    I can't believe this bull****, Louis was great, what the **** is klit? He''s just one of four belt holders. He struggles against everyone since loss to sanders.

    Who's talking about James Toney? If you think Louis hit as hard as Sanders or Brewster or Peter, I think you better think again. Even if he really did, there is no basis for claiming it though. His power was tested only against a couple of guys above 200lbs.

    20 guys is not a couple...joe was 20-0 against the HEAVY guys...only 2 of whom managed to last the distance with him (as well as being the only 2 to last double didget rds) with him? 7 guys above 230 none who lasted the distance...and even at a 60 lb disadvantage has KO's?? joe by brutal destruction!

    Again, why does Louis' ATG status give him the ability to defeat a modern giant?

    C'mon now Pud, you know better than that. Louis towered over Conn & Wlad towers over Louis. Conn would be staring at Wlad's beltline...............

    You can dream if you want to, just don't bet the house on it or you'll end up homeless.

    Ignoramus! Klitschko struggled against Austin? What about Byrd? Brock maybe?

    exactly. wlad is'nt some oversized bum, he actually is skilled in fighting tall. louis would be hard pressed figuring out how to solve that ramrod jab alone. i'd like to hear how he gets past it from the people who voted for him.

    Joe has attributes that all of the guys that beat Vlad did not have.

    Sanders- No Jab, No Stamina, no punch variety, no infighting skill,
    Sanders was 225 versus Vlad. If he were the same bodyfat level as Louis he would be the same weight.

    Brewster- Power, heart, chin and little else. Brewster was a 200 pound amateur. He is a fat heavyweight. He would be 205-210 if he cared about performance and how he looks.

    Purrity- No need to go there.

    Vlad was not beaten by huge power punching heavies. He was beaten by fat and limited cruisers. David Haye is naturally bigger than Brewster and Sanders.
