    Nonsense.

    Regarding Purrity, Wlad had fought 12 fights within the past 12 months.

    Brewster was 34 and only had 37 fights so he wasn't old. Wlad is the first to stop Brewster.

    Puritty >>>> Wlad

    1) He stopped him fair & square when everything was against him.

    2) He lasted 12 vs Sanders without even getting close 2 going down as opposed 2 Wlad's inability 2 last 2 rds .

    3) He was older , smaller and got a far lesser care & training which make d above 2 even more relevant even on a p4p scale .

    Also, when Wlad stopped Brewster due 2 puffiness around his eyes it was due 2 Brewster being pulled out of recovery from a detached retina surgery. Brewster was well done by then .

    Wladimir's 2 best opponents (except from those whom destroyed him) considering conditions during fait taim wer McCline & Haye .
    Aside from them d opponents whom he beat wer krap .
    Given Wladimir's care & training Puritty might have equaled Wlad's pathetic wins , even if he did not , his win over Wlad combined with d 3 big reasons I gave in my previous post r ol det i nid .

    Puritty would also not have had Wlad's 3 defeats I can assure u.

    I like you opinions whether I agree with them or not.

    However, how and/or why was Grant a "supreme" athlete? Because he was tall and had nice pecs? Because he was a junior college football player?

    Lennox Lewis was the dominating force in a professional sport at the highest level for most of a decade That to me has the scent of supreme.

    Wlad never gasses again, cos he just paws with the jab, and throws like 5 right hands a round and clinches all the time to wear his opponents out. His stamina hasn't improved, he's just found a way to hide it better.

    Grant was near knocked out of the ring by Golota in the first round. Golota shut Grant out before he decided to tap out and go home.
    Grant was a bum and most poeple knew it.
    Lewis gave up his belt so he could fight Grant and avoid Ruiz. Lewis wanted nothing to do with Ruiz after he watched him put Holyfield on his back.
    He went gave up his title to fight a basketball player.
    Another reason why Lewis don't make the top 10.
    Sorry Seamus , your boy just got cut.

    You should write books.

    Enid Blyton would be a good reference point for you to start.

    Ruiz was inextricably linked to Don King. What part of Lennox Lewis would rather eat his own legs than deal with subhuman scum like King, are you having trouble understanding?

    Lewis was not some half witted Yank that would be impressed by King waving a sports bag full of cash in front of his face, and then getting him to sign his life away.

    Lewis' "victory" over Grant was 1 big foul.
    McCline & Guinn did stop him fair & square dow.

    Aside from stopping Golotta he also stopped Corey Sanders, Tye Fields, Al Cole, Jorge Luis Gonzalez, David Izon & Obed Sullivan & went 10 vs Ross Puritty & Lou Savaresse so Grant was good.

    not top 25 OAT , bat der wer contenders wum got e taitel shot 4 mach les.

    The most entertaining of all quack opinions espoused by Mr. Velvet. The Great Lewis Duck of Ruiz. It's so outlandishly brilliant in its imbecility that I am momentarily jealous of its originator.
