It appears many fighters are throwing around this idea like it's a fact.
His brother Vitali has 45 wins with 41 KO's, only 2 losses. He has never been stopped nor dropped in his career, so how can you say Wladimir has dominated the Heavyweight division for a long time? It would be incorrect to state that.
Has he been UNDISPUTED Heavyweight champion for 11 years? I must have missed that.
ROFLMAO, Vitali held the belt for most of the last 10 years and Wlad said he wasn't going to fight him. Undisputed champion doesn't mean all that, Mayweather's never done it whereas Zab Judah has. Judah>Mayweather? Or YDKSAB
And to clear things up, Wladimir is a better boxer and Vitali is a better fighter. I watched the documentary the other day, their old coach said Vitali is like stone, hard to engrave but tough to break down. Wlad is like clay, easy to mould but weathers more easily.
Wlad dominated by beating all the top fighters in povetkin, thompson, haye and chagaev whilst vitali feasted on poor opposition in chisora, sosnowski and so on he was way too contempt playing 2nd fiddle to lil bro
I'd add to that by asking who he's avoided. He's fought everybody and barely lost a round.
To that question I would say that he's avoided the one man throughout his career that can beat him, Vitali.
Is it reasonable to ask Wlad to fight his brother? Absolutely not, but it is also not reasonable to think that he would have been as dominate without that brother hanging around and getting rid of the more serious challenges to that reign.
I don't understand the correlation between Wlad not dominating and Vitali's record.
BTW, those numbers look pretty for Vitali, but Wlad is the one beating the best heavyweights more often than not. He absolutely has dominated the heavyweight division for a long time.
Vitali was never even unified and his resume is utter sh1t...Wlad's career sh1ts all over Vitali's
Vitali whoops little bro pretty easily, their mom is the main reason why it never happened.

10 years is a long time what do want him to rule for a 100 years
When did he last lose? How many consecutive defences? That's dominating bro.

His style is pretty dreadful to watch but there's no question in my mind that he's dominated the division, certainly since Vitali retired.
