Figure skaters started landing quads consistently only about 20 years ago. Was the ice different back in the old days? Want more proof? Compare difficulty on gymnastics high bar routines between now and 50 years ago. Athletes of today are faster, stronger and more skilled. That's the way the progress goes. World population is ever increasing so is the talent pool.
Just one right hand, and Wladimir would panic, fall and go unconscious, in order. Imagine how Wladimir would fight Joe Louis? :rofl In USA he'd be disqualified in the first round for excessive holding.
Louis was p4p one of the best finishers in the history of boxing. Wlad always did poorly vs aggressive fighters. Louis stops him in 5 rounds with Wlad in survival mode after feeling Brown Bombers power and nonstop brutal combination punching. Wlad maybe bigger puncher, but Louis had as much or more skill than Wlad, more heart, and definitely stamina.
Louis was a PURE boxer with tremendous (unenhanced) skills, whereas the Klits are both MASSIVE steroid using cheats with limited skills and only height, reach, and weight advantages. Their height is the only resource either brother would have to save them from an early KO. While Joe Louis was not the smartest Negro boxer in history, he was one of the truly great boxers in boxing history. No Russian has ever existed that comes even close to Joe Louis or Ali.
Bobby Czyz in the Tyson-Botha fight: "ONE RIGHT HAND, THATS ALL IT TAKES...... ONE...RIGHT...HAND!" :smoke
if its disappeared, how do you know its ineffective? clearly by speculation, not observation, yet you seem fully 100% sure of your speculation.
It's also worth noting that one of the reasons why a lot of past fighters came in light was because they were expected to fight for 15 rounds at a fast pace. A lot of these modern 'big' heavyweights would actually be sub 220lbs if they were in proper shape and weren't so fat.
