He stayed well out of the way of anybody good fighting journeymen in Germany till they retired, clearly he knew his limits even before he discovered his jaw was constructed out of the finest crystal. Your boy got beat by Ross "The Boss" Purrity, a garbage fighter with a losing record. He fights knowing one good punch on his china chin will put him on his Frankenstein arse yet again which is why his fights are always rubbish. No heavyweight with a glass jaw will ever be ranked as a great heavyweight. He only holds a belt because there are no good heavyweights anymore.
Wlad tired out vs Purrity...hey shit happens Wlad's champ now so fucking live with it
Uh huh...Joe Louis was also Heavyweight Champion "by default" as was Rocky Marciano as was Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson....hell by your rational the only guys to earn it by having depth in the division are Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Bowe, Holyfield, and Lewis.
Wladimir is THE BEST and not by a little bit either...if you're waiting for Haye why don't you wait til he has actually FOUGHT a heavyweight hell I'd take you pumping up Odlainer Solis before Haye only because Solis has fought all his fights at heavyweight (and he KO'd Haye in the Olympics).
Laing disagreeing with Lyle
I think what people are misunderstanding is, the reason people don't give him credit for beating Sam Peter is because they don't think anything of Peter or anyone else in the division. That's the whole point, it's a shitty division with a mediocre champion. Yeah he has top wins over top contenders like Byrd and Peter, but if people don't think anything of Byrd and Peter then obviously they aren't going to rate those wins.
