    They are bums compared to the heavyweight contenders of the early 90s and 70s.

    You are right about that. Still, Wlad did not have a long term contract with HBO. It was on a case by case basis.

    And still, there were fights HBO did not broadcast. I find that very telling cause we are talking about the undisputed heavyweight champ of the world. :roll:

    Wlad has been on HBO 19 times. Only other fighter that has been on more are Oscar and Mayweather. Do you even have HBO? Or watch Boxing?

    Thats an absolute lie. Pacman has had at least 20 outings on HBO . Roy Jones may have even more.

    Great :good. To me , you are nothing more than another clown here.

    We are talking about the undisputed heavyweight champ, moron.

    - There were fights HBO refused to relevise.

    - HBO does not have long term contract with Wlad. Just broadcast on a case by case basis

    Now that is really an accomplishment for Wlad who has been the undisputed heavyweight champ for 10 years. When you end upon ESPN sometimes ,well that is enough said.

    Wlad has a 3 fight deal with HBO. The Pulev fight was fight #1.

    How many times was your Obese hero James Toney on HBO?

    How can any division get better if you take the best fighter in that division out of it? Makes no sense at all.

    Of course he is. Chuck Wepner was ranked top 10 for three years smack in the middle of the seventies golden age and even landed a punch on Muhammad Ali in between fouling him.

    That's all the proof I need of how terrible today is compared to then.

    Based off that, and also landing four punches on the great Sonny Liston, Wepner would be undisputed today.

    Read the short story Harrison Bergeron. If you handicap or eliminate the special ones, you create parity where everyone's on the same level.

    Great, dominant fighters make some people feel bad. Better to play musical titles with lesser but more closely matched talents.

    And you'll be saying the same things about your new heroes when they come up short against Wlad like all the rest.
