Louis gets KOed badly. I'm sorry but Wladimir is bigger,punches harder and is the better boxer. Joe eats right hands til he goes out. I find it funny how Nostalgia puts blinders on even the most educated boxing fans. Wlad is a horrible match up for any small heavyweight not named Mike Tyson.
If Joe comes out rapid fire like he did against Shmeling he could stop Wlad in 3-4 rounds. This isn't a scared David Haye "The Pink Bomber" throwing one bomb at a time Joe would be faster, aggressive, and have more stamina than Wlad. Wlad never did well with aggressive fighters.
Purrity, Brewster, and Sanders better than a highly skilled puncher like Louis? :rofl More like a Wlad fanboy dream.
Please quote where I said that. Prime, refined Wlad was born of the first Peter fight. The old Wlad was an offensive-minded fool who didn't always protect himself.
Soccer got faster paced.... Great players create their own space, every single standout player from the past would dominate today's game. The refereeing is hugely forgiving towards offensive players, most tackles have been outlawed, far better playing surfaces, far better boots, far better training methods.
You're the one dreaming Despite fighting in the weakest era ever....Vlad still managed to get KTFO. Unlike Vlad....Joe could get off the canvas and continue fighting..:deal Klit got blasted by Lamon Brewster and a part-time golfer...not to mention FORCED TO QUIT by the dreaded ROSS PURRITY... Vlad FIGHTS SCARED regardless of the opponent.....pulls straight back......keeps his feet too wide....and drags his jab down to his waist...Joe would be all over that.... Joe fought a bum of the month tour Vlad fought a bum of the month CAREER...and still managed to get LAID OUT...
