    Is that so? I don't buy it. :nono

    The Heavys have Wlad, Vitali, Chagaev, Valuev, Povetkin, Haye, Arreola, Toney, etc. Plenty of good depth in the division at the moment.

    Yeah... the 38 year old, injury riddled brother who has only fought once in the last 5 years.... and looked like he was stuck in mud. Much harder task than the 32 year old, in his prime brother who has been disposing of all top contenders for the last 4 1/2 years.

    But Wlad has a dodgy jaw and can get lucky punched, but Vitali is un-ko-able

    That's debatable. Very debatable.

    Get a grip mr Maker.......Wlad always has you to call him the best of all time.Still if he doesn't fight Povetkin after Arreola it's ridicolous.Not that fighting Arreola itself isn't.

    ANYTHING at cruiser = NOTHING at HeavyWeight....please try to remember that. Cruisers have been a joke since Holyfield left.

    Of course a member of the "hate squad" would call a title defense against an undefeated top ranked contender "ridiculous".... you wouldn't be a hater if you didn't... it is what makes you who you are.

    I never stated that Wlad was the best of all time. I have actually clearly stated that it doesn't even make sense to place him anywhere on any ATG list until his career is finished.

    I don't think that either of those are true. First of all... Wlad hasn't shown to have a dodgy jaw. Second, every fighter can be stopped... especially when they have only fought once in 5 years, are 38 years old, and had two rather recent surgeries.

    I'm glad Arreola is getting his shot. I think he'll put up a much better fight than expected.

    I was going to come into this thread and say that it was not a disgrace that Wlad is fighting Arreloa and it is not, it is a perfectly good fight.

    But to say Wlad hasn't shown a dodgy jaw is ridiculous.

    I would imagine the guy ment KO'd from a punch rather than stopped on an injury.

    I don't believe so. Obviously you don't either, or you wouldn't spend so much time talking about it. It's too easy to read your hand... just like every other hater. When people are REALLY dismissive of a topic, and think that a fighter sucks, or a division sucks... they simply don't discuss it. When they actually DON'T believe that, yet they have an agenda and have hate for a fighter, and he is at the top of a division... they spend a lot of time trying to convince everyone that the fighters sucks... since he is the best in the world, they have to then say that the entire world sucks too... it's pathetic. You guys claim that all of the boxers above 200 pounds in the entire world suck.:rofl You haters are just hilarious.

    Say what you want,altough I don't like Wlad as much as his brother I don't hate him.To argue the division is not a joke is pretty ignorant to me but whatever.And it's not hilarious,it's sad.

    You can think the division sucks and still talk about it. It just sucks relative to other better divisions or periods.
    Example: Ice cream is good. Compared to Ice Cream, vegetables suck. Doesn't mean I don't eat my vegetables. I eat them, I just don't enjoy them as much as my delicious ice cream.
