Cant think of top 3 ones to beat Wlad K because hes that good, so I went for a fair journeyman, a failed retiree and a failed young prospect to totally destroy wlad in a few rounds.

Ross Purrity
Corrie Sanders
Lamon Brewster


Hope that helps.

think were talkin about prime wlad that learned how to pace himself son

I'd throw

1. Tommy Morrison
2. Razor Ruddock
3. Rid**** Bowe

in the mix.

morrison and ruddock were too one dimensional and hittable. prime bowe would have been a tough one tho altho he was also hittable and steered clear of big punchers. 50/50 on that one

if a boxer hasn't learned to pace himself by the age of 30 then hes in the wrong sport - since his career at the top is not far finished by then. The only thing you can possibly mean by what you say is that Wlad is such a poor boxer that it took him till his 30s to figure out pacing is important, way inferior to the average titlist. if so, fine.

but I'm talking about physically prime wlad yup.

not 38 year old slowing, less fit wlad who had learned not to step up again.


but if you mean that one, then fighters lesser than the ones I mentioned.

Regarding Bowe, I might go one step further and describe him as the only top level heavyweight in history who was UNMISSABLE.

Good because Wlad was in his 20's for all of those fights. There are plenty of things to criticize Wlad for without having to bring up a fight from more than 16 years ago. A fight no one would have heard of if it was a 10 rounder.

Anyhow I'd go with '89 Tyson, '67 Ali and '74 Foreman. Throw in a '60 Liston for good measure.

Tyson Fury
'74 Foreman
'88-'89 Mike Tyson

I'll throw in Rid**** Bowe, who I believe would knock out Wlad and bring the fight to him on the inside. Then I'll add Lennox Lewis and Muhammad Ali who I think would be stylistic nightmares for Wlad.

Bowe would be a nightmare for Vlad.... It would look like when Bowe fought Gonzales. There are so many fighters who starch Vlad. I think his brother is harder to deal with. I think Vlad would beat Floyd Patterson

[KnockoutNed]

Bowe would have destroyed Wlad. Even the wasted version that fought Golota would have probably been too tough and resilient for him to deal with. In some previous eras Wlad would be lucky to have been a mid tier contender.

Ross Purrity
Corrie Sanders
Lamon Brewster

HAHA was waiting for someone to say this. It's like when people ask what heavyweights historically beat Ali and someone always says Frazier.
