    Wlad is no question a Hall of Famer. As far as the historical match-ups, those are just wanking, I don't much care.

    look, size doesn't mean **** all, we've seen that time and time again, otherwise like i said, valuev would be the best boxer in the world, let alone he has trouble with guys much smaller because they're better. simple as, so while you talk about these guys matching up physically against wladimir, even though wladimir has beaten bigger fighters than sanders, i say, i don't care because the likes of foreman, frazier, tyson, ali are all a lot better than sanders.

    also your argument that fighters have gotten faster over the years is bollocks. as you can see by this heavyweight division due to the size, it's actually made fighters slower. that's quite obvious that heavyweights aren't as fast. strength also means **** all if you don'y know how to use it to your advantage. this size thing you need to get out of your head.

    Unless Wlad loses to another bum before he retires he will without any doubt whatsoever be nominated and introduced to the HOF on his first year of eligibility.

    He has the best overall HW reign in terms of beating ranked men. He only ever matched the #1 and #2 HW contenders during his reign.

    Who has? HW'S of Wlad's size with Wlad's skill are rare.

    But all were more skilled than Wlad. It's a question of diminishing returns.

    And let's not forget that Walcott's effort versus Marciano was one of his most impressive filmed efforts.

    This argument works both ways; Marciano is better than Brewster for example.

    This is possible. But we are agreed, obviously, that only one of these fighters has a history of being KO'd.
