Wlad would not be ABLE to fight bums today with the ever dissecting media. The worst opponent he fought in recent times was Mormeck and was badly ridiculed. And yet Mormeck was a champion boxer with a top record. His problem was he was undersized... At 215lbs! A big HW of Ali's era.

As for not KOing anybody in 1 round, true. Against HIS opponents. I don't think Wlad would bang out too many 70's opponents in 1 round, that would be silly, but a 185lb Marciano it is difficult to see Wlad NOT knocking Rocky out in 1 round, or Lamon for that matter. Hell Lamon knocked out Golota in 1 round didn't he!
What? Like Arreola against Adamek and Stiverne? Like Fury against Cunningham and Pajkic? Like Adamek against Cunningham and Chambers? Like Haye against Valuev? Like Pulev against Thompson? Like Helenius against Chisora? When do these heavyweights look good? When they are in with complete bums. They wouldn't have a chance against all time greats like Klits, Lewis, Tyson, Ali, Foreman etc.
