    Anybody that picks Tyson is a clown, that is all.

    Wlad destroyed Haye. :patsch Most who can score a fight had Wlad winning every round, Haye was shut out. How you can equate that to "barely scrapping past Haye" is beyond me and every other actual boxing fan.

    Lewis
     
  7. Holmes fought in a weaker era than Evander. Holyfield is the man and always will be. Lennox was good especially when fighting an old Tyson or some big Russian that no one ever heard of with 67 letters in his name.

    The fact you call Lewis by his first name means that there is a respect there that your trying to hide. No.

    Wlad did not destroy Haye. He done what he normally does and won a decision decisively.
    What bothers me though is that Haye barely touched him yet Wlad's face was still all scuzzied up.

    Anyway Wlad rightly belongs outside the group of Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield and Lewis. These four shoulda been the poll options.

    Tyson and Holyfield's all time record simply isn't much better than the Klitschko's if at all to make that kind of statement, especially Tyson.

    But it's not just about they records, it's about the fighters themselves.
    Strengths, weaknesses, mentality etc.

    Well then you're adding to the Klitschko then their total dominance for the best part of a decade while hardly losing a round. Like I say, your original statement doesn't belong in reality.

    What you meant to say is that 'because i don't include Klitschko in that foursome then it isn't realistic to you'. :cool:

    No, not at all. You just fit into one of the two camps which are a cancer on this forum, insane nut hugger or extremist hater, thus you completely refuse to live in reality and wont bend your mind to logistics.
