    Wlad

    Anyone who says otherwise is a ******. Fact. It's only a certain type of butthurt individuals who hate Wlad purely because they don't dominate heavyweight boxing anymore. If Wlad was... the same as those certain butthurt types, he'd be idolised. Fact.

    Mike Tyson said his favorite fighter is Fedor Emelianko. That's good enough for me. No doubt Floyd is special. It's truly amazing how Emelianko dominated for 9 1/2 years against taller and heavier and juiced opponents. I am not an MMA guy but Fedor Emelianko is the fighter of the century. The last true (natural) champion. There will never be another like him. To much money in sports now. In this era cheating is rampant in all sports. Even college. He did it the way it should be done. Like Coach K in NCAA basketball. No recruiting violations, high graduation rate and quality of wins. Fedor is the best fighter of the 21st century. What is there in winning when you have to cheat to be proud about?
    Fedor #1
    Floyd #2

    Floyd have beaten far better fighters, so there is your answer and plus doesnt have losses to B and even C level fighters(like WLad).

    Floyd has beaten Marquez, Corrales, Hatton, Canelo, Guerrero, Cotto, and Judah.

    Who has Wlad fought that compares to those guys?

    true Dat!

    Wishful thinking hardly changes a boxer's level of skills.

    Comparing Vlad to Mayweather is akin to comparing a BIC lighter to a 3 alarm fire. :yep:rofl:rofl

    Floyd's next opponent is Maidana, who's coming off a win over Broner.

    By contrast, Wlad's next opponent is Lepai, who's coming off a win over Boytsov.

    Floyd actually has a decent string of wins: Cotto, Guerrero, and Canelo.

    No doubt!

    None of the above mentioned fighters have succeeded in introducing a new punching technique to the sport, like Joe.
