Ud12 over Tua I edited the 'stoppage' bit in with regards to the other fights forgetting I'd added Tua.
Really blame the IBF you really think Wlad couldn't have fought someone else outside a man he has already KO ed ? Wow had this been anyone else they would be called frauds ,cherry pickers etc ..Like mandos have never been made to step aside ..
For what? its already known Lewis is and always will remain higher in terms of ATG status whats there to read?
The 80's was considered 'crap' relative to the fact that the 70s was so damn good. A Part time Boxer who was a full time Golfer would not be Heavyweight Champion in any other modern day era. The 80s itself WAS weak, But no way would the likes of 38 year old Shot Jean Marc Mormeck be getting a shot in the 80s OR 90s. Nor would the likes of Manuel Charr, and any weak opponent that you are going to counter with, there will be stronger opponents to off-set that argument of yours. The 90s had the likes of Holyfield, (Albeit past his best) Tyson, Lewis, Tua, Bruno (who would've provided a challenge to most boxers - He might not be an ATG, but he was a good, and strong fighter). But Post Lewis era 2005, who has this Division had? Infact, I'd say Bruno would clear out the entire Heavyweight Division Post Lewis barring the Klitschko's. It's not Wlad's fault the Division is so **** - But it's too early to be calling him one of the greatest of all time etc..etc... I'll only rank him as an ATG IF he continues to reign supreme clearing out the next group of contenders {Price, Fury, Mitchell, Wilder (If he ever steps up) etc}. Wlad is no doubt a great fighter, but stop justifying the state of the Heavyweight Division. It's borderline pathetic. Thankfully for Wlad's legacy, there are good Heavyweights coming through, that'll allow us to truly rank his achievements. But until then, Wlad fans can't keep rating Wlad as though he's one of the greatest of all time - he hasen't done anything to prove that other than beating the bums put in front of him, and reigning for so long. Granted, he can only beat what's available - And that's not Wlad's fault; That's why it is how he deals with the challenge posed by the new generation, that will determine where he truly ranks. I don't respond to ALTs.
Not many FLOYD patterson and JACK DEMSEY ? You do realize that Im aggreeing with you ? I:M very aware of how rediculously over rated all past generations are and how bad the brothers and this whole generation is underrated by comparison . hence the ROSE COLORED glasses comment ?
You better not respond because Ill rip youre bull**** to shreds . You spend t much time beleaving status quo bull**** and reviewing highlight reals my friend !:deal

:rofl are you serious? thompson's a bum.... there is nothing to deal with. it was a poor performance against...... a bum. :rofl
but he was at least a decent fighter. ali was pretty shot at that point as well. thompson is just a disgrace. a nothing fighter.
