    Which active boxer is most likely to become a household name once Mayweather & Pacquiao retire?

    :good In terms of ability Brook is already the best welterweight on the planet. All he's missing is opportunity.

    If Deontay Wilder keeps winning and fights on NBC and CBS, I think he will

    Wilder won't keep winning though will he. He has no chin. None.

    Neither does Vlad, but he's done fantastic regardless.

    There's a difference between a shaky chin and no chin at all

    I give Vlad all the respect for who he is in the Heavyweight division, but Vlad has a very questionable chin. I'm pretty sure his punch and hold for dear life style is a result of him knowing his Chin is not granite, or iron, or wood but instead not of the toughest matter.

    I think all the heavyweights suck for the most part, just Vlad sucks the least..

    I believe Haye would've knocked out Vlad had all his toes been OK.

    There's a very good chance... Sanders was some kind of golfer, look what he did.

    I followed Corrie Sanders during his entire career..............Sanders was not a professional golfer, but he was a good amateur golfer, runner, track & field, he was a natural at all sports. When he fought Vlad he was in the best shape of his entire life, he has been training for over 3 months, preparing for a fight with Valouev in South Africa. Sanders was not allowed to fight for the gold medal because of politics and Lennox Lewis admitted that he ducked Sanders. Sanders is the best south paw heavyweight I have ever seen, fast as hell, he was 6 feet 5 inches tall with very long arms. Vlad did not even spar for that fight, just lifted weights...............Corrie refused to give Vlad a rematch, but Vitali beat him almost to death................Sanders was a world champion, but he could have been a world champion for many years if allowed to fight, would have easily won the gold medal in the Olympics. Corrie Sanders was "NOT" a golfer. Ray Leonard played golf..............but he was not a professional golfer...................ask Bobby Czyz about Corrie Sanders, he can tell you how good he was...............

    Do you think Vlad's chin will hold up under bombardment from Anthony Joshua MBE? :think
