ugh this is getting rediculous with him just completely dominating everyone. hopefully ibragimovs for real about being the linear champion and challenging wlad somewhere down the line hopefully he will be as good as i think he is and really give wlad a test. otherwise it just seems like there is noone out there who can beat him. i would like to see nikolai valuev and him fight tho just to see how wlad handles not having a reach or size advantage on an opponent which i have never seen him not have on an opponent.
He can certainly be caught by any of the decent contenders and KO'ed. But he is the massive favorite over any of them. If he fights smart (and probably a little boring) he goes undefeated for the next 3 years. - Jason
I know that Peter got more or less taken to school by Wlad when they fought the first time. But it looked like he has learned a thing or two since then, and looked very good in the Toney rematch. I still think that would be Wlad's toughest challenge, considering that there are not too many other fighters of that caliber in the division. The person who might beat Wlad is someone who clearly has the ability to put him down with one shot. Briggs is out as the person to do that, and I can't think of any others besides Peter.
Good thing you weren't around when Joe Louis was on top! Wlad's only won seven in a row, and I seem to recall him going down repeatedly in one of those fights. Granted he's the dominant guy right now and will probably establish himself as the new linear champ, but you're really jumping the gun(and not appropriately weighing the way Corrie Sanders annihilated him and Brewster stopped him just 3-4 years ago) if you think he's invincible.
