I'm not sure so much about Vlad's stamina being an issue - I think Vlad is always in amazing shape, amazing shape really especially considering most really really big guys struggle with keeping their weight or at least body fat down - for me it's more that I can't remember the last time I watched Vlad against someone who either had enough real ability or even knew how to fight really - it strikes me that the last times were coincidently the last two times he lost - I GREATLY argue against Vlad being 'faster' - no way in the world was Vlad faster NO WAY in the world - Johnson had the speed and quickness and reflexes of a cat - Johnson lived off his reflexes - Vlad is renowned for his lumberousness - I also argue that 12 rounds was definately NOT an 'uncomfy' distance for Johnson - Johnson fought in many 6 round bouts 4 round bouts 10 round bouts 15 round bouts aswell as 20 rounders - he was not generally a 20 round fighter - and the 45 round distances were only thrust upon him in an attempt at getting him to lose to a White guy end of - i actually think that (other than the 15 round distance) the 12 would suit him best
i could give you 150 thousand reasons why Wlad blows JJ out of the water, i made this thread just to see how much insanity comes out of this place...and no matter what BoxedEars or others would say, the Klit bros aren't my absolute favorites. i would take a jack Dempsey or Marciano over them any day, but that still stop me from admitting that both brothers would steamroll them.
Well, it might and it might not. Granted, Johnson isn't on the technical level of a "Fast" Eddie Chambers and certainly not as big, well-conditioned, or as good of a puncher. That's the only reason Chambers lasted over eleven rounds with Wlad...
Please tell me you are making an ironic joke here BoxedEars? Johnson not on the technical level of Chambers hahaha that's funny!! Not as well conditioned??!!! Aaaaaahahahaha yeah chambers would be fine with 20 rounders right?!! Come on let's just be real Stamina wise neither Vlad nor Chambers can even compare to the Johnson of Jeffries - speed wise Johnson would be much to quick for both also and natural ability wise again it's no contest Johnson hands down - as usual (as with today) it simply comes down to the only advantage Vlad would have to win the fight would be his length and pure power - that's the only reason Vlad would last at all with Jack - without the collosul power and strength he's pretty ordinary - that's why very average fighters like Sanders and chambers were able to beat him
But it's not. :rofl Please explain how you think the fight would pan out, given Johnson has the exact opposite of the style required to beat Wladimir
No, actually, you can't. Not even in fantasy land. Just like I couldn't assure you Morales/Maidana and Khan/Maidana wouldn't go 12. The unlikely does happen.
Since no one said what time this mythical match-up would be held in, I must ask who is "they" and why wouldn't they?
Wlad easily defeats Johnson who was Ko'd, floored, and some say out boxed in three separate fights by men well under the light heavyweight limit. A mismatch.
