Would the great heavyweights of the past lost to ANY of Wlads opponents?

I can honestly say, I don't think prime Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Foreman, Frazier, Lewis, etc. would have lost to ANY of Wlad's opponents. Am I being too generous to the past greats, or is this generation of heavyweights really that bad? For the record, this is not a knock on Wlad-he's the best heavyweight of today, its just a thought.

 

Chris Byrd is the only one that could potentially spoil that imo, but still very unlikely.

 

Alo no
Homes no
tyson got beat by JBD so possibly
Lewis 2 KO losses so possibly
Frazier no
Foreman..doubtful

 

10 pages, easy.

 

Ali could have a hard time with Povetkin,Pulev, and Haye also Wach would cause problems given his size and granite chin, Ali oved to clinch a lot and drain his opponents energy ,imagine him trying that tactics fro 15 rounds against the 6'8 260 pound Wach

Homles would would have problems with Povetkin,Haye and Byrd

Tyson would have problems with Wach and Povetkin

Lewis might get hit hard by the likes of Haye

Frazier would have problems with Povetkin,Pulev

Foreman would beat them all

 

What the actual ****

 

what?

 

Ali would have lost to (self declared) bum Henry Cooper if they hadn't cut his glove.
Prime Frazier would have been too small against some of the current HW's in his prime, Foreman might have gotten outboxed but that's questionable, and Lewis got clipped by the Atomic Bull and Rahman.
Tyson always had trouble with big HW's because of his size, so he might have lost to some of them.

Truth is every HW can lose in their prime, no matter how good they were. The right punch, the wrong style, bad day, first fight overseas, gassing out, you name it.

 

Ali would have a hard time with Povetkin and Pulev? :blood

 

100% correct

 

Frazier nearly lost a decision to Joe Bugner. He gets beaten by a lot of the huge heavyweights Wlad has defeated. Foreman lost to light hitting boxer Jimmy Young. He loses badly to prime Chris Byrd who hit harder than Young. Tyson lost to the overweight diabetic Buster Douglas so probably would be in tough against some of the huge men Wlad has conquered. Buster at 6 foot 4 inches made Tyson look like a midget in there and controlled him with his long reach for most of the fight. Holmes and Lewis wipe out everybody Wlad has beaten.

 

yup, pre exile ali would outbox pulev but the later version would be in for a hell of a fight

Povetkin has that Joe Frazier tpe about him, didn't work against Wlad because he was getting bombs thrown at him but against ali he could keep walking through punches all night and would have a very good chance

 

Recently Povetkin and Haye could trouble them.

Povetkin is very good imo.

 

This is a joke right??

 

Only to those who won't take off the rose tinted spectacles.

Watch Povetkin-Wach, Povetkin-Takem. Povetkin is very good and could upset the odds when not completely over sized.
