    Bruno was a random belt holder. Put him on the level of Ibragimov, Byrd or Haye. Holmes was a fat retired slob of lard by the time Tyson fought him. The deterioration of skill was about as bad as comparing prime Mercer with the 40 year old shell version that Wlad fought.

    And Spinks? You mean the glass-jawed former LHW? Christ I love how people bring that up all the time. Imagine Wlad demolishes Adamek today. That's your Spinks win.

    If we're honest with ourselves, the best guy Wlad beat was David Haye. A guy who wouldnt crack the top 50 of an all time list.

    Frank Bruno on Tyson's resume shits all over anything Wlad ever accomplished.

    That can be said about pretty much every fighter today.. Wlad became the "champ" by beating Peter and Byrd, the two best HWs back in 06.

    Byrd is a better and far more accomplished HW than Haye.. Peter was also a greater H2H threat back in the day

    frank Bruno was champion for a day, nothing more. just like Shannon Briggs or Lyakhovich or Tommy Morrison. got the belt, lost it in the first or second defence. you guys are whack. telling fairy tales all day long

    Just because I don't think Wlad is a top ten ATG HW, doesn't make me a 'hater' everyone has different opinions.

    You don't see me calling people 'Klitards', I respect your opinion, just disagree with it.

    :roflFrank Bruno is a ****ing ATG now too. Who did he ever beat? A decision over Oliver McCall and not much else. And don't even bring up Coetzee or Bugner.

    Frank Bruno is a British Legend, just like Sven Ottke and Henry Maske are German Legends, but never ATG, IMO not even HOFers.

    LOL you're joking. Christ Byrd alone already (who beat Vitali and later defended his IBF strap a number of times) is a way better win than Bruno.

    Bruno's record is a joke. He won 1 out of 5 title fights, I mean seriously :lol:

    Bruno must be one of the weakest HW belt holders in the last 25 years really. Lost the belt right after he won it and the rest of his career was just an utter train wreck.

    Thanks, I just thought I'd nip the notion that he isn't before some hater says otherwise.
