    Can you be an all-time great if your best win is over an old and overweight Corrie Sanders?

    They're both alltime greats for having so many championship fights.

    I think they are, I mean if you dominate a division for a decade how can you not be? I really do think both Klits give any all time HW a hell of a fight and win a fair share of them too.

    This is the way to begin a completely unbiased poll.

    Are you trying to insinuate that people start threads with an agenda?

    Wlad yes, Vitaly isn't because is resume is far too thin even though he's arguably the better fighter of the two

    This. At some point you just have to accept it that being the best of the division for seven years, never being close of losing, is pretty impressive, no matter how weak you think the division is

    Personally I think they both are, but I expect most will say no because of the obvious factor which is completely beyond their control.

    how can they be all time greats when they haven't ever fought each other? :scratcher:

    imagine any other fighter ducking the best guy in their division for 10 fucking years...would he be "dominating his division"? :atu:

    Neither Klit is the best in the division though, each basically only rule one half of a shitty division. It may not be their fault but it has to count against them no matter what ( though the ''my brother already beat you I don't have to fight you'' mentality is their fault and makes them literally scrap the bottom of the barrel to find a contender neither as fought instead of fighting more legit guy's their bro beat ).

    Plus, they didn't fought 3 of the top 5 contenders of their era when they were revelant ( Valuev, Ruiz and Rahman ) most of time, because of their own damn fault

    I'm surprised at some of these responses.

    Of course they are, both of them, even if they're lower echelon ATG's.

    They are the 2 most dominant heavies of the recent era, shit division or not, in time what will be remembered more is they dominated the division for years :dunno:

    I'm not even a fan of either, and of course I love to rag on wald pussy, but choof's de choof.

    Depends what 'all time great' means, i guess. But to me anybody who dominates a division, however weak, for a full decade definitely qualifies.

    If they were struggling every other fight and just scraping through against these bums I could understand, but they're winning easily like they're supposed to.

    I say "no"

    if you look at how Byrd made vitali cry like a bitch hurting his shoulder.. Sanders and Brewster knocked Wlad out like a drunk german hooker

    they both are like big sexual german robots

    Even if one of them is a massive pussy and needs big bigger, tougher brother (the one with a paper thin resume) to take care of fat South African fighters for him?

    Absolutely...

    Say What U Will about this Particular Era, Wlad's Chin or Whatever; The Klitschko's are/were THE Dominant Heavyweights of their Era, which is an AUTOMATIC Qualification for "All Time Great" Status...
