    Possibly Holmes but i can't for the life of me see Wlad beating him either. Holmes has too much dog in him at the end of the day, remembering that the term seems to mean the opposite nowadays to decades ago.

    Holmes would be my favourite of the three to beat Wlad, but I'd still make Wlad favourite.

    Probably Lennox because even on his best days he can be a little inconsistent. Id favor Lennox to win the fight, but Wlad would have a good shot at catching Lennox cold with a big shot.

    Wald was not as rugged as Vitaly and he Vitaly was roughed up by Lewis and stopped even though it was cuts he was starting to get beat up by Lewis.

    He has a chance against all of them. I would make Lennox the slight favorite over Wlad. Against Holmes it’s about 50/50. And as for Usyk I seem to be the only one who thinks Wlad beats him

    To be honest I think all three are pretty similar strong favorites over Wlad. I don't think he is in the absolute elite tier of ATG Heavyweights H2H.

    All good, I don't like him over any of them.

    Absolutely. You haven't tried to drag down the others with disingenuous and biased rot or anything, you just have a high opinion of Wlad. I can't hate on that.

    Vitali hit Lewis a lot during the first 2 rounds before Lennox started to "ruff him up". If Wlad hits Lewis like this it may be a night night. Wlad also was a better clincher.
