Can Wlad be beat?

Wladimir can be beat but not by Peter. Peter is to slow and his power is overrated. Peter needs a lucky punch.
To beat Waldimir a fighter must be a good technical boxer, fast and powerfull
and the fighter needs a good chin
my favorits to do it are Corrie Sanders(but he has a long way back to gets a titelfight)
Sultan Ibragimov
David Tua (no joke) the Tua of 1997-2000 would beat Wlad and Peter right now
Chagaev (but his promoter won't let this happen)
Lyakhovich (he has the skills and the chin but not the punch)
McCall (he would beat Peter ) maybe he is too slow for wlad but he has the chin and the power.
I'm not sure about Povetkin he needs a real test against a puncher (Tua, McCall, Briggs ) and not Chris byrd before he is fighting Wlad.

 

The only two HW's with a real chance are Peter and Povetkin.

Sam Peter impressed me very much in his last bout while I generally believe Povetkin too rule the HW division in the future. Povetkin has the perfect style too beat Wlad - and I beleive he will do when he gets a shot at him.

Sam Peter might win - Povetkin will propably win.

 

I think Golota might be able to.

 

Golota get KO'ed very quickly

 

Peter wasn't the only one to learn from that fight. A "ready" Wlad should take a "ready" Peter.

 

I don't think these two will have any chance. If Peter goes back to plodding and swinging legacy he might, but not the current boxer Peter. Povetkin is a technician, a custom made style for Wlad.

Someone crude, iron-chinned, pressure type fighter and not necessarily skilled will do the job.

 

Pressure, pressure, pressure, that's what I've been saying all along, and that's why I say a guy like Golota has a chance. Evander too, but Golota can physically apply more pressure.

 

Chagaev probably could, but I honestly haven't seen enough of this guy.

 

I do agree on Tua with you. maybe McCall. Neither Chagaev or Lyakhovitch could do much damage to Wlad.

 

Wlad's always in shape. The way to beat him is to outjab him (fight fire with fire), and/or take away his outside game (be means of high pressure).

 

And do you know any current heavy who could out-jab Wlad? Maybe his brother, that's it.

Agree with you on the pressure. Just give me a motivated fighter, ala Brewster when he just lost his trainer, and it could be a death spell for Wlad.

Btw, Wlad was getting very frustrated against Brock. Who knows what would happen if KO didn't come. Maybe the awkward Brock-like style could do the job too?

 

What's up Dawg?

 

Just shows people were saying 8 years ago Wlad can't be beat. I doubt even they saw him lasting so long :deal.
