    Where have you been for the last 10 years? He's been knocked down 11 times by my count, and TKO'd 3 times by journeymen. I will name all the oppenents if you would like, Purrity, Sanders 4 times, Brewster, Panel, Peter 3 times, Williamson.

    I would go as far as to say he has the weakest chin for a recognized Heavyweight champ since Patterson in the late 50's early 60's. And he was not a natural heavyweight like Wlad is either.

    The one who stands the best chance of winning is Lennox 'absolutely' Lewis. As for the rest, Wlad will just jab em.

    Yeah, that's my problem with saying he'd beat any of them. He has the size, reach and jab to beat Marciano but whenever i imagine that fight happening the thought of the Walcott fight pops into my mind, where he was out boxing Marciano for the majority of the fight before being viciously KO'd with one big shot. Marciano had astonishing one punch KO power and Vlad was KO'd by journeymen with less than steller power. Marciano KO's him(same for the majority of those listed), end of story.

    When you have a glass chin and questionable toughness at the top ranks, you are always at risk of being caught with something big and falling apart at the seams, something Wlad is known for doing against aggressive fighters with a good punch, most of which on this list have.

    you forgot the none option. i was seriously considering a lucky win over frazier, but joe never got tired and wlad would have to be the aggressor and land some bombs on joe like foreman did in order to win, but wlad does not have that style. i think wlad could win some first rounds, keeping joe at bay with his jab, perhaps landing an uppercut on the inside, and even dropping joe. but other than the foreman fights, joe was known for getting back up and winning them, and since joe never gets tired and attacks the body nonstop, i think joe would still win this one even tho i'd probably have wlad as the bigger puncher. wlad was a one punch ko artist early in his career, but foreman would leave them stretched. joe would force wlad to fight bobbing and weaving making wlad over jab and move around the ring. joe would land his left hook every now and then to command respect. it would of been close, but i'd still pick joe to beat wlad in a decision

    The General forum really is as bad as it's made out to be. Some people think Wlad would actually beat Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Frazier et all. Wlad being competitive is outlandish enough!
    ****ing hell.

    :lol: Wlad's about as straight as a circle, he would rather pose naked playing twister with his brother then getting together with a fine *****.

    How the **** did Ken Norton beat Ali once? Let alone two out of three times?

    Holmes was outboxed and beaten by blown-up light-heavy Michael Spinks, twice.

    Lennox was starched by McCall and Rahman, does this mean he could NEVER beat the little midget Frazier?

    A prime Wlad who is fighting behind the jab and employing a safety-first, win-on-points-or-late-stoppage strategy is a NIGHTMARE for ANY ATG to defeat. Go through the list of ATG heavyweights and find me just ONE opponent that ANY of them defeated who combines monster size, athleticism, technical ability, ring intelligence and heart the way Wlad does.

    (Yes, heart. Wlad does have a fighter's heart, he can be knocked down and out but he will fight until rendered unconscious.)

    :hat
     
  11. I picked Rocky Marciano, and i agree with the Fraizer pick too, those guy's were just to small, Rocky at 185-190 would be killed...
    WLAD would lose to Ali for sure, and Holmes! and would get KO'D hard by Lennox, Wlad had to hold on for dear life, and was floored 3x by Peter no way do i see him getting by the Elite fighters, Wlad fights to scared, **** Iggy made him nervous, what would Lennox do, make him wet himself..

    I agree to an extent, but Rocky had one hell of a chin, aggreesive and powerful, something Wlad has had problems with those type of fighters in the past (Brewster, Peter, Sanders). I would honestly have that fight a 50/50, I could see Wlad having his way with Marciano because of his jab alone. Though I could just as easily see Wlad having a panic attack and melting under the pressure of the rocks big punches.

    This is a seriously underrated view. Although i only voted liston, marciano and frazier, he has a serious shout against the rest just on size alone. Relax people, he's behind everyone there as far as all time greatness is concerned. But we're talking 6'7 245 pound man versus 6'3 (at the largest) 220 pounds men. He's just a bigger animal in general than alot of the old great heavyweights, which gives him a decent chance, whether he equals them on boxing skills or not.

    :lol: Wlad gets scared if a punch just grazes him. Watch how rocked he was against Brewster in the 3rd round with just a jab for christ sakes, his legs buckled from under him, and he went into panic attack mode as usual. Dont even get me started on how bad he looked against Peter, a crude 25 yearold slugger. Wlad held excessively, panicked, fell all over the place, and looked scared half the night. I think we all could agree, Sam Peter is no Mike Tyson.
