    If we compare Wlad-Leapai in history to the other hw title fights, how you rate it? Was it greater than Ali-Foreman or Morrison-Mercer, Lewis-Tua? What you think?

    Seen Lepai fight here in Aus many times. I was surprise he was fighting klitchko and not

    one bit surprise at the outcome. Lepai is alright but his chances was always slim.

    It wasn't the worst, Wlad/Mormeck was worse. Totally forgettable fight adds nothing to his legacy.

    Leapai barely landed a punch. I only counted 7 punches, none to the head and 2 were illegal shots to the back while in a clinch.

    Anyone that even rates that in history needs to be slain on spot.

    Bottom line is that the argument that the win over Boystov for Leapai directly before makes it acceptable... and in today's HW scene, unfortunately, that is somewhat correct.

    Ali-Coopman...was probably worse. Wlad and his manager Boente is constantly looking for nobodies to look good against....
    Disgusting...

    Mormeck was an ATG CW. That just shows you how strong Klitschko's title reign is when his 30th best win is over an ATG.

    Nonsense.
    Boystov never earnt his place at the top. He was placed there under very shady circumstances because Wlad wanted another eurobum with a zero.
    Helenius , Chisora and Fury were all ranked above Boystov and Leapai in the WBO rankings.
    It was a farce having those two as a final elimantor and you are in dreamland if you believe the WBO would of stripped Wlad of their belt.

    bad fight, hopefully Wlad fights Pulev, winner of Fury-Chisora and Stiverne/Arreola winner next, in that order

    Winner of Stiverne/Arreola is a no go for Wlad. Wilder is in line for that fight.

    He will have to step up and fight Pulev next. If he doesn't its a duck and he should be stripped.

    It was one of the bad ones but certainly not the worst. We've seen dozens of them in every single era in the HW division, even a couple of them recently.
    I actually can vaguely remember even Audley getting a shot at the WBA title not that long ago. And what's worse, not a single punch landed for 2 whole rounds. Then we had a shot to **** Rahman fighting for that same belt about a year later, seemingly having trouble to even walk trough the ring unsupported.

    Those were not legit world title fights. They were joke, paper strap fights.
