Look let's be realistic here. Wlad/Vitali/Lewis would dominate any era of HW boxing

Gee, that almost makes sense. Can you go back to school, learn English, and come back with a properly composed sentence to explain what you're trying to ask?

 

What's your argument please. Explain?

 

A fantastic post! :good

 

Stopped reading right there. atsch

andrewa1,

So what if he got knocked down?

Did he get back up?

Ali was young.

Wlad was knocked OUT, three times in his mid 20's.

Ha! Oh my!

Wlad had BETTER footwork and reflexes than Ali???

So there's no way Ali could have beaten Wlad, based on the fact that he had a low knockout ratio?

Uneducated? Ha!

If I was you, I'd start watching some boxing before coming on here and talking nonsense.

You're talking, without saying anything!

You can't answer the question.

How was Wlad more athletic?

Wlad is very athletic for his size, and in his own right.

But he's not as athletic as Ali was.

The fact that you say Wlad had better footwork, PROVES that you have no idea what you're talking about.

When and where?

It is absurd.

You think because sprinting and swimming records have been broken, that boxers today are better overall with more skills.

That's not the case, and you know it, because you can't counter.

Name the best fighters of all time from ANY weight class of your choice.

Name the top 5 or top 10, and we'll see how many modern fighters make the list. :good

What you mean is, you CAN'T answer!

How can they not be relevant??

ALL of your posts are saying the same thing - that boxing in your opinion, has improved like other sports.

But when I set you a simple task, all you can come back with, is what's highlighted above.

Yes thanks!

Now tell me who the best LW of all time was, and tell me when he fought?

:good

 

Another great post!

I agree entirely.

A lot of that made me laugh. :good

 

Wow!

You talk about Ali as though he was a SFW

He may have been smaller than Wlad, but he was still a 6'3 HW.

Ali would have a better shot than Louis, because despite how good Louis was, Ali was a better boxer, with more speed and better footwork.

You would know that if you'd seen actual footage of both fighters.

 

Fantastically bad, as I already exposed.

 

Again, already exposed this tripe.

 

Another epic fail on your part. I shouldn't let myself be drug into debate with someone who clearly has the intelligence of a cucumber, but dang its fun seeing you talk about the world being flat.

 

Exposed as tripe already, next!

 

I've probably watched more of both fighters than you have, the impossible superhuman athleticism (that is, the kind to defy the laws of progress) you attribute to Ali was lacking when I watched him. What you fail to understand is that one of the reasons Ali was so great was because he took advantage of his size better than almost anyone ever had to that point. When he first came out, 6'3 was huge. He used his height, reach, reflexes and workrate to outland his opponents and wear them down, the same thing LL and the K's do, except size has gotten much bigger and they also have the added element of power. Louis is a better matchup because he has more power, and since LL and the K's are just supercharged versions of Ali, who lacks the power to ko them, he would have absolutely no chance while Louis would have a punchers chance.

 

andrewa1,

The only thing that has been exposed, is your complete LACK of boxing knowledge.

 

andrewa1,

What the hell are you talking about?

I didn't say they didn't count. But you keep constantly going on about his knockdowns, as though it somehow proves that he wouldn't have been able to beat Wlad. You're also completely ignoring the fact that Wlad has actually been knocked out three times.

You seriously think that Wlad has BETTER footwork than a peak Ali?

atsch

You've answered nothing!

You'd be good in politics.

You speak, but you don't say anything.

What do you mean I can't counter?

I've asked you a few simple questions, about 5 times, and you can't come back with anything.

Swimming records have been broken, yes.

Sprinting records have been broken, yes.

But how does that mean that boxing has improved overall?

It doesn't!

Again, just because Usain Bolt can run faster than Carl Lewis, that does not mean that boxing has improved.

NAME ME THE BEST TEN FIGHTERS OF ALL TIME, FROM ANY WEIGHT CLASS OF YOUR CHOICE.

Let's see how many modern fighters make the list.

PROVE me wrong. :good

Go and find an adult, and then ask them to find a dictionary and look up the word irony.
