    TBF, Ali was a notorious cheater with the glove cutting, blinding Liston by putting substances in his gloves, mafia connections...the holding behind the head on Foreman and and the loose ropes in Zaire. Loose tape in the Norton rematch........

    Wlad's actual reign was oodles better in terms of depth and actual head-to-head quality than those of Marciano, Foreman, Frazier or Johnson. In an objective sense, what he accomplished was simply more impressive.

    For me, it's a tough call between Holyfield and Foreman but I have to say that Evander has to go.

    Wlad has a personal haters fanclub :lol: However, in my opinion, you could take basically any top 10 guy that you want and he's do as well or better than the other guy against the same opponents with the possible exception of Lewis. Couple that with his long title reign ... I have him at #5

    Nah. Not a great chin but not cardboard either. He faced some huge hitters in his time.
