thank god fury beat klitcko before we'd have to hear about him beating Joe Louis' record. No one even talks about him anymore, strange.

You're thinking of overall championship wins.
Klitschko had 25.
Louis had 27

Ill make a thread for that as well, but itll take longer to make.
This one is just consecutive defenses, which for the most part is also the most won championships in most of the weight classes.

But yes thank god for Fury.
I think we were all happy when he won that fight, even though it was complete ass.

Wlad still holds some records.

Klitschko holds records for the longest cumulative heavyweight title reign of all time, with 4,382 days as world heavyweight champion, and most fighters beaten for the world heavyweight championship, at 23.[d] He also holds records for the most wins and title defences of the unified championship[note 1] in professional boxing history.[33]

And now that its been about 10 years.
I think its its about to be the time where history starts looking back fondly on his career.
Those records are no joke.
The guy was pretty good, even if he wasnt as entertaining.
 
  • Wladimir Klitschko is a former World Heavyweight Champion. He has held the titles of the WBO (twice), IBF, WBA (Super title) and The Ring magazine.
  • Klitschko has defeated 23 opponents for the World Heavyweight Championship, more than any other heavyweight in history.
  • Klitschko has won 25 World Heavyweight Title fights, the second most in heavyweight history.
  • Klitschko holds the longest combined World Heavyweight Championship reign in history. He was the champion for 4 382 days (12 years).
  • Klitschko held the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles longer than any other fighter in history, and he is the second longest-reigning heavyweight champion of all-time. Klitschko's reign of nine years, seven months and seven days is second only to the reign of Joe Louis, who was champion for 11 years, eight months and eight days.
  • Klitschko successfully defended the WBO and IBF heavyweight titles more than any other fighter: he defended the WBO title 19 times (five during his first reign and 14 during his second reign) and the IBF title 18 times. Only Joe Louis (25 defenses) and Larry Holmes (20 defenses) have made more.
  • Klitschko won the vacant Ring magazine heavyweight championship when he defeated Ruslan Chagaev on June 20, 2009.
  • He is the younger brother of former WBO, WBC and Ring magazine heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.
  • After Wladimir's win over David Haye on July 2, 2011, all the major heavyweight belts were simultaneously owned by the Klitschko brothers, making them the first brothers to so.

Yeah they're impressive even though he wasn't beating guys as good as Louis was beating.

Also Brian Mitchell, Artur Grigorian, Eusebio Pedroza.....
We never hear those names here.
How good were those guys?

Eusebio was great, complete fighter only lost because he got old.

I hope not, I was never sold on him. I knew fury wasn't a lot better but I knew he'd end him.

I seen that he beat a very old Ruben Olivares, but a prime Rocky Lockridge, twice.

lots of defenses, mentally and physically very tough, and very versatile, that's what i remember after 40 years, that and he was one of those clutch fighters who could pull a win out on a tough night.

At Kronk Gym Emanuel Steward once told Wlad to his face that Fury would beat him in the future. Had I known this back then I'd have picked Fury to pull it off (as garbage as that encounter was).

I did pick him to win, and I was glad because i knew the klitscko's run would make it seem like they were the ATG's of the division, and many euro fans acted like that at the time and would disparage the other champs because of it. Say silly shit like Shavers wasn't a puncher or Ali was obese, just silly shit, all online of course.

64-5 (53KOs) 25-4 in Championship fights.
That has to warrant a little something.
I dont think hes the greatest ever.
But I think he doesnt get as much respect as he should.

They were boring, that was why the americans never liked them, not JUST because they weren't american, if that was a part of it at all. they were dull, repetitive, unimaginative and because they had no challengers they had the run of the division for ten dull years. I knew Fury would win simply because Klitscko won his fights using his length and pretty much nothing else. Fury would take that away from him and he did.

I picked Fury as well.
But I was going to take Klitschko in the rematch that never happened.

Steward had his detractors here when he was alive, I think it was Seano who called him an "unstable man" but it may have been someone else. But he sure could be brutally honest even when he had a fighter he was responsible for touting. He said in his Lennox or Klitshko years that Ali was the best of all time because of the pace he could set that no other heavyweight could match, he said this sometime around 2005, so, when he either had Lewis or was already working with the K bros. He also got pissed at wladmir telling him, "we dont need another bullshit decision" out of frustration with how little he'd do in a fight. Wladmir was the more successful one wasn't he? I always thought the other brother was a little better for what it's worth.
