    Those guys would go through Wlads record unbeaten.

    Mike Tyson could probably go through half of it in a year.

    I think both Vitali and Wlad would go through Tyson's record unbeaten until Lennox.

    I'm glad to hear that your drug dealer finally got through with that parcel

    They couldn't go through their own weaker records unbeaten.

    The Ghost of Mike Tyson knocked out Clifford Etiene in the first round.

    Clifford beat Lemon Brewster , then Brewster destroyed Wlad in only 5 rounds.

    That tells you all you need to know.

    Ah, the old triangle theory. Try that with Ali, Frazier and Foreman. Or Hopkins, Taylor and Pavlik.

    Do you honestly think Clifford would beat Wlad? Come on now

    Triangle theories. I thought we'd moved on from those dark times

    Louis, Ali, Lewis are the only three on that list who I think would have good odds to do it.

    The others will all have these problems in one way or another:

    1) Consistency problems (eg Bowe)
    2) Too short a prime (eg Tyson)
    3) Too damn small (eg Holyfield)
    4) Stylistic problems affecting longevity (eg Frazier)
    5) They were never really that good (eg Shavers)

    Or combinations of the above.

    Isn't this prime vs prime assumption? If not I can give you a dozen name who beat Danny Williams and Buster Douglas.

    Valeuv could have done it easily if he backed humped everybody like Wlad did.

    LOL, I just looked up some records now. For these guys to replicate Wlad's record, they would essentially have to be fighting into their 40's. I take it back. I don't think I see ANY of their "old man" versions fighting even Tyson frickin' Fury and winning.

    Not prime vs prime. If you transplanted one of those guys into Wlad's shoes, what then?
