    Wlad did not beat Povetkin. I watched boxing long enough to know that he should of been handed a DQ or NC. It was not boxing that night. You might as well argue Bowe has two legit wins against Golota

    Chambers is one of Wlads best wins:rofl

    Chamber went down to his natural weight division , got easily beaten and instantly came back up to the talent-less HW division where he started winning again.

    Dino's HW top 10 REVISED

    1. Tyson Fury
    -Fury's epic come from behind KO over aging former CW Champion Cunningham clearly established him as the HW King.

    2. Kubert Pulev
    -The most feared HW today and his inability to KO Travis Walker proves it, Wlad will clearly never ever fight him and if he does, he will clearly win by illegal means.

    3. Alexander Povetkin
    -Klitschko sucks so bad that a DQ win over him actually drops you down three spots in Dino's rating system. Previously the most feared HW today until Wlad fought him of course.

    4. Del Boy Chisora
    -Wlad ducked him to fight the vastly inferior David Haye who would KO Chisora. Won the event against Vitali. Fights like Joe Frazier.

    5-10: Anybody not named Wladimir Klitschko

    Its not enough for him to pick Bruno over Wlad head to head. Now he's asked me to compare resumes.

    That's easy enough.. Chris Byrd's career trumps anything that Bruno or his opponents did.

    Bruno clearly has the upper hand.

    Klitschko only fought three elite fighters his whole career in Purritty, Brewster, and Sanders and lost all three times. Nowhere in his 8 reign has he met an opponent of their ability, world class power, and guile. Every single fight was a set up, as we know Wlad controls all the sanctioning bodies and hand picks the worst possible opponents.

    Except Sultan, who secretly quit boxing before the Wlad fight due to the guilt of his Muslim faith. Dino has privalged information regarding this, I see no reason to doubt him. It was not the fear of Wlad's right hands that froze Sultan but the fear of God. Wlad clearly had an unfair advantage.

    Except Povetkin. So scared of Povetkin was Wlad that he secretly paid Atlas to say "Povetkin was not ready " and keep him from cashing in his mandatory title shot for 5 years. Povetkin didn't no show the press conference either, Wlad and his people gave him the wrong address. So humilated was Povetkin that he kicked a wall and injured himself, so Wlad could easily sub the shot to **** Rahman in his place, his plan all along. So scared of the aged Povetkin's bone crushing power that Wlad used illegal tactics like the left hook to bust up his face when they finally fought in Russia, a clear advantage for the beloved Ukranian.

    Thus the World according to Dino.

    :lol:

    Byrd won the vacant IBF belt from Holyfield who was getting beaten left, right and center. James Toney absolutey pummeled him to a stoppage in his next fight.
    There was no value winning that belt which Byrd deserved to lose to Golota two year before Wlad beat him to cal himself the champ. Embarrassing. HW boxing was dead in the water at that period.

    Bruno won the WBC belt. The most respectable of all HW belts against MaCall who had just ko'd authentic ATG lewis.
    All 3 fighters were all in their prime, unlike prime Wlad beating a small shot to **** non heavyweight who won his vacant belt from way past it Holyfied and should of lost it to ancient , worn out Golota.

    But you have stated you feel Holyfield deserved the win against Lewis in the rematch. Holyfield was robbed against Ruiz. So he was the true lineal going into the Byrd match.

    Therefore your lineage reads as Holyfield-Byrd-Golota-Brewster-Liakhovik-Briggs!(2x Lineal Baby!)-Sultan-Wlad-Povetkin #3 on your HW list. I guess in the wake of Fury's crushing victory over shot to **** CW Cunningham you no longer value the belts that much.

    Surely in the world according to Dino, the best HW fighters are the ones that have yet to fight to Wlad.

    If you lose against Wlad your a bum, if you win by DQ you drop down your ranking.

    But if you don't fight Wlad, it means you are feared, you are the best around, Dino is free to speculate on your potentional and that is far more valuable than actually testing yourself against Wlad. If you want to make it big on Dino's list, just don't fight Wlad!

    If Holyfied got the belts he would of fought Vitali so the lineal crown still would not of went in Wlads direction.

    Speculative Lineality..I like the ring of that.

    Holyfield keeps the belts, drops his IBF title and fights Vitali circa 2003. So Vitali wins the lineal crown but loses it to Lewis who retires.

    So Fury needs to fight Pulev to start a new lineage? Or was beating SS Cunningham enough?

    To even ponder this thread demeans Wlad. The man is 61-3 and unbeaten and untied for over a decade fighting the best the division has to offer. Bruno wouldn't see round 6.

    Not to mention nobody has yet to explain how a shorter man is going to beat Wlad by cautiously boxing him at range. Horrible stylistic disadvantage for Bruno. If the fight happened, Bruno would be another outclassed terrified opponent, guys like Dino would suddenly start crapping on after hyping up as a killer before the fight.
