    This would be quick and brutal.
    Baer was a tough guy against smallish
    and inept men, but Wlad is a super athletic specimen. The strength, size
    and sheer physical advantages of Wlad
    would overwhelm Baer quickly. Povetkin
    would KO Baer nevermind Wlad.

    Bear was pretty good against totally a inept, big man also...Primo Carnera.

    Of course, Wladimir is far from inept

    People underestimate Baer because he was an underachiever. Baer had an iron chin and a thunderous punch. If Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster could KO Klitschko, Baer certainly could!

    Oh don't even mention Primo Carnera please. The man was a glass chinned spastic oaf, completely useless. Golovkin could stop Primo Carnera, anybody could stop Primo Carnera.

    Baer wouldn't land a punch on Wlad. This is a gignatic mismatch. Wlad is way taller, 35 (!) lbs heavier, way more skilled and polished. Baer on the other hand is too sloppy, too slow, too crude. And I reiterate once again, he's a natural CW, he wouldn't even campaign at HW if he jumped in a time machine and travelled from 1931 to 2015.

    How many of you guys would give crude CW sluggers like Marco Huck a chance with Wlad? Zero. Same chances Baer has.

    Carnera's manager - a guy who would usually be biased towards his protégé - was on record saying that Primo regularly was knocked down in sparring by guys 50-75lbs lighter than him 'after being tapped lightly on the chin'. Carnera had the very definition of a glass jaw.

    this would be a case of the bigger these two come the harder they fall. baer is easily tapping out their weak chins.

    :roll:

    He started as a circus freak, after all. He suffered from gigantism, that usually debilitates people a lot (Valuev really is the exception of the rule, and even him got a lot of troubles physically like bone problems)

    Someone noticed him and proposed him the boxing career. The fact he even became champion would be proof of how weak the division was, but no, he was in the golden era, so there's always someone trying to make him anything else than a walking zombie

    Hey man, you said Baer was good against smallish inept heavyweights so I was merely pointing out that his most famous win was against a large totally inept man. I was in no way claiming that beating Carnera indicates Max would have a chance with Wladimir.

    Wlad knocks him out. Baer was a clubfighter with a vicious right hand and an iron chin, but he was so unrefined it's not even funny.
