    And Wlad at 39 was still bouncing around on his legs in the 12th round.

    This is true.

    Asides from Vitali, Valuev and Ruiz, Wlad has pretty much beat all the relevant names.

    Byrd, Haye, Chagaev, Povetkin, amongst others.

    Louis ko7, I could see that. His fast hands and deadly power will be to much for WK, once WK feels his power he will be on the defensive but Joe will still find him for the clean KO!

    WK may be able to beat the Rock on points, I can't make a strong case against the rings pick here either.

    WK will KO Floyd but it may be earlier, Patterson just doesn't have the chin to last very long. WK KO3

    WK vs Liston, tough fight battle of jabs Liston has the heavier jab and is nasty but could WK frustrate him to death and possibly win on points. I'll take Liston Ko9 in the states and WK by decision on his home turf.

    Prime Ali will box circles around any version of WK and depending on how WK fights he could also be stopped but I'll take Ali by wide UD.

    Frazier ko11 WK, I say he gets under enough of those WK jabs and crosses to punish WK's body and punish you Frazier would. He was like a locamotive that just kept coming. If Wlad doesn't fold in the first half from either catching a strong left hook or exhaustion from Joe's relentlessness then he eventually puts him down for the KO late in the fight!!

    Holmes dec, Holmes isn't a huge puncher so that will help WK here this will be a hard fought close fight as they have more than a few contrasts in style. Both employ the jab to set up everything else. Holmes doesn't grab like WK but instead employs side to side movement while popping the jab and shoots in with the right hand. WK prefers to plant his feet and let you walk into his shotgun jab while setting you up for the big right hand. It would be interesting to see who would lead. This could be a chess match. I'll stick to a Holmes dec win.

    Tyson ko4 think Tyson vs Holmes. WK is not going to be able to avoid the Tyson power for very long. Short brutal one sided Tyson KO!

    Lewis ko5 to much right hand power and just simply to good for WK. anything WK can do Lewis does better!!

    Foreman ko2 no way can WK avoid getting smashed Foreman gets him early!!

    Louis -- Louis will get to that chin with some shots late in the fight. KO8

    Marciano -- Marciano will go down because he was a sucker for he right cross ( Wlads got a good one) he will get inside and frustrate and wear down Wlad, I see a few Overhand rights finding Wlad and finishing him very late. KO 11

    Patterson - Not gonna win this.. he is fast, but that wont help him much

    Liston --- Wlad will frustrate and wear on Liston, Liston will try to outbox Wlad and will lose in the War of Jabs... Enough of Wlads right crosses and Liston goes down and out. Wlad.. KO 8

    Ali -- Ali has to much stamina, and he will pepper Wlad all night.. Wlad will not be able to keep up the pace, but will tie Ali up enough to stay upright.. Ali By Dec

    Frazier -- this is a tough fight to call... Will Frazier wear Wlad down fast enough or get caught one to many times on the way in.... Wlad has a poor inside game, he wont do a foreman on Frazier... Wlad smothers him to often though for Frazier to start smoking... Wlad by Decision

    Holmes --- His Chin will see him through some bombs, and Wlad cant put him away.... Holmes will have amazing moments but in the end just come up short... Wlad by Dec

    Tyson -- Swarmer that has trouble with fighters that can tie him up. Tyson at his prime was wicked fast.. and He will catch Wlad a few times... Tyson via the uppercut after flooring Wlad with a flurry. Wlad stays down.. His brother comes in and kicks Tyson around for beating up his brother though.

    Lewis. -- he is to timid, I actually see Wlad as the faster fighter, with better textbook ability.... If Lewis gets brave and goes for the kill, he will take it... But, That's not what will happen, Wlad wins in a clincher.

    Foreman -- Prime Foreman was open to shots, it will be a shoot out in a big hurry.. This fight for me is 50/50. I do think Wlad lands first, but he may not land last...

    Dempsey needs to be on this list.



    I see Dempsey as to fast, and powerful for Wlad... His panther like quickness will very quickly get Wlad on his bike. Wlad will be able to pepper him with Jabs coming in, but Dempsey's style is unlike Tysons straight ahead assault, Smokin Joes Inside frenzies, or Pattersons wicked combos.

    He will be moving in and out like a cat... He simply has great footwork and angles, he will catch Wlad and KO him after several knockdowns Dempsey.. KO 9

    Wlad is a legend himself... He wins more of those than most of you think.

    Moore caught Marciano with a right, as Rocky was coming in with a overhand right.

    That just how I see Rocky getting caught, He would have to throw Overhand rights to reach Wlad, and I believe Wlad could catch him with his right as he came in.

    Moore didn't drop Marciano with a right cross which is exactly my point.
