Peter Jackson


Harry Willis


Max Baer


Max Schmeling


Is he?

[Jim Jeffries]

Can we hold off discussion of Wlad until he's retired? Seeing as how this is the history section and all.

[tyger]

Close to but no.

No those fighters never had stamina issues like Wlad does and they was all technically sound boxers who i would favour to beat Wlad or his brother

there's barely any footage available on them, other than written accounts, and a couple of black and white clips, but yet you're confident in your answer that all of them would beat the Klit brothers lol. i always felt sorry for poor sobs like Wlad Owns who runs his own cheerleading squad on his spare time, but reading biased posts like these, makes rethink everything just one tiny bit.

seeing how Klitschkos are still active it wouldnt be fair to make the grade, but the way it looks for them now id say it's not criminal to say yes they are.

in a fight id favor the Klit brothers over all those guys, people here who are saying those guys would beat the brothers need to wake up. i know fighters of yesteryear are great and need to be respected and all, but these head to head match ups are getting sickeningly redicilous.

though after hearing how the likes of rocky marciano would maul over them in the openning seconds of the first round, nothing ever surprises me anymore.

you are entitled to your opinion, yet you dont provide any analysis or theory of how you come to the conclusion that the Klitschko brothers beat great fighters from other era`s, you obviously find my above comment that i feel they would win as they dont have `Stamina` issues very funny while i find your comments also funny and bazzar...

Peter Jackson - was described by Nat Flietcher as one of the greatest fighters who ever lived... My Grandfather seen Jackson fight at Grasmere in 1889 and right up to his death in the early 1960s claimed he was the best he ever set eyes on which included seeing Dempsey, Johnson, Marciano & Louis.

Max Bear - 6ft 3in and incredible physical specimen who knocked out Primo Carnera who i feel was good enough to beat both Klitscho brothers so i see no reason why Baer would not beat both.

Harry Wills - rated by many as an ATG

Max Schmeling - good enough to beat Joe Louis

Is he?

No. But he is better than Owen Beck, Duane Bobick, Bruce Seldon, Joe Hipp, Oliver McCall, Ron Stander and Gerry Cooney.

[GoogleMe]

You guys has got to be kidding me? He's way better then those guys resume wise. How can anyone rate Larry Holmes as a top 10 atg heaveyweight? His division were very weak, I seriously think that it were weaker than the one Wladimir klitschko fought in.

[SNVDoublePunch!]

I still find Wlad difficult to rate. Very difficult.

[StarshipTrooper]

His division were very weak, I seriously think that it were weaker than the one Wladimir klitschko fought in.

Then you aren't thinking seriously. There's never been a weaker Heavyweight division than the current one.
