Wladimir Has About 1 Year Until He Is the 2nd Longest Reigning HW Champion EVER

No, but that wasn't my point. I just remember Holmes took a lot of "0's" away back in the day and Wlad has too. Doesn't mean the competition for either guy was great because it wasn't it was just interesting to me.....:good

 

Hes a great fighter and a great for the sport.

 

Gotcha. :good

 

Part of WKs problem is himself - he beats people so easy with his boring style that the public thinks there is nothing to it.

What he needs is a career-defining fight that shows how good he is (or isn't).

I thought that might be the Haye fight but that didn't happen. Eventually someone nasty will show up and give us this fight.

 

Are you aware that:

Joe Louis, who holds the record at 26 title defenses, is considered by many trainers and fighters to be the GOAT...was fighting cab drivers and neighborhood thugs during that streak?

That he was fighting 4 or 5 times a year against guys the media called "The Bum of the Month Club"?

That the competition that Wlad is facing is light years ahead of the competition Louis was facing at that time?

That by saying Louis wins were inisgnificant will make you look like an idiot?

That by saying that Wlad, who is beating better competition on his way to breaking that same record, isn't doing enough shows you are either an idiot or in total denial?

That by saying Louis was legitimate for making that record against bums while Wlad isn't legitimate for breaking it against previous world champions, journeymen and gatekeepers shows you have no idea what you are talking about?

OK. Just checking. :good

 

Exactly. An acromegalic giant and an obese bartender. Not exactly quality athletes there.

H2H? I don't think so.

And he was a light heavyweight.

A. Light. Heavy. Weight.

That's one below cruiserweight if you didn't know.
