16-3.

 

1990-96

once he steps up above a retired 37 year old, its KO in 2.

 

17-2
He loses to 37-0 Tyson, pre Douglas.
And loses to 24-1 Lewis.

Essentially, the very first title fight of that period, and very last title fight of that period.

Not bad, losing to 2 fellow ATG, Lewis being the GOAT, and the prime, preDouglas Tyson who was tipped to be the GOAT before that loss.

No version of Holyfield, Bowe, Foreman, or Holmes beats current Wlad.

So, essentially, he'd have wins over 3 top 15 ATGs, losses to 2, and another 2 wins over top 50 ATGs at HW in Bowe and Moorer.

Not bad, but I don't think it would elevate him historically.

Considering this thread is a little over a year old, and Wlad has made 2 more defenses since.....it wouldn't put Wlad above top 5 ATG by adding 40+ y/o Holmes and Foreman, one dimensional punch bag Bowe, and tiny HWs in Moorer and Holyfield.

Losing to Tyson and Lewis wouldnt drop him below top 5, considering he'd sweep the board aside from those 2.

 

All this and he still has a glass jaw so the critics would sayatsch

 

LMAO, so this era is weaker based on fantasy boxing?

Everything evolves over time, boxing is no exception.

Also, Klitschkos have never lost on points, so anyone saying they lose to a certain fighter by decision are delusional.

 

why, have they beaten anyone really good on points, or at all?

the delusion is yours to pretend their wins equate to beating anyonein history.

 

Yeah but probably no boxer in history could go through that lot without losing. Not like anyone in that era dtayed lineal champ without being beaten. Is this era eeaker yes but he has still dominated it.

 

wald has proved outstanding longevity, trumping lewis and Louis.

 

enough with the fantasies....who did he beat during his reign that makes him so great?

 

He didn't get the belt from Chagaev (though he should have)....he got it from Haye.

 

Well done to wlad for being champion of the worst heavyweight division in history

 

Every division would look bad when the champ is several levels above everyone else.

 

Says you. Holfyeld lost to Moorrer, could not finish V Bean, was floored and might have received help from the ref vs. Bert Cooper, was cut by Larry Holmes, and lost the series to Bowe 1-2. Wlad beats Holy.

Tyson was not as good post prison 50/50

Lewis? I'd pick whomever had Steward in their corner. Pre Steward Lewis had balance issues, and did not learn defense.
