I think Wlad will retire before 2016 He'll pick up the last belt and call it quites, he's cited in interviews the he wants to start a family
Wins without breaking a sweat, what is there to appreciate? hardly takes a punch, these are not fights... It is not that Wlad is so good, it is more that the division is so weak. In the 90s Holyfield, Moorer, Tyson,prime Mercier,morrison, Lewis would have provided Wlad with a real fight
Vladimir Klitschko is, by far, the best heavyweight in the world today and he would have beaten the fighters from the other era................
I would have favoured Lewis, Holmes and Bowe over Wlad though.Also,Holyfiedl might have eked out a decision
Light-heavyweight Michael Spinks beat Holmes, Renaldo Snipes put him on the canvas and almost had him out. Tex Cobb easily went the distance with him. At Vlad's prime he would have knocked Lewis out, he has more talent than Lewis, according to Steward.............Lewis was club footed, Lewis was knocked out cold by an over-the-hill Rahman and McCall, not to mention the very small and sick Mavrovich beating the crap out of Lewis, Mercer beat the crap out of Lewis..............................Vlad can fight on for another 10 years is he wants...........
Wlad as knocked out by Sanders , Brewster and puritty so what is your point fanboy?We are talking prime versions - Holmes takes this guy it deep waters and beats him.Holmes is much more talented than Wlad.Wlad is still kind of robotic. - Out of shape Lewis already beat up Vitali who is the tougher of the brothers-so there you go - Bowe would knock Wlad out- He would nullify Wlad's jab with is own Jab.he is a lot tougher than Wlad and has a better chin. - Holyfield might outbox Wlad to win a close decision
Wlad will stick around for a while and continue to **** off the likes of Derrick and Dinovelvet :thumbsup
Lewis was knocked out cold by an over-the-hill Rahman..................McCall TKO'd Lewis early, had him out on his feet.................did Lewis have a bad chin? Joe Louis was knocked out, did he have a bad chin? Ali was stopped, did he have a bad chin, Holmes was knocked out, did he have a bad chin? Spinks was knocked out, did he have a bad chin? Leonard was knocked out, Hearns, ad infinitum..............
This right there pretty much proves the sad state of the Heavyweight division when Thompson, who already had two title shots and lost badly twice, is still making it at the top of the ranking list even six years later.
The super heavyweight division in the amatuers is the strongest and most competitive that it might have ever been currently you have Medzhidov, Dychko, Cammerelle, Pfeifer, Omarov, Filip Hrgović, Yoandi Toicac and Joshua has recently turned pro. Can you name any other time in history where the amateur super heavyweight division was that strong and competitive? in the heavyweight division in recent times you have had Usyk, Beterbiev, Levit and Savon, Russo and Tishchenko
