He would go through the Klitschkos like a knife through butter if he was 10 years younger. I believe. Said the best fighter he fought was...Mike Tyson. Just watched this on boxnation. Just shows how wank the Heavyweigh division is now IMO.
bonecrusher would be interesting in this era but I dont think he'd beat the klitschkos, and i'm not even a fan of the klitschkos, but i'm realistic. he definitely wouldnt beat the current version of wlad.
I was dissappointed with that interview tbh, Buncey didnt really get good responses from Rev. James, lots of short & terse answers rather than interesting stuff. If he was around today in his prime he would be a very dangerous opponent
I think Bonecrusher stops Wlad late after being down on points Big time. First heavyweight champ with a bachelor degree. Haha Vitali I dont know. What is Bonecrusher up to these days?
Thats one badass reverend/preacher! Any young punks in the community will surely show up for church events, fundraisers etc I wouldnt want Bonecrusher knocking on my door. Im sure he could encourage some troubled youths to take up boxing. Just some wishful thinking on my part.
Bonecrusher Smith is a gatekeeper in any era and the only reason people still remember his name is because he caught Crackhead Witherspoon sleeping in round 1 and then slow-danced with Tyson for 12 rounds. He could be 10 years younger and the Klitschkos could be ten years older and they would still ruin him.
Who did Wlad ever beat that was better than Bonecrusher? Peter,Chagaev, Brewster,a shot Rahman? All comprarable to smithH2H imo. I believe Vitali has a better chance but who has Vitali beaten? Sanders ok legit win, a green Arreola. Maybe Klithskos can win but I dont think they would ruin too many heavies from the 80's. Here we go im starting a rant
Mike didn't do to him what Donovan Razor Ruddock did to him in his hometown, South Carolina and with Smokin Joe as his cornerman. Check that knockout. Bonecrusher would have the same fate if he was in with either Klitschko and I particularly don't like them. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRWOHzXWleg[/ame]
He was probably joking about beating the Klitschkos. He was an entertaining fighter to watch and could take a punch, but he was a very primitive slugger and wouldn't be anything more than a fringe contender if he was fighting today.
He fought in an era of great fighters, there is no great Heavyweights today ! If Frank Bruno was fighting now he would be undisputed World Champion.
