I'm just wondering how you guys think Donald would have done in another Era, like the 80's. I think he is a pretty good fighter, who could have been Champion in the 80's. I have seen him fight a few times and looked over his record, he has only 4 losses to GREAT comp, whos current records are 154-6 with 125 KO's. They had a combined 2 losses when he faced them. In his loss with Valuev he should have won. His other losses where to BOWE,VK, and Kirk Johnson.
Is Donald un-officially retired since his loss to Valuev? I would like to see him to get back into the ring against some of the current top ten contenders. I think that he'd give Brock a run for his money. :) (no pun intended!)
it would be a tough fight for brock (Brock wins). but i do see Lance beating Peter/Sergie/and Valuev
bigger isnt always better
oh i totally agree, my point is that these big guys today are much harder to fight than people give them credit for. Yeah their skills my not be up to par but their size and strength give them a huge advantage.

How can u say that, No other era has had as many Giants in the Div as now. it started in the 90's guys like Bowe/Jorge Luis Gonzalas/McCline/LL/Wlad/VK/Valuev. i like the older fighters too, but to think they could get past all of these guys is crazy. Back in the 70's there was only 1 big guy, George and he proved to be too big and stong. and these guys are bigger than him. Larry him self is bigger than most past fighters and he has good skill with a solid chin.

Well it's fairly clear he could be champion in this era considering he all but schooled Valuev.

todays era is weaker then that era. tyson was blowing everyone away back then. donald could be a champ today if he could get a rematch with valuev,,Id even give him a descent chance against serge
Larry is a good solid pro.
I agree , He's not going to take out prime Tyson, Holmes or the Holyfields but maybe he can get past the James Bonecrusher Smiths and Mike Weavers that were around at the time . I would call it a very short title rain by beating one of the alphabet title holders and that's about it .
if you cant be champion at HW in this era, your never gonna be champion at all
