Using your magical "shrink ray" where the heavyweight isn't allowed to change his style upon turning into a 119 lbs midget, yep, Darchinyan smashes them. I was satirizing the "shrink ray" logic.
Listen I'm a wealthy stud... I forget to spell this stuff out so teenagers and hood**** can understand it.Comment

Wlad's overall skill package is to jab, occasionally throw a right hand or left hook, and clinch. He fights like Hopkins at his worst against horrible competition. His skills are not even close to comparable with the best in the sport.Boxing goat? Did Ali say this?
On a serious note, I'd rank Wlad higher but wouldn't mind if someone had Rigo higher.
Here's why:
Wlad has dominated as THE heavyweight champion for almost a decade.
Wlad is the most complete fighter in his division and head and shoulders above everyone else (same can probably be said for Rigo but his only real challenge has been Nonito)
His jab is one of the best in the game and overall skill package is comparable to almost anyone in the sport, yes he lacks a good inside game but he makes up for it with terrific movement for a heavyweight, fast hands and immense power.
Rigo has Wlad beat on all round skill by a hairs breadth, but Wlad has superior power and superior achievement. So Id rank Wlad higher.
Watching Ward or Mayweather or Rigo and then watching Wlad and thinking Wlad in anyway compares to them skill-wise is flat out wrong.Comment

Lmao at your post....Using your magical "shrink ray" where the heavyweight isn't allowed to change his style upon turning into a 119 lbs midget, yep, Darchinyan smashes them. I was satirizing the "shrink ray" logic.

Why do you think it's called "POUND FOR POUND". Why use the words pound in it... Why not "who has best resume" "who has dominated longest".. Why is the word pound in the title,, twice I might add.. Why is that?Comment

It's called "pound for pound" because you're comparing them their resumes vs guys their own weight, not magical shrink ray fights where Wlad turns 5'5" and for some reason continues to fight like hes 6'7".
Rigo is a very good fighter and I don't think the two are in different universes P4P or anything, I just think you guys should know that isn't what P4P means.Comment

Seriously, you think a 6'6" version of Kelly Pavlik would have the same footwork as Wladimir ?You have to imagine skillsets,,, wlad at heavy is a big tall jabber with big power, in a h2h with rigo at the lower weights, he would still be a big tall jabber with big power, just like a Kelly pavlik type fighter... And guys like serg, rigo, Floyd, Hopkins, ward would carve him up..Comment
