    Holmes. His resume is a tad bit stronger.

    So after reading this, I guess It's safe to say Wlad moved ahead of Holmes with his wins over Povetkin, Pulev and Jennings.

    I have absolutely zero idea how anyone could pick Wlad before his wins over Pulev, Jennings and Povetkin.

    Now it's certainly debatable.

    Holmes just has a slight edge imo:

    Tim Witherspoon, Bonecrusher Smith, Trevor Berbick, Ray Mercer, Ken Norton, Mike Weaver, Earnie Shavers, Gerry ****ey.

    Samuel Peter, Chris Byrd, David Haye, Kubrat Pulev, Bryant Jennings, Sultan Ibragimov, Alexander Povetkin, Ruslan Chagaev.

    Leapai's just resume fluff. Nothing wrong with a mandatory, but worth noting from a resume standpoint only for the sake of thoroughness.

    I know you're not a Fury guy, but he's far from worthless. His biggest mistake was clowning with his own career at times on the way up, but when he stays focused, he's formidable. You won't find many 6'9, 260 pounders who have great conditioning and can actually box. Getting decked by Cunningham, who has accounted well for himself at HW, 2 1/2 years ago doesn't eliminate that.

    I've seen plenty of worse fighters garner ratings in supposedly stronger eras.

    Lying won't help your pitiful case.
    I've already proven time and time again that your only knowledge of the sport is via X-Box/Playstation and for the real sport, YDKSAB.

    Name one (1) ATG on Vlad's resume? Just one. :yep

    How about you name a prime ATG on Holmes' resume other then two losses to a light heavyweight?

    Holmes beat Mercer at over 40 in a very impressive performance.

    Wlads best win is against Povetkin , who isn't any better than Mercer and he best him in the worst foul riddled performance in HW history.

    Do the match.

    Green Wlad dominated prime Chris Byrd what's your point? The thread is about their respected title reigns.

    I didn't say "prime".

    I asked for ANY ATGs on Vlad's resume.
    Even his sister fought a well past prime Lewis as his only ATG, but how about Vlad?
    Name one prime, ancient, cripple, or brain dead ATG on Vlad's resume?

    Some guys have seriously demented obsessions with "ATGs" on this board. So if Wlad demolished the ghost of Tyson or Holyfield in 2002 you would give him credit?
