    :lol: Lets start
    Mercer was very good fighter but was totally shot when he faced Wlad!!
    Haye talented but did not do **** in heavyweight division(Valuev, shot Ruiz shot Monte Audley:lol:)
    Peter strong good but very limited fighter but far from anything special, good win.
    Rahman fought Wlad in 2008 he wasnt even close to his prime.
    Chambers i dont know everyone are high on him but to me he is very overrated fighter, could not beat Povetkin.
    Chagaev for me one of the bset wins.
    Ibragimov please dont mention one of the worst fights ever.
    As i wrote he is ATG but he did not have great opponents.

    He's been the number 1 for over 6 years now. I have him in my top 15. Anyone serious about boxing history won't have him too far behind that.

    For me an ATG is one who's greatness transcends time. One who can his own career against the original greats and match it or better.

    the barsetter in the HW division was John L Sullivan. anyone knowing their HW's will class him as a great. Has Wlad matched or eclipsed his career? I'd say yes, yes he has.

    Ok, fair enough.


    LOL. Wlad has feasted on W E A K opposition for the whole of his career. Please name one, just one, decent HW he's beaten? You CAN'T.


    LOL. Cleaned out the divsion? Really? Arreola. Povetkin. Charr. Chisora. Adamek. Oh, and lets not forget Klit the Older.


    LOL. Wlad is the HW co-regent along with his brother. IOW, Wlad rules NOTHING.


    You forgot to mention the glass chin, lack of infighting ability, timidity and lack of heart. Sounds like the recipe for destruction, IMO...

    Wlad will never 'beat somebody of the same standing' to quote from the O.P because he is so good that there isn't anyone of his level.

    Just because 'greats' from the past struggled against their contemporaries does not make them ATGs. Take Ali for instance, if he had been winning all his fights convincingly, would have been a stronger indicator of greatness, than his struggling with fighters of the calibre of Henry Cooper.

    Fighters that Wlad dominates would have been ATGs if they'd have fought in bygone eras. Not many of the ATGs from the past would have been able to beat Ibragimov and Haye for example.

    LOL.

    Ali didn't struggle with Henry Cooper, Genius. In his prime, Ali was as near to unbeatable as you could get.

    Wlad can beat another 20 smaller mediocre fighters, its not going to make him any better. Manny knew what his limits were and thats why he was kept away from Chorisa twice.
    Dominance by way of default.

    I was replying to a post where he had said Wlad had never beaten a DECENT heavyweight notice I cunningly used capitals to highlight DECENT nowhere in my post did I suggest any of those fighters were anything but DECENT so what was your point in replying to my post exactly?
