    Kalambay was probably as good in-and-out boxer I've seen in terms of combining form and balance with speed. Of current boxers, I'd say Donaire alongside Mayweather.

    Hagler ranks deceptively high in this regard.

    Joe Louis had perfect balance, IMO, and no less than Eddie Futch said he had the fastest hands he had ever seen for a heavyweight.

    I respect his abilities, not how boring his average fight is.

    Charley Burley, even when hes dodging and moving back he is always ready and able to throw a punch, even when he makes a movement that shouldnt let hi keep his balance

    That's why Eddie Futch called him the finest ever, and Robinson called him p4p the best.

    Tell me where I ever said that, if I don't even compare Lewis to Roberto Duran (for example) why would I rank Wlad over him?
    Also on p4p lists I generally put all the hws a lot of spots behind "normal" lists, except for in their time small or medium hws, those include Patterson, Michael Spinks, Marciano.

    Wlad is for me together with Lewis/Louis/Holmes/Ali/Foreman: the men who in their time belonged to the biggest of the heavyweights so I don't consider their achievements p4p equal to (for example) Holyfield doing the same.


    Also you're a ******.
