    No he was not. He had decision loss and wasn't old. Peter was hurt in round one, and badly outclassed. Prime Wlad had issues beating Peter for the first time. It was simply a dominating performance from a man who has been out of the ring for 4 years.

    Arguing with clowns has its limits. Yeah I get a kick out of how dumb the replies are, but I think I've hit the point where I have my fill.

    Popularity has NOTHING to do with quality FFS... Is that the stick you're using to measure??

    Is it really over? Guys they beat 6-7 years ago are getting title shots or have fought Fury.

    This entire era is built on Wlad being 39 and 41 in two fights!

    yes. Generally when the quality is better it’s more popular.

    example. Woman’s football. Poor quality, bad skill, many teams levels above others. low attendance, low money.

    men’s football. Massive. Elite skill. World Cup the worlds most watched event. Richest sport

    Hunter would make easy work of Pulev.

    I rate Chagaev but Ruiz hand speed and being an aggressive counter puncher would make me heavily favour Ruiz.

    Pulev would school Arreola in a 12 round shut out.

    Rivas KOed Jennings, he would KO Dimitrenko.

    Vitalli vs AJ is tough one. I mean AJ wins are far superior than Vitalli whose best wins are against Chisora, Adamek and Sanders (none of which would make AJ's top 5 win). I rate Vitalli but he he never really beat any top quality fighters (unlike his brother who had wins over Haye, Povetkin and Pulev) although there is no doubt in mind Vitalli certainly had the quality to do so.

    I had Povetkin beating Chambers comfortbably and I would even back a declining Povetkin against him.

    Parker vs Boystov is a totall missmatch.

    I agree Haye vs Whyte is 50/50,Povetkin beats Wilder and I would pick Adamek over Ortiz (who shouldnt in the rank magazine top 10 at all).

    He had epic struggle with McCline a year earlier and took a loss to an overweight Eddie Chambers straight after the Vitali fight. He was washed up. Its as clear as day to anybody thats not biased like you.

    Here , refresh your memory. Watch how throwing a jab leaves him of balance. He looked completely finished.

    i don’t get it? The higher the skill level, the more will watch. That’s obvious. I gave an example

    yea. Honesty is all we want. Fury looked cr*p against wallin. Against McDermott. And probably a few others.

    aj wasn’t brilliant against takam. He was lucky against klit.

    just be honest

    This is a joke with nothing to back it. We're going through one of the worst HW period ever. Most already agree in that.
