When are you guys going to realize that Wladdy is so good he makes everyone else look so bad? The man has much more talent than you're giving him props for.
I am a very unbias person and I give credit where credit is due. I beat up on Wlad cuz his fights are excruciating to watch but there is no doubt in my mind that he's the man at HW.
None the less, who has Wlad fouught of any substance that you can really say, "Yeah, he just Hopkins'ed his ass..." Who? Botha? A blown up Chris Byrd and then an Old version? Maybe an old Ray Mercer or a plodding Jameel MCcline? How bout a 38 yr old Cory Sanders or an out of shape Lamon Brewster(1st time)? How about possibly an untested Calvin Brock or maybe Ray Austin... Sultan was just damn afraid of the right hand... almost pitifully. Then we come to Tony Thompson who used to spar with Wlad who fell into the sparing partner role just like Steve Forbes did against Oscar...
Who are these powerhouses that Wlad is making look bad that look GOOD normally.
I'm not blaming Wlad for that though. It's not his fault the div has nobody of substance. Anyone they put in front of him he beats for the most part and although he doesn't look good doing it he is KOing these guys...
But PLEASE... PLEASE, don't say that Wlad is so good he makes these guys look bad. Cuz most of them are lack luster shot or overhyped fighters to begin with...

Agree with Pride, Wlad was a much better fighter a couple of years ago. He has not improved at all and in fact is only really hard to beat as opposed to taking the division by storm which he is easily capable of.
Wlad has had some tough fights....Sultan tried to KO Ray Austin and therefore opened himself up to being hit and FLOORED vs Wlad Sultan waited to counter and Wlad being smart wasn't about to let himself get countered.
Thompson was like a gigantic Winky Wright he had his guard up virtually the entire time and yeah Wlad was frustrated to fight him because very few of the punches were landing flush as they usually do BUT Wladimir finished Thompson and so therefore he should get SOME credit for KO-ing a guy #1 with a very good defense and #2 a guy who had never been knocked down much less KO'd.
I don't understand this ....Wlad KO's Ray Austin and has shit talked about him, Wlad gets a UD vs Sam Peter (RIGHT AS PEOPLE SAID WLAD'S CAREER WAS OVER AND SAM PETER IS THE UNDEFEATED POWER PUNCHING HEIR APPARENT) and has shit talked about him, Wlad KO's Tony Thompson and has shit talked about him.
What could Wlad do to make you not talk shit? Who is there out there to fight that will actually FIGHT Wlad and not just stand there and have gigantic punches repeatedly crash off their noggins? Who's left?
Sam Peter: fighting Vitali
Chagaev: injured
Valuev: fighting Ruiz
Arreola: not ready
Haye: not ready
Povetkin: scheduled to fight Wlad next
And if Wlad KO'd all those guys back-to-back-to-back-etc ....people would still post bullshit about how Wlad isn't great and isn't even all that good and how they are wishing for someone to "dethrone him"
Well Pride, you can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets filled first![]()
Wlad is the greatest heavyweight champion of the modern era. He makes other people look bad. Very bad.
