First of all even severe critics of Wlad don't say he has an "egg shell" chin. That's pure hater bs. But here's one that's based on naked truth....
:rofl I couldn't have said it better. Here's another one. Put those glasses on and you see one baaaaaddd bruthuh who can KO any HW today. Take...
We may never agree on anything else on this board - and while I know your 99.9% number is for effect - I highly agree with your post :good
Oh, a few years later this next big thing in the HW div. (Brew) was all washed up :huh BG, you obviously hate Peter, and don't think much of Wlad....
I have too, and what you're saying is that a more skilled smaller guy can win a fight. Sure. But size does matter very much when the skill level...
And heavy underdog, fading Max Schmeling KO'd Joe Louis. Does that mean Louis had a paper mache jaw (well it wasn't too good) and will never...
Yeah, he could punch, especially in an era with smaller HWs. 200# J Quarry schooled Lyle. :yep Two of Ron's big fights were the too quick stoppage...
Liston couldn't kill CW Machen, who is a small version of Chris Byrd, who Wlad destroyed 2X. Give us more of your enlightened boxing edicts :nut
I'll jump into your sparring w/BG. If Wlad's clinching is "excessive" then so was Ali's and many other fighters. This is getting so lame. And...
I posted a short comment re Peter vs JF in another thread. There are more fans here who overrate the past than ones that overrate the present. I...
The likes of Brewster and Sanders would have beaten most 70s HWs. Well even without a good uppercut I think Wlad would be very competitive vs...
Are you trying to be funny? I think many would argue that point. Ringo was never known as some very skilled guy. A tough bruiser yes, but 100%...
Makes sense. A guy who went life and death 3X with smaller HWs like Frazier & Norton would utterly destroy Wlad... the 70s were the best era... HW...
BG, Joe was vulnerable in the early rounds. Bonavena, smaller and not as powerful as Peter, KD Joe twice almost stopping him in their first fight....
:good That seems to be missing from many fans fact set. And :good post booradley.
