Corrie Sanders vs Ali. Your prediction? Lets have some fun before i go back down the pub to drink away my hangover.
A prime beast mode authentic top 5 ATG HW Larry Homes couldn't KO a parkinsons suffering old man Ali but no stamina Sanders ko's the best version of him in just 3 rounds? A guy who was never stopped in his life and Sanders is the guy to do it just becaue he turned Wald over?
I would tend to agree with that. Louis is still #2 all time but he would need a lot of coaching to be a main contender today, just too primeval in style.
And yet Tyson "I Hit Myself With an Uppercut" Fury is in the top five. Louis at his best has a superior and more varied delivery system than most every heavyweight that currently fights today. If Heavyweights were to beat him, it's due to size, rather than skill-set.
You keep saying Wlad is an example of a complete shutdown of his opponents. Uh, no. Fighters like Mayweather and Ward would be much better examples. Like it or not, both of them are more skilled technically than Wlad's jab and hold bull****. Mayweather's win over Marquez alone is better than Wlad's last few opponents. And before you bring up Ward's fight against Kessler, he would have won a clear UD even without the headbutts. You also say that Wlad makes good opponents look like bums. Wrong again. What Wlad does is make average at best opponents look even worse.
The only reason Sanders gets hyped by the Klitards is because he used Wlads head as a speedbag. While Sanders was a good fighter, he can never be confused with an ATG like Ali. Lets remember here that Sanders was one punch KO'd by an very ordinary Nate Tubbs in 2 rounds. Wlad, is in my top 20 heavyweights, but has reigned over a weak group of fighters.
He's just as amateurish and primitive looking as world champion soccer/football, tennis players or track and field athletes from the 1930s. Boxing is absolutely no different and (like all other others) has developed by leaps and bounds in the last 80-90 years.
No, I need something more specific than that. If you're going to say he s primitive, then back up that statement with something concrete...point to specific things. Why was he primitive?
