    no its not, Douglas was much better than Purrity, much better than Sanders and better than Lamon too!!! Dude was a legit contender for years. He would have iced all 3 of the guys Wlad got brutalized by. You're clearly a younging who wasn't around back then to know this.

    **** outa here with that nonsense. When was the last time Wlad blitzed anyone!!! Wlad blitzes no one in 1 round. He took 4 rounds to take out a shot to **** cruiserweight in Mormeck and didn't even KO a weak chinned cruiser in Haye. He fights like a ***** despite having the ability to ice anyone with one solid shot. It's pathetic to watch. Wlad doesn't even KO hopeless journeymen in 1 or 2 rounds let alone unified champs, legit contenders, former champs like Tyson did. Wlad would jab jab hug all of those "cans" for 10 rounds until they were ready to go from a finger flick before he risked leaving his glass jaw open by throwing the harpoon right to end things. Tyson from 88 would have KO1 or KO2 over 95% of Wlads resume! Wlad would be lucky to score 3 vs Tysons resume. Some of the guys Tyson waxed with ease were big punchers and better fighters than Purrity/Sanders/Brewster and would have a serious shot of upsetting Wlad if they connect on that glass jaw.

    1. That beat holmes, cooney ect. And wlad has haye. Double standards

    2. Holmes had trained for months to face tyson and had a 15 round exibition macth inbetween the 18 months of spinks and tyson. And went on to do good things after tyson and never get knocked out again, but because tyson handled him in such a way it, for some reason works against him as does spinks.
    But no tyson really was that good!
    Haye doest fight for a year at a time so wlad took on a haye with no warm up fight.

    3. If you think this you clearly know **** all i dont even have to explain.

    I thought he was slick as hell, I'm also not sure why he gets labeled a brawler.

    Its because he made himself into a face first brawler as soon as he sacked Rooney

    Tyson achieved greatness before prison.

    He secured his atg status with his comeback after prison.

    Michael Spinks was leagues better than Haye, even as a Heavyweight.
