    Planet Hater? Sounds like something from a Marvel comics movie, very good.

    I'll even give you that ....if you can tell me how many HW champions who got wiped out and ran in fear from 37/38+ year old retiree neverman, live on your "Planet Hater".

    When you've given me a population figure just above zero, I'll return the kindess by renaming your planet after the boxer(s) you name. Might begin with a K, yah.

    cheers.

    You can't dispute my very valid points so you ask a stupid question rooted in your personal opinion. I'll answer just because you don't think I can but first lets make it more factual:

    I don't believe Wlad ran in fear of Sanders, that is your opinion. Nor was Sanders a 38+ retiree, neverman. Wlad was a WBO belt holder, Lewis was recognized as the HW Champion at this time. Sanders was 37 years old and unranked at HW.

    So I'll rephrase it as when has a future HW Champion lost by knockout to a 37 year old who was never ranked at HW.

    Jersey Joe Walcott was knocked out by Tiger Jack Fox in 1937.

    Tiger Jack Fox DOB is unknown, some place it at 1900, which would make him 37 at the time of the fight.

    Every all time great HW Champion has had their own unique path to greatness.

    Some blitzed through the competition like Tyson or Marciano in a short amount of time.

    Some suffered the odd set back like Louis or Lewis.

    Some struggled for many years like Wlad or Walcott.

    What's important is that they got there and how they fought while on top. Any way you cut it, Wlad is top 10 material and will be recognized as such. Many in the more sensible Classic forum on these boards already do.

    Lol.

    Someone as limited as Sam fvcking Peter was able to put Wlad down on the canvas THREE times. Sam Peter wouldn't know a straight punch even if it jumped up and bit him in the ass. A sharp shooter like Holmes would tee off on Wlad.

    Get the fvck out of here. Revisionists history at its FINEST.

    Holmes came up in the golden age of HW boxing while Wlad came up in the shittiest era of HW's EVER - and still managed to get KO'ed THREE times despite fighting in such a WEAK era.

    Washed up Shavers?

    LOL..

    The "washed up" Shavers from the second fight would mop the floor with Klitschko...

    LOL...

    Holmes was an OLD MAN by the time of the Spinks fight. More importantly, Spinks' boxing skill is on a completely different level than Wlad could ever hope to achieve. Spinks is in a higher class...

    You Klittards need to STOP smoking the Crack. Baby Klit got absolutely DEMOLISHED by Sanders and Brewster while in the middle of his PRIME. Holmes would beat the brakes off of Wlad.

    Stop smoking the crack, Klittard...
