    I see Tucker beating him as he proved that against Haye, if someone moved around, he had some problems catching them. Haye was just dumb and relied on a flailing overhand and Tucker was just better. Foreman didn't want to fight a shot to bits Tucker in the 90s btw.

    I don't see him beating Evander as Evander has too much skill for him and is too fast. And I dont think Wlad ever been hit with as much punch out put that Evander usually brings.

    I don't see Tokyo Douglas beating him though. Ruddock dies the same way he did against Lennox.

    Wlad could do Evander like Lennox did.

    So Tucker can beat Wlad? Tucker barely outboxed McCall.

    Evander had too much skill? What exactly did Evander do skill-wise better than Wlad? Jab? Hook? Cross? Uppercut? Too fast for Wlad? Wlad beat many fighters faster than Evander. Happy to name some for you.

    I think he beats Berbick, Thomas, Tucker and Holmes by UD.
    Likely stops Biggs, Tubbs, Bruno and Williams in entertaining battles.
    Can win versus Smith but if he is caught by a right hand, Wlad may not recover. Also Smith (and Berbick by the way) rivals him in terms of physical strength.
    Destroys Spinks.
    Also stops Tokyo Douglas who wouldn't enjoy the physical advantages he had against Tyson.

    Lewis landed 348 punches on Holyfield. Wlad landed 204 on plodding stump Sam Peter.
    The logical deduction here is Wlad lands even less on Holyfield.

    More, Lewis needed to throw more than 2 punches to compete with Holyfield and he relied heavily on the inside uppercut.

    Klitschko never commits to more than 2 punches at a time and he was has inside capability.

    A 1-2 punch can't defeat Holyfield. Espicially a 1-2 punch that was ineffective on moving targets with supreme defence.

    Jennings wasn't even a Temu version of Holyfield and look how that fight went. . Wlad could hardly land a power punch for 12 rounds.

    Holyfield makes mince meat of Wlad. That obvious to the educated , non-biased eye.

    That's not a logical deduction. That's a Dino deduction - illogical, blinded by hate.

    Lewis relied on the uppercut in the second fight, not in the first, when he won more clearly.

    Lewis was mostly throwing 1-2s too.

    Wlad hit harder than Lewis.

    Wlad was 3 years past his prime when he fought Jennings so you're grasping for straws with this comparison.

    You're the last one who should be talking about being biased, lol.

    Calling you blinded by hero worship doesn't strengthen my argument. But emotional responses is all you fanboys have.

    My post is strengthened by reality and iron clad facts such as compubox.

    If Wlad only landed 204 on Peter , reality states he would land far less on Holyfield. Why? Because Holyfield is a lot harder to pin down and hit than slow as molasses Peter.
    What part of this logical deduction is giving you trouble?

    And no, Lewis landed all sorts of hooks , body shots and uppercuts in both fights. Wlad has a jab and right hand. Occasional left hook if the guy is standing defenceless in front of him.
    Thas it. And the right hand wont be thrown unless the jab is landing.
    On Holyfield the jab won't be landing

    All you have is emotional outbursts, so you're the best one to know, lol.

    Your post is very far removed from reality, as always. But at least you are still giving us comedy gold, after all these years.

    Peter fight isn't the end all be all. We can point out to Evander Holyfield struggling with much lesser fighters than Wlad.

    Holyfield would be eating jabs all night like he did against Bowe.

    First Wlad is just like Lewis and can do everything Lewis did.
    Now Wlad is also just like Bowe and can do everything he did.
    Wlad couldn't even keep Peter at the end of his jab and broke the clinch record against Pov.
    Unbiased observers can see how detached from reality you are.
    An irrational bum boy , nothing more.

    That's when he was peaked with Steward so probably.

    Probably takes longer than Mike Tyson to stop most the fighters though and as posters have said it would be more boring and less well received.

    Personally if the fights aren't in Germany I think Tubbs speed could be a problem

    He'd do better then Tyson who had 4 losses and would be favored to win every single fight. But being favored to win every fight does not mean hes going undefeated. This group contains Lennox at the end and if i'd favor Wlad thats almost a 50/50 fight.

    Still its hard to see him dropping more then 2 here.

    Yes, and I think Tyson would beat all of Wlad’s opponents too.

    On paper yes. And he might very well. I’ll also include Tokyo Douglas on the list of men he likely beats. I don’t think any of those guys could outbox him and there really weren’t many big punchers except for smith and Bruno

    I don't think Mike could produce a 10 year stretch like Wlad did. He lacked discipline. In the 4 year stretch tho, I think you're right. I would love to see '88 Mike against Chris Byrd. Fascinating match up.
