    Wlad - Calvin Brock
    Wlad - Lamon Brewster

    Potentially dangerous fights against guys with the power to knock Wlad out, but he negotiated both without major incident. He should be universally recognised and championed as a best heavyweight in the world bringing some status back to the heavyweight division.

    Perhaps his 'safety first' style is putting people off.

    And the promoters are probably still worried that he's just one punch away from the next huge knockout loss. It's still difficult to believe in Wlad and forget those losses to Sanders and Brewster (not to mention Purrity).

    Perhaps a convincing second win over Sam Peter would convince the world that Wlad is here to stay.

    I agree, there seems to be a double standard in judging Mayweather's preformance in his last few fights.

    I know this post won't get alot of replies but the number one win that doesn't get the credit it deserves is Hopkins over Tarver.

    Hopkins is a career 160lber who moved up 15lbs and two divisions absolutely demolish the Ring Magazine champ.

    Tarver's previous 7 fights were
    Eric Harding TKO5
    Montell Griffin UD12 120-106 on all cards
    Roy Jones Jr loss by MD
    Roy Jones Jr TKO2
    Glen Johnson loss by SD
    Glen Johnson UD
    Roy Jones Jr UD

    I mean Hopkins catches alot of flak for beating a top p4p guy who made his career 6 pounds below where BHop made his, and he gets little to no credit for moving up 15lbs and completely dominating the Ring Magazine champ (at the time Tarver was in most top10 p4p lists as well)

    :blabla This is all I've been hearing about since I began reading this forum in earnest, 6 months ago. One would believe this was bigger than the Battle of Britain or the invasion of Normandy.
