    Dude has insane footspeed, handspeed, power, technique -- all that mixed with formidable size.

    Can't think of a more naturally talented HW.

    Started boxing at 15 to hang out with big bro and won a gold at the Olympics 5 years later, very impressive.

    Tyson is a good pick but I have Wlad ahead due to just how long his physical prime continues.

    Tyson burned bright physically but for a very short time, even with proper training I don't think he could have been the same.

    You're telling me Foreman is more naturally athletic than Wlad?

    And I'm the one "trolling"?

    Foreman most certainly isn't.

    you can make a case for Ali and Tyson, but that's about it.

    Patterson and Dempsey aren't real HW's....you might as well mention LHW Roy Jones.

    Ali and Tyson, straight up.

    Very good power, but Ive never heard anyone fawn over Wlad's speed, and his workrate? lol...

    Lucky for Wlad that he's boxing in the weakest HW division ever! Lennox was way better on everything!
