    Read carefully.

    Losh is claiming that the HW's of TODAY are superior to the HW's of the past.

    To which I've replied, they're not as good as the HW's from 30 years ago, as a whole.

    Do you understand?

    2005-2015 is a full decade.

    That decade wasn't as strong as the 80's and 90's, and neither is today's.

    You can compare today's HW's with your list from the 00's if you wish.

    In that decade Wlad lost twice.

    His dominance has been from 2004-today.

    Another one.

    I was replying to lordlosh.

    Losh thinks that there's an INSANE gap between TODAY'S HW's, and HW's of the past.

    Okay?

    As a whole, the HW's of the 80's and 90's, were better than the HW's of 2005-2015, and they were without a doubt better than today's top 20.

    He's a huge fan of Wlad's, and he worships his dominance.

    But the era that Wlad is currently dominating, ain't all that.

    :good

    Compare the DECADES then.

    I don't care.

    List everyone who's fought from the period of Wlad's dominance.

    Losh is saying today's HW's are superior to the HW's of the past.

    Anyone who knows anything about boxing, knows that that's a joke.

    Byrd beat Vitali. Byrd was poor man Jimmy Young.:deal

    Wlad may probably decision Young. But Young would make him look like a robot.

    Michael Spinks is the best light heavyweight of all times.This aint no Chris Byrd/

    He decisions both Klits. The Klits only have a puncher chance against Michael.

    who do you think you are fooling? your list is a ****ing incomplete. where is Bowe and that is just one example. or Mike Tyson

    to a random point in time?Ho the hell you think you are fooling?For Wlad we are are talking a 15 year span?

    that list comprises 3 ATGs, HOF. Wlad never fought an ATG, moron

    No, you were reply to Butch who was comparing specific Championship opposition.

    Today's top 20 only looks weak because we only have one guy who's been around long enough to carve out a piece of history for himself. Povetkin is gradually getting there.

    In retrospect, Povetkin, Pulev, and even Wilder and more of these young guys may finish up with impressive careers. And somebody looking back 15 years later, and say "wow, what a strong era"

    No, again you were replying to Butch who made no such generalized claim. You attempted to pass "the present" as an era and compare it to a 10 year span of different fighters.

    No, 2005-2015 is not a decade if you are grouping 80s and 90s as seperate decades.

    You can't go 80-90, 90-00, .....05-15 because you don't like the results 00-10 produce.


    Holmes was only dominant from 80-85, but that didn't stop you from listing Holyfield, Tyson..etc. Men who had not quite made a name for themselves as HWs in that time.

    I did the same thing you did, and proved how flaws that approach was, you just don't like the results.

    Hey another guy that lost an account bet to me, really putting it on the line and boldly calling a fantasy fight. To bad in the real world, his predictions don't work out because he DYSAB.

    In retort, I will say Wlad vs Holmes, will be Wlad vs "random black guy" all over again. :huh
