    1. It used to be all the broads who practically camped out in front of his doorstep at his residence in Hamburg. Now that is older and more mature it is no longer a problem anymore. He outgrew it. I heard women used to mail him various undergarments and even left bras and panties on his doorstep. Poor guy huh?
    2. The young russian lion Povetkim.

    3. The British banger Davis Haye who can CRACK.

    4. Any man 220 + lbs. who has a plan, skills, trains hard and comes to fight. Anyone can lose if they are caught right.

    1. Valuev, he has a great chin that would keep him in the fight longer than most, he is also the only Heavyweight out there that would make Wlad look short, his height I believe would scare Wlad a bit, but I dont know if it would be enough, I give him a 40% chance of beating Wlad.

    2. Sam Peter, he was the last man to hurt and knock Wlad down, Peter has good power and above average chin, who's a pretty good pressure fighter, time will tell if the Mccline fight was just a fluke or not, I give him a 35% chance of beating Wlad.

    3. Briggs, I have watched alot of Briggs over the years and the man has some serious power, with 60% of his wins coming by knockout in the 1st round, the type of guy who could be quite a threat early on against the weak chinned Wlad. He is also a good counter puncher, a give him a 25% chance of beating Wlad.

    Wlad is beatable, if you have good power and chin, and come out aggresive, you got a good chance of beating Wlad IMO.

    #1-Haye has been knocked out before. He is no threat to a heavyweight because he hasn't fought anyone worth anything at heavyweight.

    2-Possible, but not probable.

    3-Give me a ****ing break. I saw him fight live. All he has fought is tomato cans.

    I disagree. Vitali beat him because he showed up fat and out of shape. Even so, he was missing Vitali with bombs by mere inches all night, and Vitali was fighting brilliantly. Vitali never looked better.

    He rarely bothered to get in shape. When he did he was devestating. Wlad had the misfortune to run into him one of the few times in his life that he bothered to get himself into top condition. He has the quickest and most devestating punch in boxing. He was smacking Rahman - who beat Lewis - around like a rag doll, but then he ran out of gas. Out of shape again.

    Also, he was not able to get the big money fights when he was in his prime as he was living in SA and did not care to move to the US as did Botha, and all the big names were avoiding him, for obvious reasons.

    I'd say everyone is a threat to Wald but he is a threat to everyone too. I wouldn't be surprised if any heavyweight KOed him but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if he KOed any of them too. He's that type of fighter.
