    I don't have a problem with Vitali being that high but Wlad is no where near a top 10 all time great. His chin is way to weak and most below him on your list would ko wlad in one round. Your a sick Wlad nuthugger

    It matters a great deal to me who I like more.
    Do we have a reading comprehension problem here? Do I really need to go there?

    You're annoying and you were banned for being a racist. Vitali never beat anyone good,Vitali lost his biggest fights and he isn't in top 25.

    He fought 5 guys who were ranked top 5 in the weight class in his career - Lewis (loss), Byrd (loss), Sanders, Adamek and Kirk Johnson. Sanders was only top 5 because of his flukey win over Wlad. He fought a number of other fringe top 10 guys like Gomez, Peter, Johnson, Arreola and Solis. He didn't face a lot of other top guys. Some is because they avoided him (Povetkin, Valuev) or his brother dispatched of them first (Haye, Ibragimov, Chagaev, Chambers, etc.) or they ended up in prison (Ibeabuchi, Akinwande) and it would take a fool to argue that the second best fighter during most of his era wasnt Wlad, who he obviously never faced. He also didn't fight a number of guys who weren't avoiding him, like Ruiz, Toney, Tua, Lyakhovich, Rahman, etc. Lastly, he was protected as hell early in his career when he was with Universum, which has helped him maintain an inflated knockout record. And to top it off, he mostly fought in a weak era. Would he have beaten most of those guys? Probably, but we'll never know, and I can't rank someone highly based on who I think he hypothetically might have beaten.

    I only noticed now that he ranked Butterbean in his all-time top 10.

    If you read Eric Esch + top 10, you would know I wasn't serious.

    By your logic I should call Carl Froch and Oliver McCall legends then?

    Thick as s**t

    Skills pay the bills, Wlad has more skills

    You haven't made a single point that matter as to why you think he's the GOAT (if that's your position). Highest KO% means squat in terms of an ATG ranking.

    no career defining wins, not one win over a great fighter, has not fought his greatest potential rival, regardless of the legitimacy of the excuse he has, so no, not imo by any stretch.

    Your a total nuthugger. Vitali would kill Wlad and you know it.
