    Wlad is like top 20-25 material but too one-dimensional (has to stay outside to win) to be a reliable pick. "The absolute greatest" needs to be someone who is well-rounded like Vitali, or even able to switch specialties over the span of their career like Foreman, they can't be guys like Wlad and Tyson who have mastered one area to perfection but look lost if the fight takes place too close or too far. Frazier and Ali weren't that rounded either.

    Prime Vitali vs prime Foreman, that would have been a fight.
    I still have the RING Magazine where Nat Fleischer, the RING Founder and Publisher, Mr. Boxing, as he was known, said that Ali gets away with it because he can backpeddle fast out of the way. But when his speed dropped, that fact that he lacks most of the boxing fundamentals needed will make him suffer greatly. Many other experts agreed.

    And we all know how true this was and how it worked out for Ali. Fleischer was steeped in boxing all his life, reported from ringside on the Jefferies-Corbett fight around 1903-4 when only a kid teenager. And said that he saw every important fight on record ever since.

      The sts showed Wlad threw equal punches to Haye, yet landed over 50 percent moor.

      That is a schooling, i scored it 8 rounds to wlad, being kind on Haye, byut even the round with the point deduction, i scored that even.

      Wlad is literally unbeatable of any era...

        I'd put wlad or vitali against any HW in history. Not saying they would beat them all, but nobody is gonna easily beat them.

        Too athletic, too tall, too strong.

                  Top 10-25 ever. Lennox Lewis? Joe Louis? Rocky Marciano? Muhamad Ali? Rid**** Bowe? Larry Holmes? Michael Spinks? Joe Frasier? George Foreman? Mike Tyson? Evander Holyfield? Sonny Liston? No way the best. Maybe an ATG. Bout it.

                      This right here. Wlad is a great fighter and has beaten pretty much all the top competition today, but there isn't really any elite comp. for him to face. Wlad just doesn't have the mentality to be the greatest heavyweight, which is ironic because that mentality and will is exactly what i think separates his brother from him.
