    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.
    Good points and stats. Fact is he isn't a huge huge HW. And the much vaunted reach advantage of 81" isn't huge either. Sonny Liston had 84" for instance. Skills and athleticism/power is what makes him dominant.

          People should send e-mails to The Ring website and request Wlad be recognized in their top 10 p4p.

          They post their e-mails below their articles, near the bottom of the page.

          I once sent a message to Eric Raskin and he replied to me.

            The Ring is a ****ing Joke

            how they don't have Wlad in the Top 10 is a ****ing crime

            He is on an ATG run in the Heavyweight Division......

            I have Wlad in my Top 3 behing Mayweather & Pacquiao

            How the **** is Nonito Donaire on that list?????? WTF Has he done????

            Wlad is the most dominant Champ in any weight division

            The Ring never give him credit

                  I would rank Wlad #3 P4P and Vitali isn't that far behind. Aside from Floyd and Manny, no one else right now is dominating their division to anywhere near the same extent that the Klitschkos are dominating the heavyweight division.

                    Yes, they are clearly dominating the division.

                      Wlad could easily make a case as most dominant champion in the world today so IDK what Ring's biased against him is about but Donaire......lolz.
