    I'm sick of this NFL/NBA excuse.

    It's just as logical (more so, considering the vastly larger and more varied talent pool) to say that the next great heavyweight is playing soccer somewhere. Look at the number of top kickboxers who were failed soccer players, Aerts, Kaman, CroCop, Bonjasky.

    Or what about tennis? Loads of massive athletic guys there.

    And while we're on the subject of big money sports, why not golf? There's gotta be a few more Corrie Sanders like beasts putting about on the green...

    As for Wlad, he's athletic and extremely skilled. Dynamic? Not sure what you mean, but he's shown the ability to beat opponents of many different styles, sizes and attributes. He's certainly not robotic, as is constantly talked about here. If he was, someone would have figured him out now.

          I agree with you there, the whole robotic european thing is just a stereotype americans have from watching too much rocky.

                  Highly unlikely we will see someone as dynamic and athletically gifted as Ali in the Heavyweight division again.......but there won't ever be anyone who can match his charisma, thats for certain

                    Whats wrong with Wladimirs athletic ability?

                    Probably wont happen for a long time. Most superathletic big guys pick other sports than boxing nowadays.
