      I wouldn't say easy, his height is definitely a problem and he fights tall. but he doesn't pick his shots like a tommy hearn which allows him to be open. Also his jab doesn't look like it hurts and a fighter with some skill and fast hands will be able to expose him in close distance once they get thru that jab. I think someone like the young berto could show what I mean even.

        I agree they'd have a fairly easy time with Williams

          Williams is so unique and unorthodox, he would give anyone fits. He has his flaws (leaky defense, gets hit, doesn’t sit down on his punches), but he masks them very well with his style and volume of punches. I think he will be avoided by the other top guys at 147, not because they’re afraid of losing to him, but because of the difficult challenge he will present. It will be a grueling, taxing fight to beat him.
          tough, yes. can he be beat? easily...

You look at Lewis and two of the biggest bombs ever dropped him. He even got up from McCall's shot. Lewis could hang. Vitali definitely too because of the great chin and power. Wlad, I really don't think he's anything more than a contender in other eras.

            Margarito is one of the top welterweights if by top you mean top 10. He's definitely not top 5.

            I don't think anyone other than EvilSaint doesn't think Williams will be a threat to the 147 pound crown. He says Cotto breaks him in half with body shots. Maybe, but it won't be a walk in the park for anybody.
            Wlad makes of Frazier what he did of Brewster...
            He will just jab him to death in an easy fight.
            You can even mark my words and put it in your sig like you like to do.

            Same destiny would await most of the HW champs in Boxing history.

            I assure you, give Wlad another 2 years and you'll realize that he would be able to compete with some of the HOF's best!

            Most of Wlad's fights are very one-sided... While Vitaly gets hit plenty and goes to war, people don't realize how good Wlad's skills are. He has one of the best offences in the game today... and we all know that the best defense is offence!

                Margarito is rated high with those wins over Clottey and Cintron, but he's still overrated. He wouldn't have beaten Clottey without the hand injury. Anyone with good handspeed and footwork would defeat him. I think Mosley, Floyd, and Cotto would make him look ******. Paul Williams already beat him.

                  Mosley and PBF wouldn't have any easy time with Williams because he will stay more active and will make it close regardless we are talking about a fight that would go to the scorecards if PBF or Mosley would fight him... judging on how much they where wanting to fight marg they will be even less wanting to fight Pwill... get a clue

                    Joe Frazier would end Wladimir's life. Along with prime Tyson.
