Originally posted by Marchegiano View PostI'd challenge that. Wlad's claim to fame and what supports his greatness is a ****ing annecdote. Krusher may not have much time under his belt on top, but, he whooped B-Hop and Wlad whooped no one....Even Alien version of Hopkins dwarfs Wlad's entire resume.
Throw in the losses and wtf did Wlad do that compares to Sergey?
Sergey has surprise losses, Wlad has more though.
Sergey has a few names, Wlad has none.
I'm quite sure if Kovalev had nothing but fat, slow, undertrained, and over the hill fighters who were never even champions to beat up he too would have been on top for a decade.
Wlad has no Ward analog, period. Didn't lose to one like Ward, didn't beat one like Ward, never faced a great fighter in his career. Krusher put that work on Ward proper.
I like Chris Byrd...the rest of Wlad's career can eat a ****. Hopkins is a higher name. A better MW champ than Byrd was a HW champ.
I wrote this hard like I believe it, but, really, my point was to say it's debatable. I am kinda undecided on that one actually, I just shared some of Krusher's side of the debate I've going on internally.
he was a massive favourite and dropped him in the first round.
wtf is this. Calzaghe doesn't get any credit for beating him when he was the champ.
Kovalev supposedly outranks Klitschko for beating him 10 years later.
hilarious

Also Klitschko was way past his prime when Fury beat him. But you can keep pretending that he wasn't. Froch and Kessler were in their primes so hell yes those are better wins.Originally posted by joseph5620 View PostSo you think Fury beat a prime Klitschko? You're right. Nothing else to discuss further.
Originally posted by joseph5620 View PostI believe Wladimir wins much easier than many people expect. The difference in class between these two is significant. I see a one sided fight.Originally posted by joseph5620 View PostI'm looking foward to this but I think Klitschko stops Fury. I can't see Fury surviving the powerLast edited by LacedUp; 03-26-2020, 01:16 AM.

Here's the thing bubba, Hopkins has a resume, he lost to Kovalev, giving Kovalev a resume. Sure, I agree it's weak given Hopkins being past it, but, the point is Wlad's is weaker.
If you take issue with that I think bare minimal you have to in some manner elevate someone on Wlad's record above the ancient version of Hopkins to have an argument, which you didn't....leaving me to carry this piss poor conversation on my own.
Krusher was favored? Ya don't ****in say? Who was it that Wlad beat despite not being favored to win ya dumb prick?
The ****'s Joe got to do with anything? Joe Calzaghe is light years beyond Wladimir Klitschko ffs. Yeah, he too has a better resume than Wlad, a much better resume.
Past it Chris Byrd is not a better win than past it Hopkins. Chris Byrd, loved the guy, wasn't a great HW champion and he was old as ****. Anyone else you want to rattle off as a "good" win you're just ****ing lying to yourself. Haye, Povetkin, Chaegev, Peter? **** show. Hopkins was a great MW champion at one point in his career. Wlad never beat a great champion of any kind, not a great champion before they became the great champ like Mayweather did Canelo, not a great champion who was far past their glory days like Krusher did Alien, no great champions on Wlad's resume period. He didn't even lose to great champions.

Idiocy of the highest level.
