Top 10 heavyweights of wlad's era...

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Hmmmm, if Tua and Byrd are classed as his era, shouldn't Lennoz, Tyson and Evander at least get a mention? When Wlad first held the WBO, Lennox was the WBC and IBF (not to mention linear champ too) and Evander was WBA champ. I think that year 2000 Lennox would have all but killed any version of Wladimir. As for Tyson he'd just made Golota quit around about that time too and I think Tyson vs Wlad at that time would have been an interesting fight but one that Mike would end up KO winner in.

Now I know Wlad has improved a shit load since then and I'd actually pick Wlad to beat any version of Tyson NOW, I just think it's a horrible matchup for Tyson.

I see wlads era and lewis' as two different ones, both contained a long running linear champ.

There will be cross over fighters from 2 different era's in any era. Baby wlad competed in lennies era.

Consider Lennoz, Tyson and Evander more than mentioned my friend, however, i really tend to associate them with the 90's, u do have a point though. I hope u can see what im getting at, i think it would demean lennox to give him an honourable mention if u get my drift! 2 different era's really...i also think it demeans wlad to judge him on his fledgling years in the late lewis era.

well but Tua was pretty irrelevant after his loss to Lewis, so don't see why he is even mentioned

Top 10 heavyweights of wlad's era,

is somewhat an oxymoron. For the most part they are stand in's and props not top ten.

The only competition it had/has in relationship to lameness is Marciano's. This era in general makes the era of Holmes look like a golden one.
