    Most people thought Oscar beat Trinidad, won the second fight with Mosley and Hopkins was far too large an opponent to hold that loss against him.

    No one is comparing him to those three, he's not even on Lewis' level yet. But hypothetical match ups can be done with any two fighters, and sometimes, styles make fights.

      I'm complaining about the fact that he's not exciting to watch but that doesn't matter right?

        louis was ko's by smeling

        ali was floored by lesser comp

        foreman was ko'd by ali and floored several times


        but guess what all cameback and won...just like wlad..thats the stamp of a true champ...these people fight other men for a living..hell theres always a chance you can get hurt,ko'd or floored..the average man would quit and walk away..but we admire these people cause they face adversity,continue and win

          I wouldn't go as far as TS.

          Wlad is a very good boxer, but I STILL say it's hard to know how he would do against a REAL classy hevayweight contender, because there ain't none.

          Best the division could manage was a fat, featherfisted cruiserweight.

            Calling Wlad a disgrace is just wrong. I find him boring as hell to watch and dont like his style,but he has beaten everybody put in his path for years. The HW division is as poor as I have ever known it,but that isnt Wlads fault.

            I do think he is limited though,and would not feel comfortable listing him among the very best heavyweights ever. Vitali would beat the living piss out of him,as would Lewis,Tyson,Holyfield etc. and they are just from the modern era.

                On a sidenote, you know something is wrong when the guy who just had like 13 title defences most in dominate fashion who also happens to have a PH.D, speaks four languages and is a humanitarian dedicated to support needs for children around the world gets called a disgrace.

                    True,you can dislike the guys style as a fighter,but he is a class act as a human being.
