    .....


    And look at who he fought at that point in his career, a bunch of cling-ons from Larry Holmes' era
    Talking of cling-ons..hows wlad?

    Is his next fight in wwe this time?

    Wlad fought a few cling-ons from the Lewis era no doubt, BUT he's fought far more guys that Lewis didn't fight and guys who have came up during Wlad's title reign because his title run has lasted that long. All the guys Wlad has fought that Lennox fought he's beaten them easily and typically early in his career: Botha, Mercer, Jackson, the latest one was Rahman who was never in the fight.

    Some of these fighters did not belong in the ring with Wlad - Rahman had no legs and Mercer had no resistance.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Well that fight was the first anyone found out about it. Wlad was the very first fighter to knock Ray down with a punch to the head and the very first to stop Ray. Old or not that means something when a fighter does that.

    Holyfield first did a little something to Rays punch resistance in the 8th round courtesy of two left hooks

    Tyson was a great fighter, HUGE puncher and one of the most intimidating champs ever. That being said, the only prime great he beat was Spinks, who was really a light heavyweight. Tyson is a level below guys like Evander, Lewis...etc., and a couple of levels below Ali n Louis.
