Was there ever a boxer like Wlad?

thank god no. he's bored the hvwt division into oblivion.

This. The most boring fighter I have ever seen. Compared to him, even Rigo is sometimes more exciting.

Henry Akinwande fought Lennox Lewis the same way Wlad would've.

Wlad is Henry Akinwande 2.0

In a complete class of his own really.

Lennox and Vitali were close but Wladimir went a step further and kind of totally redefined boxing.

There has never been such a flawless display of boxing ever and I think it's fair to say that there likely will be nothing to match it in relative terms for around 100 years or so.

Unbelievable career!

Lol he sucks. Always have ******

Hopkins comes to mind in today's era. You got to give the guy credit, it looked like it was all over after being blown away by Sanders and then smashed by Brewster but the way he rebuilt his career has been truely amazing. He got really lucky with the decline of the heavyweight division but hey you got to make your own luck.

The one funny thing was the difference between him and his brother, Vitali had so much more potential but Wlad done so much more. One was focussed on boxing the other didn't give a **** after Lewis retired.

Wlad for me will always be a fighter with some serious flaws but still within the top 10 - 20 heavyweights of all time.

I rate Rigondeaux as the number 1 P4P fighter in the world, even when Floyd was around but ffs he's unwatchable. I could stand Wlad but Rigo could put me to sleep.

A young fighter trying to make that comparison happen is Tevin Farmer. He has like 5 losses but has looked good recently with Whitaker style highlights.
