    Every great champ fought their share of bums, what would you do if you were Wlad, take the mandatory fight and get a payday or refuse and get stripped of your title? Those guys would do **** all just like all the others, Wlad beat the ever living **** out of Wach and Peter.

    Wlad beat Haye, Povetkin, Thompson, Byrd, Chambers, Chagaev, Brock, Wach and many more. These are all good fighters made to look bad due to the gulf in class.

    Wlad cannot win, he dominates all opposition making them look terrible so people say they are soft opponents. Ali went life and death in nearly all his fights and he is lauded as the greatest - because his opponents gave him a tough fight they must be great opponents. BULL****.

    Your calling posters vlad nuthuggers for simply describing the reality of why and how vlad has stayed champ for as long as he has.

    Sounds like you could be British and a closet Haye nuthugger??

    Is that what is going on with you?

    Haye landed several punches, Lepai throw 10 punches and landed 0. Haye had the best chance to stun Wladimir but he was too scared.

    It's over 10 years now he's DOMINATED. Luck doesn't buy you over 10 years of success, it's called skills and hard work. Sounds like you're just jealous.

    Vlad is the best heavyweight in the world today, by far.................Vlad was never hurt in either fight, those two fights were mismatches.............

    Yep. The stumble was Wlad tripping on Leapai's foot. Leapai throws a punch
    and his right foot gets caught up behind Wlad's left foot. Here's the video, clear
    as day:

    There you go, some are soft, some are not. Same as any era.

    Thompson and Povetkin are hard as nails, many of Wlad's other opponents were far from soft. Pianeta wasn't up to much, and Leapai wasn't exactly an ATG but he was a tough little guy with a big punch who had flattened many big men before. Some are easy mandatories or stay busy fights, also many are not.

    Wlad should never be allowed to fight again. He absorbed brutal punishment from Leapai, I fear he's going to end up like Ali. A couple of lucky combos saved him the fight but at what cost ? He's done now. Leapai ruined him.

    Did Haye even throw 10 punches? :huh

    It was a disgraceful performance on par with his fight with Valuev. He simply was scared to engage in those fights.

    I would pull up punch stats but i hope you are joking. The haye fight sucked but i am sure he doubled leapia's punches landed within 3 rounds

    Haye actually did hurt Wlad with a right cross in the last round. It was a good flush shot and Wlad was briefly stunned and regained his composure quickly, though he certainly felt it.

    I don't think Leapai landed much of anything except a handful of punches to Wlad's gloves.
