Wladimir is the best HW out there today. And as for who he's beaten, he's fighting the competition thats available to him.

Both brothers would'nt be **** in any other era but ****in
giant jounreyman and most wins are down to the fact there like

No one is calling the Klitschkos great? I could dig up numerous threads where posters on this very board have alleged this very thing

I never said they weren't tough. So you are yourself arguing with ghosts on that point. I said they were overrated. If you believe Vitali will beat Peter I will wager you on that one, no problem. Peter will decimate him.

Peters power is not very overrated at all. He's actually the only man ever to genuinely hurt James Toney. I know Reggie dropped JT but that was a flash kd, James was never bothered in that fight, similarly the Roy kd was influenced by Toney being offbalance, and when he arose he was more embarassed than hurt; never staggered subsequently. Peter had Toney on rubber legs, and rocked him numerous times in their second fight; he had him hurt in the first too at one point I believe. Peter, at his worst, already sent Wlad to the canvas a couple of times; that was when he was simply a puncher with no stamina. He has shown recently improved skill; better handspeed, better at cutting off the ring, and a great workrate (pounding out the Toney rematch with high output for all 12). If Wlad fights Sam again he's in bad trouble

There are a few people who argue that the Klitschkos are great, why start the thread and write a whole page essay about it?
If Peter's power is so great and Wlad's chin is so bad, how come Peter wasn't able to knock him out then?
If Vitali makes it to the ring with Peter, I'll bet you any amount of points you will have at that point.
