Best Southpaw Heavyweights of all time

Your face is a complacent! atsch

 

Truth hurts
They won't even be hired as sparring partners for the great jack johnson
Hell you won't even imagine how bad they'll get massacred if they fought the likes of Flynn, langford and Mcvey.

 

silly me..your trolling and i bit..well played sir...:rofl:rofl

 

Happy late valentines everyone

 

Moorer and Byrd had the most 'ability' from the OP list

 

atsch:rofl

Jack Johnson participated in an entirely different sport than the K brothers. Either Klitschko could probably walk through five of Johnson's best wins in a single day.

The cold, hard reality: like them or not, the K brothers combination of size, skill, and athleticism makes them a peerless commodity that we really haven't seen outside of a Lennox, Bowe, Golota, etc. It's one of the hardest challenges in sports to get past Wladimir's jab and effectively fight him inside, once you get there, you eat a right hand or you get tied up. His jabs are probably as hard as Jack Johnson's straight right, and both brothers are masters at using range and getting maximum benefit from their size. They're both elite athletes, which makes them an anomaly for men of their size, and they're physical phenoms who both combine elite-level power (moreso Wladimir) with good handspeed for heavyweights, tremendous jabs the both of them, and effective punching. They both have good footwork, can use the ring in offense and in defense (except for Wladimir), and at least Vitali has an ATG chin.

They would both stomp through any era in history outside of the 90's and 00's. So would Lennox, Bowe, a non-insane Golota, Tyson, Holmes, etc. I love the Jack Johnson's, Dempsey's, Frazier's, Marciano's, post-72 Ali's, et cetera, but the reality is that they would be defeated by these men I have mentioned. The Liston's, Louis', pre-72 Ali's, Foreman's and so on would have success, but in general, the size differential, and in many cases the athletic gap, would be too much.

Frazier was great, but he gets the Ruslan Chagaev treatment against Wlad, or the George Foreman beatdown against Vitali. This doesn't make him less great, he just has no business fighting SHW's. The SHW era has arrived and unless you want guys like Byrd and Arreola, who were big for the past eras to be hopelessly outmatched against the K brothers and Lennox Lewis', you need a SHW division.

What is so great about Ibragimov's career? His best wins are against a shot Holyfield and a washed up half retired Shannon Briggs. He drew against Ray Austin getting dropped in the process and Austin is a gate keeper. And lost every second of every round vs Wlad and didn't even try to win and made one of the most boring if not the most boring HW title fight in history. That's an average career at best.

Chagaev? Decent career better the Ibragimov. Sanders? Only good win is Wlad others are average.

None of those guys have had anything close to a great career.

 

you are no better than him. 3000 posts in less than a year and all you post is ****. get a dayjob boy and stop parasitize on other people which i suspect you do

 

Seeing how south paws are tricky to fight it looks good on their resume to have fought the best all time.
