    He changed his tune on Lewis after he cleaned up the heavyweight division... as he explains here on this video at 6:24.

    Oh and that list of fighters was awful... he wasn't too kind to the modern era at all. But that was always Sugar's problem, plus he was American and back in the day they had a hard time giving heavyweight champs that wasn't Americans any respect, just look at the treatment of Lewis and the Klits for evidence of that.

    I'd actually give cooney a better chance of beating wlad because of cooney's power and wlad's glasshammer

    Cooney was pretty good before he lost to Holmes. He was a threat but he definitely had a glass mind. He would have a live puncher`s chance against Wlad but he would probably get outboxed.

    I think he'd shatter that glassjaw of wlad, and you have to bear in mind he had to fight 15 rounds vs wlad 12. If you take out the fouls, cooney would have won that fight at 12.

    Cooney would of broke out of Wlads clutch with ease before driving hooks thru his head.
    Look at Wlad when Sanders threw him off him when he attempted to hold. He just stood there clueless.
    There are plenty of guys who could muscle out of Wlad hold and because he had no inside game , he's left an open target to shots he cant take.

    You obviously bought the hype train. Grant was rather raw and had a lot flaws without a truly exceptional boxing tool (e.g. power, speed, or reflexes).

    And a better prospect than Ibeabuchi? No way.
