Gene Tunney versus Wlad Klitschko!

We agree here luf:
1. Tunney was better.
2. Nowhere did I suggest that Iggy wouldn't have been a big deal back in Tunney's time.
So what's your argument all about?

 

1. I didn't exactly compare Sultan to Tunney.
2. Iggy did exactly what he was supposed to do in beating Briggs, likewise Holyfield, no matter how faded Evander was. How can he be faulted for that?
3. During that time period Wlad was champion, who would you say fought any better than Ibragimov? Chagaev......the guy would basically stood cluelessly before Wlad, got decked and basically got the **** beat out of him? Haye the Toe Man, who failed to distinguish himself with all his cowardly flopping to the canvas?
Sultan Ibragimov wasn't nearly as bad as you say he was.
Again, referring to the cleverest WK opponent and how he survived 12 rounds with the champ as a framework in assessing Tunney's chances vs Wlad is not the same thing as comparing Ibragimov to Tunney.

 

Even though he was stopped in the 11th , Thompson with a bum knee done better against Wlad than this guy.
Austin was one of the better prime guys he faced and he fought him to a draw even flooring him late. And Austin was a 3/10 type of HW contender.

That it shouldn't be taken for granted, it should be compared properly.

 

Wlad knock him out, too big

 

Tunney is too accurate, too fast, stops wlad late.

 

Total bull**** opinion. When did Wlad ever put it together and deal with an opponent's follow up onslaught after being decked?[/QUOTE]

I imagine it would be something like the Klitschko v Chambers fight.
Wlad would win every round and knock Tunney out late or simply pound out a lopsided points win.

 

Could have guessed that the buttbrothers-in-arms would have been trolling this thread.

 

Who they???

 

He lost a step in speed and power and raw athleticism.
But he was still a great fighter at that point.
Don't you think?

 

Dino and Herol of course. They're attracted to Klitschko threads like rats to cheese

 

I think the matchup is that ludicrous I can't even seriously consider that anyone truly would pick Tunney

 

who is the atg wlad beat?
