    How many of these 40 year olds have won any big fight recently or picked up a belt? only their name keeps them there, like Rahman, Holyfield etc before them.

    povetkin- wlad hugged to a UD. AJ blasted him. Hunter fought a fair fight to a draw. Whyte is gonna spark him.

    pulev- sat on mando an step aside money for years.

    oh and Klitschko lost to two guys on there. One out skilled him. One out gunned him.

    Vitlai always tested clean as a pro.

    How old is Pulev? 39. Arreola in his prime would have a good chance. Hard to call. 50/50

    Wlad fought many big men? Your ignorant To list a few, McCline, Jefferson, Wach, Thompson, and Austin, all of who were at least 6'5" tall.

    Valuev won his fights. Hunter is lucky to be ranked, even by today's standard and would be too small.

    I was never a Haye fan. He did beat John Ruiz, Valuev and Chisora. Who has Whyte beaten again? I said 50/50 here

    You don't know what your talking about, but I have a question for you.

    Do you think 2020 is equal to the 1970's or 1990's

    Who was 40 and hanging around in 2010? No less than 3 men are 39 or older ranked today. That has to be a record a heavyweight!

    I believe the 90s was the best. Sue me. Then the 70s. We still have 2-5 years of this era to go based on current champions and contenders ages.

    it has a chance to compete with these great eras. AJ v Fury will be the biggest fight in the world. Sorry.

    You get it. Eggman is here for humor I think and Doublechin is a hater, but I like using his words as he thinks Adamek was too old at age 34, which means no one Wilder every beat in the top ten was in his prime.

    Or this era can be compares to the 1970's or 1990's .

    You spoke some reason, but AJ vs Fury will not make 2020 anywhere close to the 1990's or 1970's. I don't see the fight happening.

    Anyone think it’s more dirty and devious to use drugs against amateurs to inflict damage?

    See. This. This is frustrating. You don’t like the fact that fury v aj will eclipse any fight of wlad or vitali, so you say ‘it won’t happen’.

    Holyfield was still getting title shots at 48 years of age. He very nearly won that fight against Valeuv who was one of the top guys in the K-era. :smile:

    Most probably don't remember when Wlad twice defended his titles on Eurosport. The richest prize in sport reduced to Eurosport. :confundio1:
    The contenders today are too big for Eurosport , never mind the Champions!

    Its inconceivable to imagine a HW fight on EuroSport in this day and age.

    Who's sobbing and crying? Aren't we just discussing Byrd/Vit relevance here? You're determined to call Vit a quitter because of an injury, and now trying to make it like there's sobbing and crying in this, over a difference of opinion. Chill out dude....

    See? You can't be honest or genuine about Vitali. Are you just some mindless hater who can't see when an injury is legit? Is that your game here, to be some naysaying hater??

    Probably the weakest of Wlad 19-20 title defenses. It was a blow out. I've seen guy on his level go many rounds with Wilder. That's the funny part.

    I see two guys Wlad beat six years ago that are still ranked today ( Povetkin and Pulev ) and another he easily dispatched in Pinaeta who went the distance with Fury not so long ago.

    Washed up old men beaten convincingly by Wlad 6+ years ago, ranked today? Yep. It's rather funny if you think about it.

    Povetkin and Pulev were good on their prime. That was then. This is now.
