The three fighters that have stopped Wladimir were Puritty (249 pounds) Corrie Sanders (a trim 225, usually heavier) and a 226 Lamon Brewster. All good to big heavies. I think stopping him as just as much as being able to touch that chin as anything else. Having a long reach and height certainly lets you reach him easier, and not losing power punching up as well. The "shortest" fighter that stopped him was the 6'2 Lamon Brewster... Sanders was 6'4 and Ross 6'3... Though I think Ross was taller then that to be honest. Now, what's the smallest fighter that you think could stop Wladimir?
are we talking about past or present fighters because the smallest fighter that could stop wlad would be Marciano or Dempsey... If we're talking past fighters.
Height-wise, I suppose 5'10 guys Marciano and Tyson. I haven't seen enough of 5'7 Langford to even form much of an opinion. The footage is unclear, and he's not fighting tall men. Marciano was 185 pounds, so he might be the lightest I'd say could do it too. Along with Dempsey and maybe Schmeling. But maybe I'm forgetting someone else too.
Marciano could do it but I wouldn't bet on it. In fact, I would bet quite a lot on him to lose. A young Joe Louis would be my pick. Hand speed and punches in bunches.
Possibly not too well, but I dont think it could happen. Hearns' own chin would cave in at a mere suggestion of a Wlad jab.
I pick wladimir to lose to rocky because wladimir can NOT fight on the inside. nor does he like to be roughed up. Marciano would rough him up and rip him apart on the inside. If he lands the SuzieQ- Fight over. plus, rocky would be able to take everything wlad has, and would certainly not give up. Rocky Marciano TKO 10 Wladimir Klitschko
marciano did face some big punchers,but wlad would be the biggest puncher definitely.plus marciano cuts easily.and he's going to take some hard jabs from wlad.not saying that wlad would beat him,but wlad stopping marciano is possible.
