Either Klitschko, McCall, and imagined versions of Wilder, Ortiz, and Zhang could do it. I’d expect Wlad to pull it off.
Mills was just too old and small to be handling heavyweights.
Haye by knockout. He was a lot better.
Walk in the park for Wlad.
Stiverne was a lot like Liston. Stumpier reach and crappier work rate, but also 240 and used to fighting full sized heavyweights.
Wilder did the minimum deeper into his reign. In the first Stiverne fight and his earlier defenses, he let his hands go a lot more.
5-4-1 Taylor
Correct, but also the only top 10 heavyweight I can think of who had lost three out of four and was coming off a loss. Guess Holyfield did it...
How it was is that Vitali was crowned Ring champion for beating Sanders. How it was is that Don King didn’t even want Ruiz and Byrd to unify...
Just another case of "How it was" v. "How you think it should've been."
Don’t care.
I was at that fight. Sanders was more game than Byrd ever could’ve been on that night.
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...
No. Sanders was far more dangerous.
