Boxing is becoming one of the most popular sports in recent times.

7- Wladimir Klitschko (69M-64W-5L)

Enter captio
Dr. Steelhammer

Stance- Orthodox

Style- Out Boxer- A out boxer is known for his/her mobile footwork and strong technique. They tend to maintain a distance from their opponent and hit them with their quick jabs and deadly hooks. Out boxers are not known for their power but they also score big knockouts often.

Gold Medalist of 1996 summer Olympics and known by the ring name Dr. Steel Hammer, Wladimir holds a Ph.D. degree in sports science. Even though his style resembles to an out boxer but still he is known among the hardest hitting heavyweights of all time who won 54 fights by Knockout in his total 64 wins. He ruled over the heavyweight division for over a decade before losing to Tyson Fury in 2015. His clash with Anthony Joshua in April 2017 was his most popular fight. Klitschko's straight right hand and left hook were his most formidable weapons. He was the most powerful out boxer who ever lived.

Wladimir's only problem was his chin. Out of 5 fights which he lost 4 were by Knockouts and that is why he was considered as one having a Glass chin but still he deserves to be in the top 7 because of his great record and his long reign as the heavyweight champion.
