    Who gives a **** you imbecile? Ask anybody to name ONE Wlad opponent at they would say, "who the **** is Wlad?"

    His bigger wins were in the 70s, but that's only because the 70s was a better era, meaning there was better opposition. And that fact that he was physically declined only adds to the significance of the victories. His domination of Terrell was his best fight, funnily enough Terrell was 6"6. After the layoff, he was physically deteriorated... anybody with half a brain can see this first hand by merely watching footage. It's not hard, get on it.

    Lennox Lewis is a far tougher matchup than Wlad. As is Holmes. As is Ali. As are others. That is a terrible pick, because realistically, anybody with a punch could spark him. Can you imagine if Earnie Shavers landed a right hand?

    HW pick is an absolute joke imo. Also at LHW I consider Michael Spinks and Michael Moorer much more difficult to beat than Roy Jones. Had Jones proven himself against DM (a fight he may have lost but would have prob. won, "we do not know) he would have a stronger case but he imo does not. Wlad is not the hardest to beat, punchers are limited nowadays, and the fighters he beat impressively are basically made for him stylistically. That is why I like the Haye fight, Wlad will probably win, but it is a stylistic nightmare for him.

    Gonna have to pin you down to one here my friend :p

    Wow. I think really, really highly of Canizales, but I wouldn't put him in with those two. Olivares would be my pick here.

    Then Chang would be it.


    And Olivares would be mine aswell....But Orlando I feel had a unique style and a lot of athletic talent..He had a great chin and excellent offensive skills, I think on his day he is a very hard guy to knock off.

    Ruben was beatable because of his party boy ways...at his best probably no one defeats him at this weight..but he wasnt always at his best.

    Jofre was technically near perfect in the Medel fight..but probably gets a lot of mileage on his reputation..I dont know of to much film of him in his prime. Ive just seen one impressive losing effort to Harada outside of the Medel fight, Im pretty sure there is film of the other fight but I think ive only seen highlights of it.

    Orlando isnt as great, but I think H2H he is a real dark horse
