    No, you're doing it again as you do with your post history. Are you *special*?

    If we're talking prime, I consider that Wlad lost two in his prime, Sanders and Brewster.

    Wlads fairly good H2H but not above world class, you've given me the proof. I'd didnt lift a muscle.

    When Bowe gets hit flush, he charges at you.
    When Wlad gets hit flush, he starts panicking and flaps his arms around like a bird.

    Bowe wins this comfortably. As soon as he lands on Wlad chin it’s the beginning of the end.

    Wlad has no chin and unravels when buzzed.

    When did Corrie Sanders become a 1st round KO artist? Who did Sanders beat besides Wlad? Right Golota wrecked a beat up washed up Bowe. This means what? You know Wlad was knocked out by 3 guys who were shorter than him right? He was knocked down 3 times by 6'1 overweight Sam Peter. He was knocked down by 1 punch by the 6'3 glass chin Davaryll Williamson. But yeah Riddick Bowe couldn't knock out Wlad. The only thing that is make believe is how you biased Wladimir Klitschko fans try to overrated him.

    My view exactly.

    And it's not really that Wlad has a glass chin: he got hit with 4-5 straight howitzers by Sanders before being totally out.
    But he just stays buzzed for a few minutes and can't shake it off like most boxers can.
    That's all that's needed for him to get stretched against other world class foes.

    Morrison had the same problem, compounded by him being essentially an inside fighter.

    Wlad was a very dominant HW that reigned for a huge period of time, but against other HW greats, he most certainly loses nearly everytime because this fatal natural defect.

    I can't think a top 10 HW in history he wouldn't lose to.

    corrie always was a 1st round ko artist, but he decided not to try to ko people in 1 round all his 20 year career.

    He only decided to try in retirement when he got in the ring with wlad for 3 minutes.

    Sanders was known as a very dangerous guy early doors, due to his speed, power and unorthodox aggressive style. He knocked down Rahman and badly rocked Vitali early before both came back to stop him. He was like Shavers in that regard, deadly but lacking the stamina to go the distance against better fighters.

    Citing a bunch of guys that decked Wlad as evidence that another, better, fighter would knock him out is a fool's argument. It's the same line of reasoning that had people picking Haye to blitz Wlad in a couple of rounds, and Wlad himself to blitz Fury. Stylistically, and based on past performances, the likelihood of Bowe dropping Wlad are slim. He wasn't a huge one punch hitter, and lacked effectiveness at range. Plus his documented struggles against taller fighters like Donald and Golota show that he'd likely have trouble closing Wlad down as well.

    Assuming they're in your top ten, I'd pick him to beat Louis, Frazier, Dempsey, Marciano, Johnson and have a damn good shot at beating Holmes. Ali might struggle as well.

    yeh i agree he always was that for 20 years, but only decided to use in for 3 minutes of those 20 years in retirement against wlad. weird how he was that good but a third choice stand in for wlad.

    was he a v dangerous speed power unorthodox before or only just after u saw prime wlad getting easily smashed instantly by him? wonder when the thougth first occurred to you that he was an atg killer.
