    No other heavyweight champion ran atop a car and tried to flying kick a would-be opponent. :lol:

    Holmes a G.

    Sadly both Price and Mitchell are already world class fighters. If they developed into special fighters that would certainly help Wlad. Other than that there isn't much here to argument about. As boring as I find him Wlad has a great run going and that will certainly help him to move up the list.

    Classic nostalgia ****.
    They already exclude anyone who is fighting after 1990 to becoming a top 10 ATG.


    And no I'm not a klittard if you've ever seen my earliest posts.

    LOL...

    What has Wlad done, besides getting KO'ed by three journeymen, that would warrant his entry into the top 10?

    Can't wait to hear your explanation...

    If he goes a few more years without losing he'll make a strong case for himself. I'm certainly no fan of his, but you have to look at the reality of things.

    What reality?

    Wlad has not done anything, nothing whatsoever, that would put him in the top 10 all time.

    Nothing.

    Are we supposed to believe that beating up on the likes of Ray Austin and Calvin Brock warrants entry into the top 10?

    Are we supposed to believe that getting brutally KTFO twice while in your prime warrants entry into the top 10?

    I don't think so...

    Whenever there are doubts as to how awesome Larry was, just watch his videos. Larry had all the tools.

    Holmes fought in an era that is even weaker than today's and still looked like a boring toolbag. I certainly don't see why we'd need another version of Holmes today. To make it more boring?
