    How big achievement?

    Is Wlad beating McCline in '02?? McCline was a feared puncher then and was heavily hyped after beating Grant, Briggs and Whitaker. I've seen many of Wlad haters refuse to count this as a great win, but I disagree. I do think it showed how good he was, to own the unbeaten McCline like he did. McCline didn't stand a chance!

      Didn't you read my post?? He was UNDEFEATED and had started cleaning up the American hw ranks before Wlad took his soul and destroyed him. He was never the same after Wlad.

        And how was he great before Wlad? Because he was undefeated? Just trying to follow your logic.

            Every undefeated prospect is great.

              HE wasn't great, but it was one of Wlad's greatest wins. Duh! McCline was very good in his prime, but Wlad ended his primetime. Dig?

                Ah...I get it.

                McCline wasn't great.

                It wasn't a great win.

                It was just one of Wladimir's greatest wins.

                Ok cool.

                  I'm looking for response from someone unbiased, who knows something about boxing.

                    IMDAZED is quite right about this. McCline wasn't that great to begin with and wasn't really a great win, it was a solid win over a solid opponent.
