    Since 2006, Wlad has made 10 successful defenses of the title. I think that, at heavyweight, only Louis, Ali, Tommy Burns and Larry Holmes have more.

    The most significant were against Ibragimov, Chagaev and Haye.

    But which was his most entertaining title defense?

    Probably Brock... the Boxing Banker landed some ok shots before he got put to sleep

    Thompson also did ok

    the best fight i can recall was vw Thompson. TT pressed it, had a few moments, and forced wlad to stop him late. don't know about the iggy fight being all that 'significant' in any sense of the word (that guy was about as ordinary as a title holder could ever be). The Haye fight was a horrible fight to watch (tho i guess the win has some significance b/c haye has looked a decent contender in his very few other hw fights -at times). only saw clips of the chagaev fight-- looked like another Jabathon into submission from what i can recall.

    Yea. I called those fights "significant" because they were unifications.

    Vitali is man enough to fight in any given match...Wlad, on the other hand, is still scared to fight even against a cautious natural CW Haye..Wlad? Entertaining?:rofl
