Can anyone name another great heavweight besides Wlad

Floyd Patterson
Ezzard Charles

Jack Johnson only twice, but lost (points) and drawn quite a bit more and against much worse opposition before turning 30

 

1 legit KO loss. 1 legitimate gassing, and 1 questionable gassing.

Has any other ATG HW ever gassed, prime Foreman comes to mind vs Ali. Any other ATG HW ever been KTFO, Lewis 2x in his prime. Tyson in his prime 1x.

By this standard Larry Holmes =Goat.

 

Yeah but the guys the others lost to were much better than the guys Wlad lost to, even a guy like Buster Douglas, was in his day miles ahead of those guys.

 

"Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?"

 

There's a flip side to the question: Has any other HW build himself back up to champion after three KO losses in his 20'ies? Only Wladimir has managed to do that. No reason always to look at the negative side. Wladimir is a legit champion, one of many fine fighters in HW history, though he reigns in a weak era.

 

Not actually, Douglas had one of the worst records of any champion in history........

 

Douglas was a RANKED CONTENDER going into his fight with Tyson, he had beaten McCall and had already fought for a world title. therefore he was not a journeyman or a bum.

 

apparently you dont know much about history

 

Man people will go to such lengths to hate on Wlad

 

Only because Tyson had cleaned out the division. Name one contender outside of Tyson he beat??

 

Age aint really relevant. What is is the period that can be deemed prime.

Wlad lost maybe 1 prime fight and that was against brewster. Before that he was an attacking risk taking fighter who didn't have the durability to back it up.

Lewis lost in his prime to rahman.
Tyson lost in his prime to douglas.
Ali lost in his prime to frazier.
Frazier lost in his prime to foreman.
Foreman lost in his prime to ali.
Johnson lost in his prime, the names escape me but I think it was hart and jeanette.
Liston lost in his prime to ali.
Holyfield lost in his prime to bowe.
Louis lost in his prime to schmeling.

Most greats avenge prime losses or suffer unavenged prime losses to fellow greats.

Wlad's only prime loss, and even that's debatable, was to brewster. A loss he avenged.

Age don't matter. Ask moore and hopkins. Their primes were certainly not in the 20's.

 

Wladtard Alert!
