    Wlad's record:

    http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum...7035&cat=boxer

    Many of his opponents WEIGHED MORE THAN HE DID:

    Thompson
    Rahman
    Austin
    Jefferson
    Moli
    McCline
    Koch
    Shaheed
    Purrity
    Pannell
    Dixon
    LaRosa
    McIntyre
    Botowamungu
    Martin x 2
    Monroe x 2
    Wolfgramme
    G. Williamson
    Maciel


    For those 21 fights and a few others Wlad's opponents were bigger than he is. Frans Botha weighed exactly the same. About ten others were very close to the same weight...

    Wlad has excellent boxing skills. If size was all that mattered, then the top heavyweights would be Marcellus Brown, Julius Long, Alexander Ustinov, Evgeny Orlov, and Tye Fields. All these men are bigger than Wladimir, but none of them are close to his athleticism.

    Lennox Lewis was about the same size as Wlad, in fact had a longer reach at 84" to Wlad's 81" and longer arms 29.5" to Wlad's 26". Lennox was in the Ring top 10 p4p. Bowe was a big man too, he was in the top 10 p4p as well.

        P4P is who is the best boxer if size wasn't an issue, does anyone honestly believe Wlad is a top 10 boxer if he was the same size as everyone else?

          I think he´s turned into one lately, plus it´s also based on merit and form. If it were just about the best boxer period you could still have Roy Jones on there.

              While your nickname and avatar are class and the blobby meister is to be celebrated, I don't think you got my point.

                It's a very fair point. I love Nonito but number 4? And whilst I dislike Wlad's fighting style very much, you've got to really respect the way he's cleaning up the division. I'd probably be more annoyed if I seriously cared about p4p lists. It's best not to get caught up in it, cos alot of times, they don't make much sense.
