Sanders was lethal against Wlad, I give him the win over Douglas, I hope you return to the forum soon.
Another vote for Sanders. Douglas was a bit too hittable for my liking, never a good thing against Sanders.
Douglas. He was actually in form for 4 years beating Page, McCall, M.Williams, Berbick, and then obviously Tyson. Sanders resume is very unremarkable outside of the 1 win over Wladimir and he lost to Nate Tubbs, Hasim Rahman, in his prime. So I think Douglas at his best beats Sanders who was very hittable and wide open at times and Douglas would exploit that.
Really depends on if Douglas can survive Sanders blitz early on since he will get hit and will get hit hard. If he can survive then he wins if he can't then Sanders wins. I'd have to favor Sanders a bit since Douglas always seemed a bit chinny to me but I can see it going the other way as well.
Sanders was in better shape against Wlad than he was for Rahman. Douglas wouldn’t press the fight so there’s a decent chance that Sanders’ stamina would hold up, if needed.
This. He had an abysmal camp for Rahman and that one fight has become the defining moment for the "he has no stamina" school of thought.
It makes sense that 10 years past his best , 4 round gas tank , semi retired Sanders would succeed where Mike Tyson failed.
