There are often mixed views on the Klitschkos all-time status. Some believe they could one day be considered ATG fighters while others believe they are average boxers in a devision devoid of A Class or even B Class fighters.
As each era in boxing passes there are peaks and troughs in the level of competition - highs and lows - so the champions of each era are often viewed through the lens of the "quality of opposition", and their opposition is directly compared and contrasted against the opposition of champions from other eras.
Through this analysis, there are champions from one era who couldn't be considered to be in the same league as the champion(s) of another era.
So where do you place the Klitschkos - are they among the "worst" champions of all time, among the best champions or somewhere in between?
