When it's all said & done its going to be hard to deny them their place. (Face it, The Klits have a lot of records & will continue to smash them) ^Comp is nowhere near the Klits.
He edges top 10 ... he could be considered top5 if he beats his brother, there is no one else out there who could increase significantly his ATG stock probably if he keep winning until his 40 (around next 10-12 fights) he may easily enter top 5 on longevity alone
I'd have Wlad probably at 13 if I sat down and made a list. He'll crack the top 10 soon enough. Nothing wrong with that.
Wlad might actually be Top 10. Measures up really well head-to-head. Incredible ability. DOMINATING his era. Unfortunately his era is dog****.
Ron STANDER and BONEVENA came pretty close to mauling him :yep And PETER is much better then them :hi:
Weakerr then 1900 tp 1910 ? 10 to 20 ? 20 to 30 ? ect ect . Before tacking out your ass learn something about the topic . VLAD is a head to head nightmare for any past champ . He also has the most domiating title stint ever . Thats because he is so good . nothing to do with it being a bad era . Its painful to read the stupidity here .atsch:yep
Every long-standing heavyweight champ has the same issue- Louis and Holmes definitely heard this criticism at the time. Strangely enough, a loss here or there in the reign, Ali-style, actually helps the era look stronger than when a champ rules it with an iron fist.
atsch Actually there are alot more fanatics associated with spewing the status quo dispite anything to back it up . His case is in fact better then just about anyone except LL . FORMEN did what ? FRAZIER ? DEMSEY ? LISTON ? ALI was a great personality but its he who has the true fanatics associated with him . wow
Brutal losses to Sanders, Purrity & Brewster Never re-matched Sanders. Re-matched Brewster a total 3 Years later when he was shot. Weak era Top 5 Opponents: none are ATG's. Ducked Holyfield & Lewis in the late nineties & early 00's. Klitschko-Ibragimov was the worse Heavyweight title fight ever. Had people booing by the second round at Madison Square Garden the 'Mecca' of Boxing. Has the worse 'fans' that cannot take criticism Top 11-15 Spot
I have to agree with you. If he takes out the ones coming up and hangs on to the belts for a few years he may make 5.
He ain't got the comp to get ranked that high. He'll get a good place in history based on longevity and dominance. But the guys he's beaten, tho no fault of his own, just won't impress historians too much.
