    Of course he would.

    The first person to mention size should remember that Corrie Sanders had enough size to beat Wlad and he'd be about 10lbs bigger, if he was in shape. The gulf in quality is far superior to that 10lbs. Byrd also had enough size for Vitali.

    Frazier was a great fighter obviously, but he was a small heavyweight who could not get inside of vitali or wlad as often as he would like, and he never felt power like theirs in his entire career except for when he fought Foreman. He could maybe catch Wlad with a hook, but I sense that Wlads physical and technical advantages would win the day. Vitali would beat the **** out of him. Flush uppercuts from Lewis are just simply more than anything Frazier could offer.

    Don't be an idiot and use the Byrd example. Byrd got his ass kicked by an injured Vitali.

    Wlad, possibly. Vitali, no way.

    Watch the fight again.

    Byrd took Vitali's punches and outboxed him. Byrd may not have dominated Vitali but he did show something which is relevant to this discussion.

    He'd kill Wlad, it'd be close vs Vitali.

    I'd favor him over both, but I'd be more confident placing a bet on him over Wladimir.

    :patsch No he wouldnt .
     
  14. Size matters not as Yoda would say. Joe's left hook puts Wlad to sleep for sure if it hits him in the 1st or 12th. Vitalii would be cut up and lose by late TKO. Vitali has paper skin and Wlad has a glass jaw.

    Joe just took too much punishment for my liking to favor him over huge punchers who also happen to be big, skilled, and athletic. He's going to get hammered trying to get inside to land that left hook and tied up like an octopus once he gets there.
