When will Wlad get his respect as one of the greatest heavyweights?

Ali Foreman Lewis All would win by KO. Ali broke down opponents and his ability to stay inside the pocket and not get hit by smothering punches. Wlad's size would work against him against Ali. Ali's speed would be too much. Foreman's power would obliterate Wlad. Lewis would do what Lewis does, come in with a smart plan(if he took him seriously) and break him down KO him with his glass jaw. I agree that Ali would probably beat Wlad possibly by stoppage depending on when the fight took place. The glass jaw is getting old though because Wlad has never been KO'd by one punch as Lewis has twice. How many times did Wlad get up against Sanders? lol

When he stops holding excessively when he IS WINNING THE DAMN FIGHT!!!!! I dont get it, he is not hurt and even in with a bum where he has all the advantages and deystroying him but he still resorts to cheap tactics like holding and bending his weight on them, it pisses me off. That was Manny's training, with his size, his stamina will never be great so Manny has trained him to hold to keep from tiring excessively. The trouble is that he seems to lack the judgement to distinquish when is a good time to hold and when isn't which makes for some boring moments in fights that didn't have to go that way.

I've got a question. Why is it that none of Steward's fighters can fight on the inside, AT ALL? If Wlad could learn to fight on the inside, chew 10 packs of gum a day (supposedly that helps your chin,) and be less tentative and more aggressive, blow away the guys he supposed to early, he has the talent to be one. Problem is at 32, after almost 12 years as a pro, after 54 pro fights and after being brutally KO'd (once, the other two he just gassed,) it's probably too late.

Wlad is a good Heavyweight, but he is not one of the greatest heavyweights.

When he gets rid of emanuel stuart and learns how to BOX!

Who cares if some people dont give respect to Vladimir. You cannot please everyone. All that really matters is Vladimir is the champion and he keeps knocking out his opponents. Vladimir's peers and his trainer have respect for him. Your right on the money. You can't please everybody. Steward thinks Wlad will finish his career as on of the all time greats. I think if he finishes his career like he should I would put in my top 15. People hav egot to understand that all fighter lose for the exception of Rocky.

I am new to this forum, so please be nice. Wlad is my favorite fighter and i personally think he is the greatest. Just look at his resume and knockout ratio. It tells it all. Which heavyweight would even stand a chance? When he stops holding excessively when he IS WINNING THE DAMN FIGHT!!!!! I dont get it, he is not hurt and even in with a bum where he has all the advantages and deystroying him but he still resorts to cheap tactics like holding and bending his weight on them, it pisses me off.

All fighter have off night like when Wlad fought Sanders ALA Lewis-Mccall. Tyson-Douglas shit happens. Quit hating. Wlad would be the fav against anybody in the world right now. Also what does Wlad have to do in order to get some of yall respect.

Sanders sure didn't... Frazier beat Ali . Foreman beat Frazier with eaze. And then Ali beat Foreman. Boxers are human kiddo, everybody loses.

I once knew this chick named Ashley, she was pleasing everybody, damn. Now that was funny!

there we go again with theat old past prime bullshitt I find this amusing. So an obvious fact is bull shit? I didn't even know Wlad and Vlad nuthuggers denied Lewis was obviously not in his prime.... how insane. I understand their complaints about wanting a rematch or being ahead on the scorecards even... but seriously, you're denying he wasn't at the top of his game? I can't fathom this.

Wlad sucks and all his fans are gay

there we go again with theat old past prime bullshitt I don't smell 'Bullshit'?

He doesnt deserve the respect yet but hes doing for the most part all he can to be the man on top. If he beats Peter Haye,Toney and grabs another belt he deserves the respect

Last time i checked, a prime Vitali couldn't put away an old and past his prime Lennox? Lennox must of gotten bored of saying 'Check Mate' all the time. there we go again with theat old past prime bullshitt

The ghost#1, i agree pal, good stuff. Wlads resume er ynkeligt, indrøm det, kammerat..

Yeah... I am sure all those champs would have problems with Corey Sanders given that he KO the hell out of your favorite boxer... lmao Tyson used Sanders as a sparring partner in his recent exhibition matches and kicked his ass http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2633691
