    He was faster than Wlad and Vitali and had incredible counters, but was so lazy he didn't train or dedicate himself to the sport like he should have. He relied upon the counter left. Sanders also had the size.

    Just got finished watching Wlad-Sanders and damn he was a beast. He could have been an ATG. More natural talent than both Klit brothers.

    But he was never in shape. He wasn't even in shape against Wlad rofl.

    That's exactly my point. Imagine if he properly trained and had a passion for the sport. He made vitali look slow and was noticeably quicker than Wlad.

    No the most wasted talent in the heavyweight division award is still safely in the hands of Mr Gerry Cooney

    Sanders would have bombed Cooney out early.

    Yes he is

    and still one of the hardest punchers ever / best hw southpaw ever

    all without training properly, he had scary natural talent

    he was a danger to anyone early in a fight, before running out of gas, which always happened

    Also can't remember anyone getting to Vitali's chin like Sanders, except maybe Lewis. Vitali had doe eyes in his fight against Corrie, so weary of that left hand.

    Can't see it myself but with men like cooney and sanders you can never rule any thing out. Of course others could make good arguments for page and Witherspoon

    Only man to REALLY beat Wlad. Yeah some others did it too, but they were getting pummeled and were serverely outskilled before Wlad ran out of gas. Sanders bombed his ass early and often. Sanders speed flabbergasted Wlad. He was like a cobra, went from 0 to 60 in a blink of an eye.
