    WK may be a little faster but he can't really punch while moving. Buster could.

    That's a good question. Buster put on a great performance that night, showing a great jab, good power, and lots of movement. Wlad's performance was underwhelming, at best, against Sultan, a little guy with limited skills and not much in the way of power. I'd take Douglas in this, maybe by TKO.

    I don't think Buster would be able to pull it off. Wlad did not have to dig down deep in the Sultan fight to win so he didn't. If he was in danger of losing i'm sure we would have seen a better version of him.

    Buster showed serious heart that night, it reminded me a little of the time Lamon Brewster fought Wlad for the first time, all he had coming in that was better than Wlad was his heart and his chin, he took hard punches and hung in there, and ended up knocking Wlad out in the end.

    I feel Buster would of destroyed Wlad, we must remember Buster had freakish reach, which I think was something like 84 inches or something, which would help him get the jab in and set Wlad up for that huge righthand, Buster wins this one on pure heart, by early round knockout.

    How do you show heart in a two round fight? Or does "early round knockout" mean something else?

    Vlad is way too skilled to lose to Douglas. Remember, it was Don King who lost the fight to Douglas. Tyson did not train and went down hill for the rest of has career. I miss Tyson.

    The key phrase in the question is the Wlad that beat Ibragimov. You know, the one who was scared to throw a right hand....

    So you who are saying Buster would get KOed as soon as Wlad started to land it are making a somewhat irrelevnat point here.

    Take into account the heart and determination Buster showed that night, on that night he was superb. Plus his reach and jab, and big right hand. That version of Buster would KO that version of Wlad.

    No, Vlad would have KO'd Douglas. Tyson did not train and did not even have a corner. Remember what Holyfield did to him?

    Buster on that night beats a lot of world class heavyweights. Buster late stoppage or k.o

    im a wlad fan but on this fantasy match up, given the conditions, id pick buster. the buster who fought tyson was fluid, smart and busy. he was simply superb that night. and if he brings that same condition against the wlad that fought sultan, wlad will definitely be outpointed and outclassed..

    LOL @ Buster Douglas beating a 6 feet 6 inch 250lb heavyweight the way he beat a fat midget.

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    Not happening.

    Buster Douglas has been knocked the **** out by way lesser fighters than Wlad. He wouldn't make it 3 rounds.

    His last fight, the guy he fought was 8-49.

    Please stop hyping this hype job.
