    Wlad was with Streward when Brewster beat him :)
    Since then who had Wlad faced, Austin lol, Brock, who???, then a one eyed Brewster and yeah he beat a guy that Jameel Mcline could put down 3 times but who put Wlad down 3 times!

    He was with Steward when he fought Brewster, and he still lost. Wlad is far from unbeatable, Peter almost knocked him out in 05.:deal

    I think he'd be a champ in the 90's but I don't know for how long.

    Moorer in two rounds? Moorer in his prime was stopped in 10 by Foreman. No way does Wlad stop a 90's Moorer in two rounds.

    How the hell did Wlad destroy Peters chin, Peter was the one that knocked him down 3 times.:deal

    As far as Steward being with Wlad for one day, thats not true he was with him through the whole training camp.

    Peters takes hits all night...and as a boxer you know necessary individual punches dont do damage that much, but great amount of punches...

    Trainers needs time to drive-in their fighting style.

    I agree trainers do need time to with fighters, but Steward did train Wlad before that fight. I myself would love to see Wlad fight a good oppenent like Peter or Chagaev sometime soon.

    The 90's were a decade where Moorer and an old Foreman reigned as champions, I think Wlad would do just fine. Along with Lennox they would probably carry the decade as the two best HW's. Wlad beats Bowe, Foreman, Moorer, Morrison, Mercer, Tua, Seldon, Tyson, Holyfield, Cooper, Rahman, McCall, Ruddock. I don't personally rate the 90's much higher than present, and back then all I can remember was everyone saying what shite the division was, now all of a sudden it's the glory days?

    He'd do fairly well I'd say, but he loses to the elite of that era.

    No disrespect but Tyson and Lewis would take him him, early. Bad stylistic matchups. I'd make Holyfield and Bowe slight favourites as well. Mercer and Ruddock would have a 50/50 chance, but the current version of Wlad would more than hold his own against virtually any other fighter from that era and would likely win his fair share. :good

    Wlad would have had a tough time with Bowe, Golota, Lewis, and probably Tyson.
