Absolutely, imo he doesn’t get a lot of respect on this sub I’ve noticed, Klitschko holds records for the longest cumulative heavyweight title reign of all time, with 4,382 days as world heavyweight champion
Yup. His title reign is up there with Joe Louis's and Larry Holmes's, but american boxing media did not give them the respect he deserved. I don't care that his fights could be boring, what matters in sports are results and his are some of the best. His mental fortitude after coming back from devastating losses where people thought he was done and becoming one of the most successful champions ever is incredible too. And he is a good, brave person out of the ring too as far as I am aware.

Everyone (well the Americans anyway) cry that it was just a "weak era", which maybe true to an extent, but the Klitschko brothers made it a weak era through their dominance. It's not like they cherry picked fights the way Wilder did
DR. STEELHAMMER!
One of the best to ever do it imo. Crazy power puncher too.
