    How is this not outstanding?

    Wlads last 16 opponents....13 K.Os

    1. DaVarryl Williamson 20-2
    2. Eliseo Castillo 18-0-1 Cuban stand out who had just boxed the ears off Michael Moorer.
    3. Sam Peter 24-0 Remember how feared this guy was at the time?
    4. Chris Byrd 32-2-1
    5. Calvin Brock 29-0 Coming off a win over the undefeated Timur Ibragimov
    6. Ray Austin 24-3-4
    7. Lamon Brewster 33-3 Avenged earlier career loss, won every round & took him out in 6.
    8. Sultan Ibragimov 22-0-1 Skillful Russian southpaw coming off wins over Holyfield & Briggs. Very experienced high level Amateur stand out!
    9. Tony Thompson 31-1-0 6ft5 southpaw riding a 25+ fight win streak. (basically undefeated)
    10. Hasim Rahman 45-6-2
    11. Ruslan Chagaev 25-0-1 Coming off wins over Carl Davis Drumond (25-0)
    a prime (21-0) Matt Skelton 7ft+ Nikolai Valuev! Also an olympic gold medalist who beat the great Felix Savon!
    12. Eddie Chambers 35-1-0 Had some very good wins, only loss to olympic gold medalist Alexander Povetkin in a close fight.
    13. Samuel Peter 34-3-0
    14. David Haye 25-1
    15. Jean Marc Mormeck 36-4-0
    16. Tony Thompson 36-2-0

    Many of you mock his resume, this is just his last win streak spanning towards a decade. Who in history has fought that level of competition back to back without losing or drawing? Baring in mind in those 16 fights, he only lost a handful of rounds for god sake!

    Those 16 wins really do better most of these heavyweight chumps from the golden eras entire resumes. Imagine in a few years time when hes taken a few more scalps. TOP 5 ATG heavyweight, no doubt.
    You maybe looking at THE GOAT tbh
    Appreciate him whilst hes still here

      It would have to be runnerup for best ever.. If RESume & comp were the only deciding factors.. we'd have the same criteria haters of the brother's utilyze to disparage them. Boxing skills of a fighter... overall strengths of his while taking out everyone with the fewest weaknesses also have to be taken into account. fACT is Wlad does have weaknesses in terms of how he fights.



      The fighter with the fewest weaknesses & the most strengths should always be the best ever in a particular sport. Mj IN BASKETBALL.. FEWEST weaknesses & the most strengths. Wlad is like LEBRON jAMES.. hE WILL never exceed Mj BECAUSE he simply has more weaknesses... freethrow shotting.. for one.. he can't score at will whenever he chooses even though he's one of the best point producers ever.



      Michael simply scored whenever & however he wanted no matter who was guarding him or how many at a time were doing it. In heavyweight boxing Vitali Klitschko is in line with Mj's dominance in terms of best numbers & most importantly doing it EVERY single time without an offday. LBJ will end up being the second best player in NBA history... Wlad will always be runnerup to his bro because his weaknesses have been exposed.. Vitali's hasn't.

        Coming off wins over Carl Davis Drumond (25-0) and a prime (21-0) Matt Skelton
        Coming off a win over the undefeated Timur Ibragimov
        coming off wins over Holyfield & Briggs
        Wlad gets too much criticism from some on here, but you're going OTT in defending him. Some of the above reads like a parody, beating 'a prime Matt Skelton' proves that you're an outstanding opponent? Come on now.

          Unbelievably good, he does not get the credit he deserves. It's as simple as that

                I'm not saying it's not outstanding, but the Heavyweight division is not exciting or that impressive to me right now.

                The talent at heavyweight in this era of boxing is really low compared to middleweights, welterweights and bantam/featherweights.

                It's not Wlad's fault, but it is what it is.
