    I bet the punk has Pics of Wlad all in his bedroom. Wlad would have been killed if he would have faced top fighters like Lewis and Tyson. ALi and Holmes would have ripped WLad's paper skin up bad. WLad just does not have the chin to compete with all time greats. He if he did have the chin his skin would have let him down like Vitali's did when a fought Lewis. Lewis said Vitali's skin rips like wet toliet paper. Lewis said he never seen someone cut so easy.

    If there wasnt so many silly divisions and useless belts that list would be chopped down to about 3 guys

    This era is boring, frustrating and loaded with fatasses. It's not one of the worst ever (in terms of skills) but it's definitely one of the most tedious to follow.

    It's a boring era but one of the best in skill level.

    Wlad/Vitali would beat any heavyweight from any era besides Lewis.

    Super Heavyweights exists in boxing.

    'Cept its true. Sure nostalgiasts, all other sports grow and evolve and get better over time, but boxing is a special little flower that somehow is immune to the laws of progress. The only thing I can think of is the average boxing fan is significantly dumber than the average fan of other sports.

    anyone who thinks these unfit fatboys who last 4 rounds but can easily win a world title are the best is a nutter.

    anyone who watches these unfit fatboys gassing after 4 rounds and decides that these are better fighters than trim guys who lasted 15 at full pace isn't right in the head.


    things evolve, yes. boxers today evolve to fit the environment they box in today. but evolution doesn't mean the best today fit the environment that evolved the best in the past.

    Vlad would have knocked Frazier out easily, even Foreman knocked Frazier out easily and Foreman was slow.............Axel Schultz beat the Hell out of Foreman, but the criminal judges gave the decision to Foreman by split decision, a rematch was ordered by the IBF, so Foreman gave up his title rather than fight Schultz in a rematch. Vlad was the very first to knock Schultz out, something Foreman could not even come close to doing.

    American boxing media cuts down all Eastern European fighters, Golovkin, Klitchkos, Lomochenko, Kovalev, yet they beat up American's heros. Amricans are claiming that Wilder is the greatest heavyweight of all time, faster than Ali, hits harder than Foreman, chin superior to Chuvalo, better defense than Mayweather, perfect balance, show me the proof of that! Wilder refused to fight Chisora, Thompson, Fury, after Chisora knocked out Scott Wilder chose him. Scott is not ranked by WBC, punches like a featherweight, not hard to hit, yet Jennings was ranked #4 WBC and Wilder refused to fight him. If Wilder is the greatest heavyweight of all time, then why won't he fight a ranked fighter, I mean a real ranked fighter?

    I think some fighters of recent vintage could redefine previous eras if time travel was possible e.g. I think if Clay/ Ali had been taking punches from Corrie Sanders instead of Karl Mildenbarger or Henry Cooper, his career would look a bit different. Just watch the Mildenbarge fight and Cooper fight and you might see what I mean, if the rose colored glasses don't blind you.

    You could be correct. Most boxing fans never participated in the sport and they have a tendency to focus too much on the "win loss" record without considering the total circumstances.
