How in the hell was Wlad not in his peak against Corrie Sanders?

:nut Yeah, he was really getting high off that left hook......:rofl

 

These guys go back in forth, 1 day its too much vaseline, sometimes he was drugged, other times, its low blood sugar......:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

His blood sugar was low cos Don King stole a press pass and drugged his water with Vaseline.

Everybody knows that.

 

Then disguised himself as Lamon and KO'd Wlad.

 

And Ali had to cheat agaisnt Henry Cooper.

And Jack Johnson kncoked out by Chonyski and outboxed by Hart.

And Tyson was knocked out by Douglas.

Etc. Etc. So What? Great fighters have bad fights.

 

I think Wlad would say he was too lazy in this fight. While he starts cautious, he's also pawing for a right hand. Wlad 2nd big right hand of the round was a misfire and straight after, Sanders hits him hard with a left, and dominated the fight from then on.

I fear having an awkward style is necessary for the rangy tall Heavyweight champ. Perhaps you could describe Ali's early style as "fluid" but certainly not Ali's late style.

 

Tokyo is better than any fighter Wlad ever beat, let alone fought. When did Ali cheat against Cooper? Don't give me the "extra time" "cut glove" myth. Ali got 5-10 seconds extra at best from that. And he didn't do it, it was Dundee.

 

Angelo Dundee has admitted that he split the glove to buy Ali extra time when Copper had him out on his feet.

I repeat- Angelo Dundee has admitted it.

As for Dougals being better- You sure don't see Chris Byrd loosing to the bums Douglas lost to, so no.

 

Look at the film, Ali got about 5 seconds extra in between rounds. Do you think he would've lost without those 5 seconds? The whole 30 second 1 minute crap is a debunked myth.

Of course Douglas was better, especially Tokyo Douglas. The distinction is important. Douglas improved in the lead ups, but was really only a good fighter in a short period of time. If you think Byrd would've beaten him or was better than the one that beat Tyson that you're delusional or just don't know what you're seeing.

 

You can see within mere seconds of that fight that Wlad is on another level, evtirely, now than he was then.

The difference is amazing. He lacked focus and didn't seem to know how to capitolize on his assets.

He sure as hell does, now, though. Noone comes close to beating the Wlad of 2010, cept maybe his brother.

 

According to Angelo Dundee he would have. It is not a debunked myth accept in your mind. It is a reality. Great fighters, especially when they are young, have bad nights.

So Douglas can improve over his miserable failures, but Wladdy Can't? You are so obviosuly and tranparently seeing what you want to see. Byrd as wins over Holyfield, Vitaly and Tua and that is much better than one win over Tyson.

 

HENDO, were you devastated when Allan Green got **** on by Glencoffe? :think

 

The only part of the OP I agree with is the bit about Chambers being a bit crap.
Wlad is unquestionably a better fighter under Steward than he was before.
