    Which fight do you think most when you think of Wlad?

    When I think Tarver, I think of Jones vs Tarver II.

    RJJ: Jones vs Toney

    Hopkins: Hopkins vs. Trinidad

    De La Hoya: De la Hoya vs Quartey



    Fight stands out most to you?

    The first Peter fight....he was knocked down, but got back up and took care of business.
    He fought through the adversity..something that so many others said he couldn't do.
    This was at a time when Peter was seen as THE most dangerous fighter, most powerful, and Wladimir really needed a win...and yet he chose to fight Peter.

    I must admit he definatley has a MUCH better resume than his brother. He is a good fighter.

    for me its the sam peter or lamon brewster, second fights. both times he showed how much he's improved as a fighter and dominated both fights over guy's who'd given him some real trouble a few years back.

    Sanders!

    Wlad: "There ain't gonna be no rematch! I'll let my big brother take care of that nasty golfer!"

    Samuel Peter.

    It was a great fight and with Emanuel Steward Wlad becomes a more wellrounded fighter and Wlad takes care of himself since this fight.

    No. Wlad wants the rematch! But Sanders dropped the WBO belt and wants to fight for the WBC.

    Wlad wants to rematch Puritty. He wants to fight him after he loss to Sanders.

    I'd have to pick between the following:

    Samuel Peter I - Knocked down but came back to dominate
    Samuel Peter II - Total domination that showed how much he's improved
    Lamon Brewster II - See above
    Ray Mercer - Brutal ass whoppin'
    Chris Byrd I - Brutal ass whoppin'
    Chris Byrd II - Even More Brutal ass whoopin'
    Ruslan Chagaev - TKO'd undefeated WBA Champ for unification
    Sultan Ibragimov - Shutout against an undefeated opponent
    Calvin Brock - Brutal KO
    Tony Thompson - Brutal KO
    Eddie Chambers - Brutal KO

    All for different reasons of course. I voted for Chris Byrd.

    True though both opponents had declined themselves considerably.

    When he met Sanders and Brewster, he had over 40 fights and was a World Champion, so dont start with that contender bull ****.

    Wouldnt he as a champion have a re-match clause with Sanders, same with Brewster. But instead gets his brother to fight them.

    Wlad has been a great World champion, no doubt about it. But the fact is he will be remebered for these losses and no re matches
