    I can't. Unless you look at every Wlad title defense. Take your pic.

    All these lists took you to school. You simply don't know boxing history and are looking like a one legged man in as ass kicking contest. And anytime you'd like to debate me about something, feel free. In fact why don't we debate your claim Leapai would beat 90% of Joe Louis opponents? How about how you think size is such a huge factor instead of comparing relative skill sets? Go!!

    If you list Burman's wins over guys like Ketchell, Risko, and Dorazio then you have to add some of Leapai's other wins besides Boystov. He has beat guys like Wilson, Beck, and Walker(some controversy there).

    So even if you want to put Burman ahead of Leapai thats fine but I don't see a big diffeence there. I see two guys at a similar level.

    As far as J H Lewis, I thought he had vision problems and may have even been going blind when he fought Lewis. If I'm wrong and Lewis was 100% healthy then that would change things.

    That still doesn't change much overall. Louis fought a number of guys at Leapai's level and a number worse than him.

    You do know Louis beat fighters bigger than Wlad..........actually you probably didn't know that.


    The consensus hardest puncher in the history of heavyweight boxing weighted 200lbs.

    His name is Earnie Shavers............look him up.

    He's coming up because he was the previous WBO #1 contender, and by beating him Leapai earned his shot. I mean "earned" his shot, obviously.

    Off top of my head I'd go with Paycheck, Musto,Roper, and McCoy. There's a few others I'd add to that list if I looked it up.

    No, I really don't. None of those wins represent wins over the top ten or men who had previously been in the top ten.

    Now the second is a slippery slope, but it's a better deal than the guys you mentioned.

    The main thing to concentrate upon here is Lewis's standing. He had just beaten Al Gainer (ranked) and a eight months before the Louis fight he had beaten Elmar Ray. Elmar Ray isn't just better than Boytsov. He's better than every fighter that Wladimir has ever fought, including those that beat him.

    Comparing Lewis to Leapai is ridiculous even if he was ****ing on fire when he came to the ring.

    Fighting a guy ranked #6 is vastly different to fighting a guy who is totally unranked.

    Pete Rademacher was an olympic gold medalist, he's quite above Leapai's level, get real.

    I tend to agree, though it's hard to be sure if Leapai might not be able to perform "walk him down" on Pete, not sure if his superiority stretches to 12 rounds.

    Lepei was Wlad's worst opponent to date. Mandatory or not, he had no business fighting for the title. I hope Wlad takes on Wilder, Pulev, or Fury his next fight.

    Wlad is an Hall of Famer, deal with it
