    Imo prime wlad (04 - present) only loses to big guys who can outgun him or guys who can get on the inside and hook him.

    The great ali couldn't time joe on his way in and that left hook finishes wlad's night.

    That's what the TS is posting about!:patschStupid comments like this.
    Yea, Frazier got on the inside against Ali only because Ali didn't have the power. How well did Frazier do at geting on the inside against Foreman?

    Yes people do take it too far however the highlighted bit could happen. Pacquiao stopped Hatton, Prescott stopped Khan, Donaire - Montiel.

    Oh i agree these things COULD happen, but also Wlad might do what douglas did or Calzaghe may have put on one of his best performances and took RJJ to scorecards ect

    You will obviously get different opinions. You'll get people saying RJJ destroys Calzaghe then you'll get people saying calzaghe wins.
    To be fair when people predict these mythical match-ups they usually think of that person in their prime. When you think of prime Tyson you think of the beast who would destroy people in 1 round not Tyson going 12 with some guy nobody's heard of.

    They normally only think of the fighter they backing in their prime tho thats problem i find, example people will mention Tyson KO ppl in 1 round and then mention Wlads Ko losses as proof of why it will happen. So one mans best moments vs another mans worst.

    it happens. Because after time you do not put the worst fight a guy had as your memory of a great, you remember his best and figure that is the guy you want matched with the recent guys. If we could match past greats with other past greats we might be very surprised at some results.

    I know you're not being serious when you compare wlad and foreman stylistically.
