    Interesting. Didn't know all that.
    I chose him because the list of prolific cheaters in top level sports isn't that large to chose from.
    I know if Wlad behaved the way he does on the football/soccer field , he'd be suspended and heavily fined in a heartbeat.

    Nice try:cool:
    Fantasy match ups only involve prime versions otherwise they make no sense.We are talking Bowe from Holy I.

    How about a compromise I'll concede a pre-Steward Wlad may have gotten stop by Bowe late.... now you admit the post Steward Wlad pitches a shutout on Bowe and stops him late.

    Nope, I don't see any Wlad stopping, or pitching a shut out on a prime Bowe. We'll have to agree to disagree.

    Wlad is 100% perfect and without flaws but neither is Hopkins, Ward or Bowe for that matter, most of them would be fined or suspended as well. You should be fair and go after all dirty fighters with the same zeal.

    Based on which of Prime Bowe's wins do you think makes him that great other than the Holyfield win.

    His other wins aren't great, but wins over Biggs, Donald, Tillery, Coezter etc, were very solid. His two wins over Holyfield is 10000000x better than what Wlad has ever done. If wlad fought one elite or HOF then I would give Wlad his credit, but like I said before his best wins are over a LHW in byrd, and a cruiserweight in Haye.

    I am truly impressed that you always find a picture, a link og anything about Wlad in a discussion when you hate him so much.

    Or do you secretly love him? But at the same time are afraid to admit it to yourself?

    Wlad's 17 consecutive title defenses make up for a win over a former cruiserweight against a superheavy.

    Exaggerating again. Povetkin, pulev, Byrd, Thompson, chambers, haye. All decent wins and better than Coetzee,Tilley and Biggs. Bowes resume has no depth.

    Wlad fought over blown cruiser weights, bums and journey men. The only time he fought someone decent he got knocked out.

    Biggs is way more skilled than Povetkin, Pulev, etc.
