    Yeah, so the same could potentially happen with Louis. But could Wlad take Louis' best shot?

    But fantasy fights doesn't have any bearing on greatness anyway.

      loius isn't a quick mover like haye. wlad would have a much better chance of landing cleanly and yes Louis could obviously starch wlad as well but wlad has the big size and reach advantage. anyway like you said its just fantasy and I hate head to head matchups from eras long gone. its hard to gauge on what would happen when todays fighters are so big and athletic compared to the big oafs back then

        No. Top 10 is a stretch too. And it isn't his fault due to available great competition in his era. However just because it isn't his fault, shouldn't be he gets a pass. Top 15 definitely. Top 10 maybe. Top 5, no.

          Wlad gives all the great heavywieghts huge problems.

          Too big, too strong, too smart.

          Wlad is underrated and one of the best ive ever seen.

            Wlad is like micheal jordan, actually greater.

            While jordan let players become hall of famers, wlad did not.

            People cry that its because the division is weak but in reality is that the brothers are so dominate they make everyone look inferior.

                Haye and Louis are completely different styles.

                  Lol where was Wlad's power and ability to cut off the ring against Haye? Haye gave him hell with his movement, something all HW's used to have. If you can't see the lack of skill in HW's I feel sorry for you. Peter is one of his best wins and got ****ing schooled by Toney right after fighting Wlad.

                  Even Fury was getting rocked by a feather fisted Cruiser, the guy people say is a top 5 HW, the division as a whole is one of the worst in boxing.

                    haye does have some fast damn feet for a heavyweight. peter was terribly out of shape in the first toney fight and kicked toneys ass when he decided to get into good shape in the rematch. he was past it when vitali got him

                      im a huge haye fan.

                      but but he wasnt cutting off the ring.... who gives a 5hit.

                      wlad would have had toney drinking out of a straw for the rest of his life.
