    So instead of fighting guys like Peter, Brock, Povetkin, he's fighting Such as The above named and other 80 s men?

    You wouldn't hear the end of the story about how Wlad was fighting Lionel Butler's leftovers and how Weaver couldn't be seen as a credible opponent because he lost two in a row to no-name Howard Smith. There would also be the usual suspect arguing that Wlad was a worse version of James Tillis which proves Pinklon Thomas would have knocked him out in 3.

    At their best fighters like Witherspoon, Thomas, would be dangerous they hit hard enough and have pretty sturdy chins to make them dangerous opponents for Wladimir.

    It all depends when Wladimir fights them though as the 80s Heavyweights as you know were very inconsistent.

    I'd definitely have Tim and Pinklon beating the majority of the 2K HW's during Wlad's reign, but yeah the 80's were very inconsistent..........I blame the coke :confused:

    Yes they were, inconsistent at the best of times, the only one that wasn't was of course Larry.
    But if Wlad meets em at the time they won a belt, so that's near enough em at their best?
