    We all saw what became of Primo Carnera at the hands of Max Baer. So no, Wlad Klitschko would not be too big for Max Baer.

    Watch the first round of Baer vs Louis. Louis jabs his head off, hitting him pretty much at will. Wlad would do the same. Baer can certainly flatten Wlad if he lands, but he's not going to land.

    No, it’s an unfathomable take.

    Wlad would need to be patient here while trying to solve those sweet, utterly complex defensive maneuvers by Max. Actually think Wlad has a chance here as long as he doesn't get discouraged by missing so many punches.

    Max is underrated and he'd have a live punchers chance of beating Wlad.

    But you don't need "to make a reasonable case" for Wlad beating anyone. Hes kinda above that.

    Wlad would be dreaming alright, once that right hand from Baer connects to his chin.

    I agree, it would only connect in Baer's dreams.

    If he's sponsored by Hugo, he might just Boss the fight?

    It's a big ask!

    If I didn't know any better, I think you think that Wlad Klitschko would beat up Max

    I can't stand Wlad. But, he likely pummel Baer like Louis did.
