    I voted Ali, but I wouldn't mind a fight with Ali, Tyson, and Lewis.

    Ike is not ATG, moreover that fight still could happen. David Tua dito.

    Earnie Shavers has TKOed only 7 non-bums in his whole career. His whole record is bummed up (Eric Esch Effect). You shouldn't put him on the same list as Mike Tyson or Ibeabuchi.

    W-L records can be misleading. Having a really good W-L record doesn't mean you're that good and having a not so great W-L record doesn't make you a bum.

    Look at Brian Nielsen. Then look at Arnold Cream and Ezzard Charles.

    Actually Vitali's face looks pretty good, while Lewis nose still looks slanting.

    Exactly. Although that doesn't make Wlad greater like some people will spin the comment.

    Joe Louis to me is the greatest HW of all time accomplishment wise. But Wlad would literally crush him.

    I did. Nielsen has a bad record. I started actually a thread about records:
    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72362
    and Nielson's record is not good.

    Ezzard Charles is a cruiser. He fought ONLY 2 TIMES in his career against a non-bum 200+ (while himself being 170+). Not exactly a good example for this thread.

    I also did in that thread. Terrible record. 6'0'' guy, started 160+. Why do you want to compare his record with today's heavies?

    ...this is a little odd. Louis had a world class shoulder roll and never, ever struggled to close the distance against any fighter.

    He is also, along with Tyson, the greatest composite puncher to ever fight at the weight. So your prediction may be a little off.

    Wow, Bruno-Klitschko would be a really good fight, I think.
