    Agreed, if he could catch near prime Ali then I doubt Wlad would be able to get away with it.

    In the meantime Vlad will keep on cleaning out the heavyweight division's top ten.

    this division isnt hard to clean out

    he would never clean out the HW best era in the 70's (ali, foreman, shavers, norton, frazier)

    he may beat some of them but not ali for sure

    Except for the 3 stiffs that KO'd him, obviously.

    Vlad is really that good. Vlad was drugged in the first Brewster fight, Don King would not allow Vlad or Vitali to fight Brewster for any amount of money. Vlad only got the rematch after Brewster lost the title to Lyakovich, yes, and for Vlad's title.

    This has been done to death.

    Please see thread:

    Wlad is the best heavywt alive right now.

    But he would lose to Ali, Foreman and possibly Frazier too.

    He would also lose to Lennox and Iron Mike, as well as Holmes.

    And he would , with near certainty, lose to Vitali.

    My 5 cents worth !

    Ali, Foreman, and Frazier would beat Wlad. I would favor Wlad over Norton and Young though.

    Wlad would KO Noton.
    Foreman would KO Wlad.
    Ali would TKO Wald late in a very tough fight.
    Wlad vs. Frazier - too close to call, but I would lean towards smokin Joe.
