Vitaliy isn't Carnera. It's 50/50 fight for me. VK is far more talented than Primo and Baer and also poseses better skills.
Exactly. I guess it's blasphemy to these nostalgic fools to compare any fighter to their perceived greatest of all time fighters. I clearly siad I haven't voted since I can't pick based on the individual fighter's strengths & weaknesses. Still they claim I'm a nuthugger.................:rofl
djanders has the balls to claim Vitali wouldn't last as long vs. Louis as Carnera did. That's ****in A ridiculous and he should be laughed out of the forum for such blatant stupidity.
**** off fleabag. :good You are clearly a delushional hater who thinks he can talk **** in the Classic section and not get called on it.
Anyone who compares the good and bad attributes of both fighters would realize this is a 50/50 fight.
Modern athletes have advantages of steroids, performance enhancing drugs, modern weight training science etc. We know for a fact Vitali has used such drugs to grow from the 200lb bean pole he once was, we know he into the 240+ SHW he is today. Thats why modern heavyweights are muscularly bigger and stronger. And yes that makes a big difference in boxing. Give Louis a level playing field and I think he stops Vitali mid-late in a competitive bout, as it is Vitali is probably just too strong but thats not really a fair comparision
When you compare Klitschko's skillset, chin, etc. to that of Primo Carnera you lose any credibilty you thought you had. Thanks for playin' though, we have some nice parting gifts................
Nobody is using the word better here. We are arguing that he was "technicaly superior" which is not the same thing.
