That was a hell of a fight .... I honestly thought that it should've been a draw it was so close ... but I don't have a problem with Lewis winning by SD
Mercer seemed to hurt Lewis more times than Lewis had Mercer in trouble ...
Lewis has an average chin IMO ... its not complete and pure glass like Wlad's and its not iron like Chuvalo's
That Mercer, despite being out of shape and past his best, would've knocked the hinges off Wlad's jaw

El kabong, 37000 posts is that the highest on here?
Well done anyway.
Wlads still crap.
I'd rather have Vitali as the major champ than Wlad
At least Vitali is a natural fighter and gave a hell of a fight against Lennox Lewis ... Wladimir is just a robot programmed by Emmanuel Steward to throw a total of 3 punches and clinch like a madman any time someone moves within striking range of his chin.
He literally fights scared. I think even Pac could KO the guy if he landed cleanly on his jaw. And the past few years have been really crappy ... at least back in 2004 until 2008 there was a chance that he'd be taken out of his comfort zone and be forced to take some risks ... even have his jaw smashed again in an entertaining fashion![]()
He's gotten even more boring since working with Steward and super boring ever since he's been left with these bums or has beens who can't even reach his chin.
Fine Tyson fans have it your way....though it's odd that someone who was "unbeatable" got the everliving shit hammered out of him by Buster Douglas and lost TWICE to a former cruiserweight, one time in the most chicken shit way possible.
We all know that the Buster Douglas fight was the biggest upset in boxing history and we all know he could never duplicate that feat from that night in Tokyo. And Tyson STILL put him down with an uppercut in the 8th, almost unraveling all of Douglas' work. Douglas caught lightning in a bottle that night ... he was motivated and focused like never before and trained like it was the fight of his life. Mike foolishly thought he took an easy fight in Douglas and was in vacation mode in Japan. He went on a crash diet of nothing but soup and was visibly lethargic from the start of the fight. Tyson's corner was the only thing more unprepared than him that night.
Not to mention the personal problems he had outside of the ring during that time.

The Tyson-Douglas match was a fight! Two guys hitting each other... doing the boxing and the punching... trying to win the fight... throwing caution to the wind at times... riveting people to their TV sets or the live action... each guy dropping the other... EXCITING SHIT!
(sigh)... I miss those days.

Buster had Tyson's number that nite....inspired by his mums death and Tyson didn't prepare he was in party mode and lost it...that day was a great day for Buster and he took it and became a multi millionaire over nite...the Under dog did well

Wlad is a blend of goloto and frank bruno.
Array
Im not a big fan of bruno and goloto and Vlad is possibly better than each individual boxer, but i believe if you combine both goloto and brunos style you end up with a complete fighter in Wlad.
Bruno would do nearly or just as good in todays era as Vlad as done.
They have the same robot fighting ethic style.

Bless Bruno...he would have made mince meat out of todays heavyweights....that also includes Fury & Price....most would run a mile before they would fight Bruno...don't forget Bruno had Tyson in trouble and Bruno also was fighting against a dodgy ref in that fight who was on Don Kings wage bill....you watch that fight again Tyson got away with murder and Bruno got penalised for very little
job biscuit (thats all)!!!

And why didnt Wlad fight valuev before he retired?
