    Sadly looks that yeah cos modern idols had beated lads beated up by boxers from this era and even old versions of Pov and Wlad or Vitali.
    Even top fight Hrgovic vs Hunter modern " better era " is not capable to show us soon, despite best Hunter's life fight was a draw on western cards vs 40 y.o Povetkin's shadow ghost.
    Last A.J win was vs Pulev 39 y.o version. While 38 y.o Wlad had beated 33 y.o undefeated Pulev in 5 rounds, for A.J this had took 9 rounds when Pulev was 39 y.o.

    Old uncles and cherry picked opponents beat up era this is.

    I even suspect that A.J and Wilder does have packs more glassy jaw than Wlad and they both are hype jobs like rude Fury and his fans, best Fury win is Wilder who had beated 0 lad known in europe and is HYPE job like A.J and Wilder and he is NOBODY.
    Fury is mediocre rude lad who beated on points old Wlad and is NOBODY, like Wilder and A.J.

    Fury is NOBODY but at least he had balls unlike Wilder and A.J.
    Old uncles beater mark I might attach to A.J.

    While A.J even for me looks decent and nice lad, he looks too hyped up lad.
    I hope that this spoon feed by eddie and al kid will KO Fury out cold.
    Or Fury will KO him out cold, both of them had deserved this and Wilder too had deserved at least younger boxers for beat up in the ring.

    Like everything else, in the begining it's all good, now they changed it so it can be manipulated in every way they will want.

    Why not? Wlad was a great 2000s HW :cool:
    Top HWs from the 2000s - MANY of them - would soundly defeat generally smaller HWs from the pre 1960s, 60s-90s.

    Syrupy nostalgia with a heaping dose of nationalism and racism has too many fans, especially casuals who DKSAB, worshiping the old HWs. Judge the old HWs by their era, nothing more. You can compare below HW classes from early 1900s to today b/c your talking about the same size fighters. Still not easy to do, but you can make an argument.

    This is the worst list I’ve ever seen. I almost don’t even want to go into specifics because it’s so bad it defies specifics.

    Styles make fights, Povetkin would give Holmes nightmares as he is a lower case Tyson.

    Why not?
    Like EE fighters, US boxers too had prime and not prime periods and this does not depends from surnames and passport damn loved by you.

    Prime Pov I hink had beated up Holmes from 1988 th regardless from his surname, passport and with Holmes there had happened most likely the same thing like vs Hunter vs Usyk.
    While 1980-1981 th Holmes was prime Holmes.


    Okey, for lads like you in your core passport and origin matters more.
    Fighters nationality, origin and passport usually for fans matters too much and they are too biased there.
    Who he had beated?
    Casual nice loud talks from fans.
    Tyson had beated up nobody on note besides old out from retirement Holmes.
    Holmes had beated up nobody of note besides old ill and silly Ali who had challenged him.
    Nothing more there.

    They had beated up NO ONE in real note.
    Tyson and Holmes too were nothing special btw. Nothing important and hyped cos they were from U.S.
    Damn.
