    Frazier went 0:2 vs. Foreman. Bowe went 2:1 vs. Holyfield. If they fought 100 times Bowe would probably win 70 fights. If Vitali fought Byrd 100 times. How many times would the former MW win? 5?

    Size matters, it's obvious. You're hand-picking one-off wins of smaller men against bigger fighters. Statistically your argument doesn't hold water.

    Nah I don't think people win purely on size alone otherwise Haye wouldn't have beaten Valuev.

    Wlad is a lot more skilled than a lot of people, I haven't seen him win a single fight because he's too big.

    Then you are as hopelessly clueless about boxing as you are about quoting. Wlad's size is a huge part of his ability. There are weight classes for a reason.

    Meanwhile, poor ol' heral continues to make stuff up. Is your alter ego going to make any appearances? He's at least self aware.

    Like I said, I clearly rate Wlad a lot more than you do.

    I have not seen one fight of his were size was the prevailing reason he won.

    Walters battering Donaire was down to size. Liston battering Patterson was down to size. Jeffries battering Fitzsimmons was down to size. Segura battering Calderón was down to size.

    Wlad is able to out box his opponents, keep them at range, smother them in close and spark them out. Playing his skill set down as merely a size advantage is just a ploy to detract from Wlad.

    I think he'd beat Dempsey, not because he's too big, but because he's a superior boxer imo. I get that you don't share my view but unless I pin all my hopes on Wlad out boxing Dempsey I shall remain far from hopeless.
