Could the Corrie Sanders Version of Wladimir have survived like Mitchell did tonight?

    The mistake you're making here is assuming that Sanders and Witherspoon are on the same level, they are not. Sanders was a much better fighter than Witherspoon.

    :lol: I get the impression that alot of guys on this site spend every ounce of their time trying to convince each other the KLITS are not that good :yep ! For the record it isnt a weak heavyweight era . The KLITS are simply so good that they are dominating like no other champs before them . LIVE WITH IT ! :good

    Wlad was hardly KTFO vs Sanders in fact he got up from every knockdown

    And Wlad was way ahead of Mitchell at that age

    he was younger held a form of a world title and was considered the heir apparent to Lewis and considered a threat if they had fought

    Mitchell is 29 just struggled immensely is not considered the next champion or even a threat to the current one

    i dont hate Mitchell and i give him all the credit for last nite but come on

    Wlad at any previous career stage would have had Mitchell in round 1 especially early Wlad who pulled the trigger more

    exactly!

    Sanders was a nasty brawler and heavy hitter... Witherspoon is a dude with a decent jab and straight punches

    that sanders woulda ****ed mitchell up.

    mitchell still got some work to do.. has a big hole defensively.

    You are asking a silly question. There is absolutely NO comparison between Chazz and Sanders, in terms of power, speed, explosiveness, and offensive skills.

    Chazz could never have put Vlad in that kind of trouble. In fact, Chazz was Vlad's sparring partner for a while, and routinely took ruthless, one sided beatings. In no way whatsoever could Chazz threaten Vlad.

    On the other hand, I am 100% confident that Corrie Sanders would have KO'd Seth Mitchell in one round. Inevitable.

    That version of Sanders KO's Mitchell even quicker.

    This is what Sanders used to do to Chazz Witherspoon-level opponents.

    Very nicely stated. The video told wonders. You are correct: that is indeed how Sanders would have handled a Chazz type opponent.

    I am certain that Sanders would have KO'd Seth Mitchell easily. Mitchell is simply too wide open, and too vulnerable.

    Sanders was a deeply flawed fighter, but he had lightning quick handspeed, height, southpaw's advantage, and deadly power in his left. That alone made him too much for most heavyweights.

    Too bad Sanders was such a lazy slug. He failed to live up to his true potential.
