    How?.

    Louis knocked out former hw champion Carnera when 21, then Max Baer, another former HW Champion, same as J.J Braddock.

    Went on to defeat Tommy Farr, who was considered one of the best english HW fighters ever.

    Then we have John Lewis, Buddy Baer, Schmelling, Galento, Conn, Nova, J.J. Walcott.

    Even if we stick to the last 30 years, Lewis, Holifyeld and Tyson have a better resume than Wlad.

        But when I hear people say he's the P4P no 1 on the basis of beating Pinata, something is seriously wrong. Some of his fans are down right delusional, and I feel for his fans that are actually in touch with reality.
        Who said that?

          I'm all for that, and I understand his fans want to enjoy his victory, but let's keep it real - Pinata didn't come to win.

          It was on that thread "I'm done watching Floyd fight, I'll stick to Wlad" or something like that. Dude was claiming he was sick of watching Floyd fight cherrypicks (his mandatory) and would rather watch Wlad (who fought a cherrypick). It was quite a funny thread, and I believe it might have been the wienerschnitzel who said it. He said Wlad > Floyd anyways as you can see in my signature. That was just too funny to pass up.

          TS deleted the thread btw. probably realized he was looking like an absolute clown.

                  I think most everyone can appreciate him at this stage of his career though.

                  I'm going to have to agree with this.

                  Klit is a likeable person. However, his comatosed and robotic jab jab jab grab and lean down, coupled with his demented 'supporters', it makes all things Klit, very difficult to get along with.
