    42 wins, 31 KOs.

    17 first round KOs that I count. 7 second round KOs. 6 KOs in either the third or fourth rounds.

    So out of 31 KOs, 30 of those KOs came within the first four rounds.

    I'd say that made him exactly what I called him.

    Sanders was a great talent. People talk like he was sh!t.

    Lightening fast handed KO artists aren't exactly ten a penny.

    Sanders was a great kamikaze fighter who caught green Klitschko early

    Lol.

    As soon as Marciano or Dempsey grazed his chin, one would witness these arms flapping the air like a bird attempting to take off.

    It would be a massacre.

    Yes, 185lbs plodders and swarmers routinely gave Wlad lots of problems.

    An oversight on my part.

    Well, didn't Fury (a guy who couldn't punch his way out a wet paper bag) strike such mighty fear in Wlad's heart when he plodded to a dreadful points victory 3 years ago ?

    Just touching the guy regularly is enough to scare him to death.

    Both Marciano and Dempsey would be charged with manslaughter after going through with him.

    Bowe was huffing and puffing to beat featherfist Coetzer and had to sock him in the balls to get him out of there.

    Sanders was on another level entirely to Coetzer and he would have used a guy like Bowe for target practise.

    I have to laugh at this motley collection of Bowe enthusiasts and Klitschko haters. They're bigging up a guy that has like 4 title defences against "world beaters" like Gonzalez, Hide, Donald and the ghost of Dokes to Klitschko who has more than 20 against all comers. It's painfully obvious that Dildo, Herol and the gang are trying their best to keep their Klitschko hate train alive. :rolleyes:

    Bowe took the title from an undefeated certified ATG , lost a razor close decision then ko'd him in their third fight.

    He then took on Donald, Gonzalez, Hide and Golota, all undefeated, and vanquished them all, 3 of them by KO.

    These 2 victories over Holyfield count more than all Wlad's empty defenses added together.

    In all his lenghty reign for over 11 years, Povetkin was the best fighter Wlad ever faced.
    His numerous defeats were crushing KO's against second tier opponents or a dreadful points loss to an equally dreadful pretender.

    His contests were so dull and uninspiring , thanks to referee corruption allowing him to tie smaller opponents like an octopus, that American medias dropped him.

    Color me impressed.

    The guy that he outweighed by 30lb? :rolleyes: Colour me impressed.

    Fact is when time came to face Lewis, his legs turned to wet noodles and he trashed the belt. You know that Wlad was asking for the Lewis fight, right? And when he faced another decent fighter his own size in Golota, he got the ever loving shyte beaten out of him.

    Wlad beat the following undefeated fighters:

    Jennings
    Pulev
    Povetkin
    Pianeta
    Wach
    Chagaev
    Ibragimov
    Brock
    Peter
    Castillo

    ... some of whom beat "certified ATG legends". Now where does that leave us?

    ^Opinion.

    I pick Povetkin to beat Bowe too.

    I pick Sanders to beat Bowe too.

    Many were dull affairs, sure. So what? He also put on some great displays.

    Bowe was one of the dirtiest fighters around, and he benefitted from referee corruption that saw him repeatedly foul, rabbit punch, low blow etc smaller opponents without getting disqualified. He should have been dropped by American networks but wasn't. Rumour has it the burger industry got a petition signed against such an action lest they go out of business.
