring Magazine..........

                  But Sports Illustrated and a host of other media and boxing media do not rate either of the Klitschko's in the Top 10.

                  I implore you guys to search online or Google Top 10 Heavyweights of All Time and you'll see that neither Klitschko is in the majority of the top 10 lists of all the media and boxing media members.

                  Most of the lists I've seen is similar to my list with maybe a few names being different here and there. But the glaring absence are the Klitschko's.

                  Too many greats and past greats for the Klitschko's to be in the Top 10.

                  Top 15, Top 20 yes, but not Top 10.

                    most sites/lists have rocky and tyson in their top 10

                    go figure
