    Wlad's in my top 30, and If I had to guess he may get into the top 20 before his career is over. I really dont think theirs anything he can do to get into the top 10 ATG list, he has 3 terrible losses and his resume is extremely poor for having over 50 fights under his belt, their is no ATG or soon to be Hall of Fame boxers he fought, so I dont see him being regarded that high when everything is all said and done.

    This may have been said already, but almost anybody who would be worthy of being a big-name opponent in the future would be rushed to the title fight for the money. Povetkin is an example there, a few more fights and he might be a wonderful foe for Wlad, but if he does it this fall we'll probably see him beaten down. Then less credit will be given, it's just an inexperienced opponent.

    He's around 25-30 for me, if he unifies the titles, beats say haye and pov and dim and a few other bums ill move him up to 20.

    I have him just above Chuck Wepner but below Primo Carnera.

    I'd say between 20 and 30 for me now, so I voted 25 to split the difference.

    Far back end of the top 25, probably in the 22 - 25 range.

    I knew you'd take the bait..................


    So, based on Bowe winning 2 out of 3 against Holyfield you rank him ahead of Wladimir all time? Seriously?

    Listen, we can debate all day about how talented Bowe really was but when considering legacy, all that matters is what they accomplished & Wladimir has done more & for a longer period of time.

    BTW, Bowe was kinda fat for the first Golota fight but he was at his best for the second match & it didn't matter one bit.

    Yes I would, he beat an ATG twice, in 92' Holyfield was in his Heavyweight prime in many peoples opinion, as was Bowe. He fought Golota in 96', by that time Bowe was anything but prime. He was slower, and just not all their mentally or physically, and yet he still managed to hang-on and not allow himself to be knocked out, as well as hurting and flooring Golota.

    When Wlad fights and beats a legendary great let me know, then I will rank him in my top 15, until then he will always stay outside it. Weak division, 3 TKO losses to Journymen, 2 of which were in his prime. I dont care if he has 52 wins or not, Ali would probably be undefeated if he fought in this lame ass era, even you may agree with me their.

    first of all always make the poll public, makes people vote seriously and own up to their stupidity!

    second Wlad does not have the resume nor the chin to be anywhere near top 10!and i`m taking top 20-25!

    if he actually looked good in beating these bums he may be higher, but as it is he doesn't so he aint.......
