In your opinion. If you look at the records, Wlad has a higher KO ratio than Lennox and, of course, more successful defences - and counting.
Tommy Morrison was good for 5 rounds but lacked stamina and was too easy to hit.Tommy Morrison was a good fighter man, don't know why you'd put him down? He'd certainly give Wlad a better test than what he's getting currently, although I have no doubt Wlad would beat him.
I was watching some videos of Bert Cooper yesterday, a fringe contender in the 90s. I would put all my money on him being the next best thing in this era. The way he threw to the body and head like a prime Tyson, was vicious in his punching.
We don't see that nowadays, people who go for the kill from the first bell. I honestly don't see who in this current division other than Wlad that would beat someone like Bert Cooper.
Bert Cooper was small enough to make cruiserweight and lost almost as many fights as he won at heavyweight, 20 plus defeats. If he was active today he wouldn't even make the top 20 as a heavy. He just wasn't big enough, even in the 90's.Comment

Yeah, and Wilder also have a higher KO % than Wladimir. Lennox would never fight some of the guys Wlad has fought. Never.In your opinion. If you look at the records, Wlad has a higher KO ratio than Lennox and, of course, more successful defences - and counting.

Yeah, he actually was a CW
I'm talking about his prime, you can't judge a fighter on what happened when he got too old. At his prime, I don't see anyone with the skills he had. Maybe Povetkin, but other than that I don't see anyone in the top 20 that would beat him. Aside from Wlad of course.
So why are you trying to compare it to Lennox's when Lennox's chin was clearly better? I think his chin is pretty bad, but he's learned to protect it. Which is good I suppose. that's why he never throws bodyshots. That's why he steps back after a jab. He knows he doesn't take a shot well and he's adapted to it.
Which skills? Just tell me which skills he has? People are telling me he has skills, but no one wants to say which skills he has!Comment

Wlad is the second longest reigning world heavyweight champion in boxing history. Wilder hasn't fought a single top 30 ranked opponent. Comparing Wilder's KO ratio to Wlad's is ridiculous.Yeah, and Wilder also have a higher KO % than Wladimir. Lennox would never fight some of the guys Wlad has fought. Never.

Bert Cooper was beaten many times while still young and in his prime. No way would a 1980's/90's cruiserweight be able to live with today's giant heavyweights.Last edited by kafkod; 11-16-2014, 10:34 PM.Comment

When did I compare their chins? What I said was that Lennox was knocked out in much more spectacular fashion. I think anybody that watched the fights would agree with that statement. Minus you of course.

With that said I believe two of Wlad's loses were based more so on stamina problems than him having a weak chin. And the reason he doesn't throw to the body is simply because he doesn't have to. And you can say what you want about Pulev. But he was forcing Wlad to do things that he usually doesn't do and one of them was jabbing to the body. And the other one was throwing left hooks.
With that said if you want to claim that Wlad has a weak chin then you also have to consider Lennox having one as well. And that is not necessarily my opinion but if you Google it you will see that there are plenty of list with supposedly weak chinned elite fighters on it and both of their names are on many of list.Comment
