Oleg Maskaev in his prime was barely able to survive the 90's but top 3 at age 38

What would be the point of that?

 

Oleg was a good fighter, not durable though...

 

Best I can tell, Im the only clitoris licker in this thread.

And there's no denying the greatness of Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield or 46 y/o George Foreman.

However.........each decade has a select group of about 5 guys who could compete in any era. Some are remembered as greats, other forgotten due to short lived fame.

No one will ever deny the above guys as ATGs. Probably top 100 for eternity.

But right next to all their names, along with the likes of Marciano, Louis, Schmeling, Ali, Holmes, Dempsey, etc etc etc......the names of Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko, and David Haye(if he ever gets off his ass and fights) will be placed within those names.

Some will argue for them to be ranked higher. Other will say lower.

But only haterz and ***gots will refuse to admit their greatness.

So go head and hate. Or get busy eating ass.

Im gon lick some clits. And watch me some boxing. Im gon enjoy the dominant beasts of this era, just like I enjoyed the dominant beasts of the bygone eras.:thumbsup

 

The man that koed vitali

 

Haye? Really?

 

Im saying Haye has potential to become a top 50 ATG. Heck, some already have him in the top 30.

He's beaten two top 50s already, although neither was prime, but they were elite HWs and HOFers. Valuev and Ruiz.

And if Haye were to just fight 2X/yr for 5 yrs, he'd be a HWC again. Wlad is gone after 2-3 more yrs. Haye is 6 yrs his junior.
Haye would lose some fights if he took another 18 before he settled in, but he'd win at least 15 of em, and the wins would all be over top guys like Potvetkin, Arreola, Price, Fury, Mitchell, Wach, Adamek etc. Hell, if he just added those 7 to his resume, he'd be top 20 right now.:thumbsup

 

I don't doubt that he had the potential to achieve some great things, like a lot of fighters, but the fact is at age 31 he hasn't really done much of anything to rank him among those greats. And his type of style really doesn't lend itself to fighting into the late thirties, not to mention his obvious apathy with the sport already. I think we've seen the best he has to offer already.

 

Rahman was Heavweight Champion in the 90's Maskaev knocked him out.

Rahman was Heavyweight Champion in the 00's Maskaev knocked him out. Thats how Oleg won his belt.

Nothing changed.
