It's a daily argument on here, but does anyone have any examples of Vitali or Wlad talking about where they think they stand? They were very open about their desire to dominate this era and hold all the belts, but do they ever make comparisons with the greats?

Do the Klitschkos care where they rank all-time?

Career, resume, era, skills, they are probably 16-17 to me. It's not their fault they fought in an era where HW's were crap.
Had they fought in the era's with Liston, Patterson, Ali, Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Lyle, Shavers, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis, Moorer....they would not have dominated they way they have since Lennox retired.
People need to remember that an absolute prime Vitali, seen as the better of the Klitschko's, fought a way past prime 37 year old Lennox, and was only beating him 4 rounds to 2 when it was stopped, or it was tied, depending on who you talk to.

I think the brothers care about their all time ranking. The real down side for both is that there's not a Hwt opponent out there right now that the brothers could advance their all time status by beating. However a loss by either brother right now would devastate their all time ranking.

right above david haye which is nowhere near top 10 atg
and its not their fault either...if any of their opponents would actually have the hunger to win rather than being hungry for hamburgers they wouldve been ranked much higher
both klitschko's are a little past their primes yet they keep dominating younger fighters
