    Paulie can be fun because he throws in volume at least and in combination even if he has no power at all.

    I don't make mythical ATG rankings because I am not 90 years old nor am I pretending to know everything about the sport from when it began or seen every fight which every great fighter took part in like many poster here pretend to.

    It seems you have some issue with me from a past thread and decided to bring it up now for whatever reason.
    The only reason I argued with you is because out of all the main Klitscko fans, you seem one of the few that will actually debate properly...other fans just post random/useless facts/percentages, or make it a racial thing......

    The only reason I brought up Holyfield/Lennox was because, like you, I also haven't watched a mass amount of fights from previous decades to jump to conclusions, so I gave you two quite recent fighters for you to judge......

      Flattery will get you everywhere with me yes no copy and paste with me.

      Even if I did make an ATG list like that, Wlad's career is not over yet so its hard to place him anywhere. If he loses to Haye he is out of the running for good and a win over Haye and a longer title run.........who knows really.

        Wlad bacause at least with his fights, you get woken up only to say "Oh ****, what'd I miss?" instead of "oh, its done...finally"

          Im kinda torn with the Haye fight.....I kinda see it like the Floyd vs Hatton fight...where by, because Hatton hadn't proven he could fight at 147, Floyd doesnt get too much credit for stopping Ricky (I understand why, to be honest)

          IMO, Haye has done nothing at Heavyweight for people to think he can beat Wlad.......IMO, Wlad is too intelligent and Haye has a leaky defense.....

          Idealy, Haye should have fought Adamek, Ibragimov, Povetkin.....had he beaten all of these...it would have been a super fight...right now I see it as more of a hype fight.....

          Plus we will never know how good Haye was at HW, as he is retiring....

            I agree totally, but I guess we will find out what Haye is made of.....this is a massive step up from the comp he has faced.

            I wish Haye did fight the fighters you mentioned, if he would he would be looked at like a sort of HW phenom going in against the champ instead of a guy with some ability who could possibly check Wlad's not so iron chin and pull of an upset.

              Mayweather.. he's like a poet in the ring completely contrasts his out of the ring persona.

                Wlad is obviously more exciting. He has 49 KOs in 55 wins. Haye will be Wlad's 50th knockout victim.

                Floyd only has 25 KOs in 41 wins. He only has 1 KO in his last 6 fights.

                If you wanna see boring decisions...watch Floyd

                If you wanna see beatdowns and knockouts...watch Wlad

                  Watching Floyd's fight is like watching curling in mid-summer while watching Wlad fight is like witnessing a super bowl game.

                    Whats more exciting?

                    Listening to golf on the radio or cd. Neither.
