Nate Tubbs vs Corrie Sanders - What happened? (Video)

Except George Foreman's 'second best' win wasn't stopping Bert Cooper in two rounds.

What was Sanders' second-best win? Cooper? Czyz? DuPlooy?

Is it remotely close to knocking out Ken Norton? Knocking out Joe Frazier a second time? Knocking out Ron Lyle? Knocking out Michael Moorer? Knocking out George Chuvalo? Knocking out Gerry Cooney? Knocking out Pierre Coetzer?

On top of that, George was never wasted in two rounds by guys like Nate Tubbs.

Sanders was an average heavyweight who became a one-hit wonder. There was nothing special about him.

 

The same Cooper had Mike Moorer in Trouble ( in a great fight ) and floored Holyfield in a title match. Holyfield, I think got some favoritism from the referee in his home town on the count! The fact that Sanders blew Cooper out ( in specular fashion, watch the video ) means something.

Norton was iced early by big punchers twice.

I'm not comparing Sanders to Foreman; I'm comparing Sanders blowout over Wlad to Foreman's blow out over Frazier. Frazier was dusted twice by Foreman, and nearly TKO'd by Bonevena. Those were the two best punchers he fought.

You could argue what Sanders 2nd best win is. Cooper, Czyz ( Holyfield had a much tougher time with Czyz, De Leon, Duplooy, etc...the underlining theme is Sanders blew them all away early and some of the same guys gave lineal heavyweight champions trouble! It's not only who you face but how impressively you win.

These days about half view Wlad as a top 10 ATG.., and Sanders has a blow out win here too.

Sanders, an average heavyweight you say? HAHA, very wrong. He had very fast hand, big time power and was a decent boxer. He was rated as high as #3 on Ring Magazine's annual ratings, and those who followed heavyweight boxing in the 1990's and early 2000's knew who he was.

Just come clean Double, you are bashing Wlad because Sanders beat him. To pivot, would you like to talk about any number of champions who lost to a lesser talent than Sanders? I've got quite a few for you if you want the names.

 

F ... F ... Fireman Flynn!

 

Russell you can add Tommy Morrison losing his WBO Title to Micheal Bentt in 93 sec
and John Ruiz being ko in 19 sec by David Tua.

 

Hey BCS u ran away again panicking again.

just like wladdie from retired fattie nobody corrie sanders, u learn well from your hero.

 

Why would you compare those fights? Frazier was the The Heavyweight champion who held every belt in existence.
Sanders was a past prime cherry picked non-ranker who never won a belt even in his prime years.
Foreman doesn't have a loss like that to compare to Wlads , but if he did it you could argue Foreman getting iced by Gerry Cooney in two round would be a fitting comparison . But this is reality we're in here so it was 4MAN who stopped Gerry in the second.
Real ATGs don't get blitzed by past primers and then run from the rematch against said past prime non-ranker.

 

We know that Sanders had a crappy resume outside of Wlad and proved to be tough against Vitali and Rahman.
Imo his best other wins were (1) Purrity, who was 16-2-1 in his last 19 fights leading to Sanders, beating Gonzales and Hipp, while drawing with Morrison and dropping decisions to Rahman and Grant, and (2) Cole who was the best cruiser of the 90s and had fairly recently gone 1-1 with Kirk Johnson. He also got blown away despite never being stopped until that point.

 

Sanders is best described as "very dangerous"... But due to many factors, some of his doing and some not, he never got beyond that classification.

It's no secret he wasn't the hardest worker or most ambitious regarding his career.

 

Sanders was a 6'4 southpaw with very fast hands and excellent power,decent feet, he came the closest to putting Vitali (Steel wiskers) on his rear end. He would be a danger for any Heavyweight even Lennox.

With that being said he also did zero roadwork for Rahman because of a leg injury & had Rahman seriously hurt several times before CS winded. C.S. was not known for his consistant fitness, he really didnt love boxing

Speed kills, Speed mixed with power is deadly....too bad CS didnt have the dedication because he was a dangerous man...put him on the list with Shavers for Danger

 

Sanders was a talent anyone who can’t see that doesn’t know what they are watching. 6’4 southpaws with fast hands and explosive power don’t grow on trees. His resume is light on names at heavy but he got Wlad a ATG on his resume, he had a great fight with both Vitali and Rahman where he was one punch away from winning.
Sanders was a big time talent!

 

u fail

 

u hav

 

How bout i flip that and say anybody who thinks Sanders was a massive talent doesn't know what they are watching and are only blowing smoke up his ass because they are Wladimir Klitschko arse lickers.

Anybody who knows what they are watching would see that Sanders was riddled in flaws and technical errors.

For starters the guy had literally no defense whatsoever. He was wide open with zero upperbody movement or head movement and thats critical for a guy often fights squared on with low hands. He brought his hands back low every time without any defensive responsibility and thats how Tubbs one shotted him and how Raham floored him off the ropes before stopping him.

Whats that m8?? Roadwork?? Is that even true or has it just become a forum myth? Either way , plenty of HWs don't do any roadwalk.. Are you aware your idol Wladdy never did any roadwork during any of his camps?
Sounds like excuses to me.

Sanders was a guy with great speed ,decent footwork and good power . He wasn't no lost ATG talent just like Wilder who has great speed and great power isn't a talent. They had good attributes but would be exposed at top level 10x outa 10.
Perrier Coatzer was just as good , if not better than Sanders , but nobody rates him because he didn't ice an overrated Klitschko in the first round.
Fanboys like you do great men like Sanders more of a disservice than anything else. A crazed fanboy has the ability to make one root against his own team. Thats you and Doza in a nutshell!
