Didnt go so great every time he stepped up. Wlad loss 1 gift 1 win vs Toney nearly taken out by McCline. What makes him so special?
I never thought he was special, All he has is power and even that's becoming over rated as he's stepped up his competition.. WHen was the last time he even had a KO??
I dont think any Heavyweight, including Wlad, is A level. The division sucks as a whole, Peter is still 2nd or 3rd best Heavyweight at the moment, so he must not be all that bad.
Just my opinion but Oleg's win's over Rahman and Sam are way more credible that Peter's over Toney and McCline.
Yeah, but you must remember, he only fought a couple times in between then and now, he was held up by the whole Maskaev and Vitali supposedly fighting, when that didnt go through, he just went fought Toney again in early 07 and had to wait even longer for his next fight because of Maskaev's injuries, 9 months I believe, when Oleg backed out again, and he decided to fight Mccline. We cant blame Peter entirely, he just hasnt been in the ring alot, over the last 2 years.
Wlads B+, Peter's a B-. There not that far apart when you look at everything, Wlads a decent amount physically better, but Peter's alot better mentally I think, and both men have comparable power.
