Wlad now holds HW record for longest reign without being knocked down

[ZroC]

Not sure if they've made it official but this is what's going around forums now. I honestly can't think of anyone who might match it IMO.

Also, Wlad will soon overtake Larry Holmes as the second longest reigning champion behind only Joe Louis.

In an uncompetitive era.

about 70% of HW history could be called uncompetitive.

Don't make me pull Tony Galento on you. I mean it!

You know what forget it, have some Tony Galento! No.1 contender during the reign of both Joe Louis and Max Baer.

This man knocked down Joe Louis!
from boxrec: Louis was staggered in round one and Galento was dropped in the second round. Louis was knocked down in third round.

Impressive regardless of what you think of the era. The guys nowadays are a lot bigger, faster and stronger than before.

wow...vulnerable, arlovski's esque jaw Wlad really broke the record?

Well...a true champion gets up from being KTFO. I still remember the shock I experienced after Corrie Sanders (RIP) pullled off that upset KO, and Sam peter knocking him down several times.

Hey man 2 ton tony is a badass.

People that hate the klitschkos seem bound and determined to brainwash themselves into thinking they aren't awesome.

Nobody hates the Klits...they're class acts and seem to be very good people. But their fights are about as unpredictable as an SOS signal. ..the 1,1,1,2,1,1,1,2,1,1,1 crush the tomato can, and then repeat formula is getting boring.

Not ending Valuev's reign, not pulling the trigger against a less then capable Haye..it's just not a breath taking reign by any means.

Let's just hope they go through fury, price, povetkin...and maybe big K can take on Haye, who acutally has a shot against him unlike Charr and Wach
