Does anybody think Klitscho is a legitimate Heavyweight champion?

Question

I saw the fight this weekend and am still not impressed with this guy or his brother either. All these Russian guys stink.

Ali in his day would've mopped the floor with all of 'em in the same night.

Answer 1

I agree with you about Ali beating them but Klitscho is a pretty good fighter...not the best ever..but at this time in boxing who's gonna beat him...

Answer 2

I agree that Ali would likely beat all of the current champions in the division. Since we are in a new era of the division, I have to say that Klitschko is the legitimate champion for the moment and has been long before his fight with Ibragimov. If he is not the legitimate champ, then tell me who is the one in the division, right now.

Answer 3

why not he's been beating every contenter

Answer 4

Klitscho is a legitimate heavyweight champion he didnt cheat his way to the title he won it fair and square in the ring. I agree that i dont think he will go down as an all time great, and hes not the most exciting fighter to watch either. But he is effective in what he does and for the moment i cant see anyone beating him.

Answer 5

He probably is, but you have to regonize that this is probably the weakest heavyweight division of all time. It sucks bad!!!

Answer 6

That fight sucked ***.  All Klitschko did was swat the other guy's jabs down and then throw a couple jabs of his own.  With the size difference, he should have pummeled him, but there very few good combos or flurries.    Well, at least it was free.

Boxing is in big trouble and just reeks of illegitimacy now.   The only thing that could save the heavyweight division is if the Klitschkos fought each other and eventually unify the title, but they say that'll never happen.

Answer 7

klitschko had one boring fight and everyone jumps on him, ali had so many boring fights i cant even watch them. klitschkos last 3 fights before sultan were knockouts and klitschko has the highest knock out percentage of any heavyweight 50 wins 44 knockouts. whos going to get mad?
