    The Wach fight doesn't move Wlad a bit at this time. When and if he takes a top 10 spot he"ll be pushing Marciano out on my list.

    Jack Johnson. And Tyson is not the youngest undisputed champion ever.

    Youngest titlist. Youngest undisputed belongs to Floyd Patterson.

    Foreman was 42, Holmes was 43 and Buster Douglas was an alcohol addicted 285 lbs slob of lard by the time Holyfield faced him. Certainly not great achievements.

    He's 1 in 3 with Bowe, 1 in 2 with Lewis and 2 in 2 with a post-prison Tyson.

    Does Wlad kick him out of an ATG list? I think the jurys still out, but lets not act like if Holyfield's record was untouchable.

    I find it ridiculous that 'youngest champ' is supposed to give a fighter points towards an ATG ranking.

    What's next? Lightest HW champ? Heaviest HW champ? It's all a bunch of non-sense.

    Wlad will be in there when he retires.


    When you are watching the same fat, slow as hell heavys sluggin it out competitively for the belts, people will realise actually how good Wlad became.

    Foreman was old and slow, and still gave him a tough fight. Holmes was 10 years past his prime. Douglas is ****. Tyson was a good win, though it wasn't prime Tyson.

    24 rounds with Lennox as an accomplishment :lol:

    Exactly. Who cares if he was youngest champ. The good part of his career only lastes 4 years. I would have preferred if Tyson peaked a bit later and had a much longer prime, being able to accomplish more.

    Btw the youngest undisputed HW Champ is Patterson, a guy who would be crushed by Wlad.
