    No he wasn't you clown, certainly not in terms of durability. He was a glass jawed journeyman with 18 stoppage defeats in 25 losses. :patsch

    Wlad would have a similar record if he was around back then , never mind Marius Wach.

    Nice attempt at trolling, but your use of the words CHAMPION and mediocre bring clear focus on your agenda.

    First. You use the word CHAMPION when describing Stiverne who had won an interim title and later, full title from a very mediocre, but fully shopworn Arreola.

    Potvetkin won his WBA minor title from a solid, not shopworn former titlist in Chagaev.
    You use the word MEDIOCRE to describe the very best HW CHampion of the past 2 generation, who was previously a solid titlist in the previous 2 eras.
    96-2000, Wlad was a solid titlist.
    2001-2005, again, solid titlist.
    2006-2010, dominant Champion
    2011-2015, dominant Champion
    2016-? solid, shopworn contender????

    Fact is, Wlad doesnt have a mediocre win on his resume. The way he put down former titlists like Shultz, Botha, Byrd, Haye, etc......Nothing suggests mediocrity.

    Also, the use of the word ROBOTIC. Potvetkin is anything but robotic.
    That word would better describe Wach, even Wladimir or Vitali, but Potvetkin is very fluid in his movement and has excellent footwork from the outside and mixes up the speed and power on his shots in and out.

    Right now, should Wilder choose to keep his title and make the fight with Potvektin, I'd give Wilder a 40% chance of beating Potvetkin, and that's just due to his length and speed, being able to stay outside Potvetkins range and keeping his honest coming in with his flicking hard jabs and slapping L hooks.

    But, if Potvetkin gets inside and keeps his hands free, he'll KHTFO, and it wont be pretty for Wilder. :hi::hi::hi:

    the use of the word "robotic" is just a code word to slur white ee's.

    Wach was swallowing shots from both men like it was going out of style.

    Now, to attempt to justify his argument, Dino will claim both Wlad and Pov are featherfisted, and that Danny Jaco would have destroyed a prime Larry Holmes, and that Jaco should be in the HOF. :lol::lol::lol:

    Takam gave him a pretty good fight, and I'm not sure he's as good as people think. His best win was Tony Thompson, who even Malik Scott handled and is basically just a stationary bag at this stage of his career.

    As for Perez, his best showings may have been the draw with Takam and his war with Jennings. But after Jennings got handled by Ortiz with relative ease, how much was that?

    Those were good showings, but how good Takam and Perez actually are is up for debate.
