    People can hate on Wlad all they want but if you put him in the ring with any other heavyweight in the history of boxing he has the tools to win...

    let me be clear I'm not saying "WLAD WILL BEAT ANYONE EVER"

    I'm saying his size, skill, strength and ability makes him a very difficult match up for anyone. As far as if he would beat them? that's why they fight the fights...but I certainly wouldn't count him out...

    A fair post that can be said about almost any ATG. I don't think Bowe is greater than Wlad historically but I do think he could have beaten any heavyweight ever the night of the first Holyfield fight, including Wlad.

    Klitschko is always in shape and fights the best opponents in the division.

    Bowe, not always in shape, at times there seemed to be two different Bowes, the slick big man with a great jab and then the other that didn't seem like he spent any time training. Plus not fighting Lewis and Tyson reduces him too.

    You obviously lack reading comprehension. I said "almost". And Dempsey did beat a giant to win his title. So as usual your point is moot.

    that's the refs job counting wlad out, true.

    well it has been when he got destroyed by a retiree, a journeyman and the other no hoper.
