Why will Wlad never be considered a great HW?

[THE REED]

wlad isnt a bad fighter.. i just think the hw division is absolute ****

u could pretty much say hes doing all he can possibly do right now, theres just nobody to fight

[Low Blow Armo]

Another pathetic Wlad hate thread

Wlad IS a great heavyweight and a future hall of famer.

[Steak]

Wlad is actually very charismatic, I never understand where people get that from. seriously, he has some hilarious moments.

but the rest of the division is horrible. lets face it, it is. only his brother is actually good, and they wont fight one another. bad situation.

and also, I know its not his fault, but hes still yet to knock out Chagaev. who is probebly the number 3 guy in the world, even if hes lousy.

I thought he already was considered a great HW... at least in comparison to the others around him.

But if the division is so absolutely ****ty, why doesn't he walk through his opponents like they're nothing instead of jabbing for 12 rounds with the occasional right hand? I think that's where most of the dislike comes from. I mean there have been other great heavyweight champions that fought in weak era's.

[Love Tunney]

Jealous ****.

[Chunk..]

what???lennox lewis was ko'd twice a true champ comes back and better..get ya mind right..

Difference is, Lennox avenged ALL his losses! Wlad didn't!

...Because that's the way he fights. Larry Holmes fought with jab all night long in his era, you don't consider him great?

That's a problem for him too. If he were to avenge those losses and continue to dominate the way he is, he would be granted the same grudging respect that Lewis was granted.

Lewis never "avenged" the McCall KO loss

McCall had a mental breakdown and started crying in the ring....most bizarre thing I have ever seen.
