    Sam Peter was a better fighter than Miranda ever was..
    Rahman is far from one Wlad's best wins..

    Bute's best wins are:
    Andrade
    Johnson
    Miranda
    Magee
    Berrio

    Wladimir's are:
    Peter
    Byrd
    Chagaev
    Ibragimov
    Haye

    The lists aren't comparable imo..
    Wladimir has better top wins and much better depth
     
  2. Also the guys brute fought were the same size as him not half a foot and 30lbs smaller

    Not sure how to compare a former IBF super middleweight champ to the current reigning WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko

    wlad has been at the top of the division for years, while bute never even made it to the top spot so really there is no comparison. also they have no similarities as fighters

    Yeah, sure.. That shouldn't be held against a fighter, they have been given their neutral frame and build.. The only thing you can do is to use it as good as you can... Lennox Lewis, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman etc. Also had seize advantages over many of their opponents.

    You think an old heavy Hasim Rahman was one of Wlads best wins????

    Hes had a dozen better wins than that fight!

    Bute is better. Bute was exposed once by a great fighter who is probably a future HOF-er.

    Voidimir was destroyed 3 times by bums. Sanders was the best of the bums to destroy Void but he was not in any way a world level fighter. He only had 2 other big fights his entire career and he was KO'd in both. ****ing Voidimir up was literally his only achievement.

    stupid thread, Wlad is ATG and undisputed heavyweight champion of the world who has a chance to beat Joe Luis' record for title defenses and Bute never became the champ. You might as well compare Wlad to Grant or Guinn.

    Had the comparison been that they both looked incredibly good against agreeably poor opposition then you would have a point.

    However Wladimir fighting cans isn't exactly by choice.

    Still, I think it provides a decent enough example that you should factor in a fighters opposition when trying to evaluate them.

    ! Wlad and his brother has dominated his division and probably would've done it against fighters from any HW era ! :yep

    Or , we can see in the rematch with Froch if he's like Wlad !
