Chambers should of watched this

You realize that Frazier would be the shortest opponent of Wlad's entire career? And that Wlad hits more accurately than Foreman while being much harder to hit?

If Wlad was just about size, why did he demolish McCline, Austin, Thompson, who were his size?

 

Of course Frazier "could" knock out Wlad, but it is much more realistic that he would be pummeled to a bloody pie from the outside than ever getting close to Wlad's fragile chin.

 

Fraizer is 5'11"
Haye 6'4(or 6'3) See the difference?
Fraizer never was a speed monster. Fraizer prime weight is 200-215 pounds.
He did not have a monster chin (but he had a great heart and could handle accumulative damage from Ali) but he was iced flat against Foreman. Wlads in terms of power compete with foreman. Lot of fighters could land on him, lot of them did. How can anyone say that Fraizer will beat Wlad easy..... Or beat at all.

 

mate, you are not the first to claim that... nor there were no guys who didn't try - Chagaev, a decent technican with clearly above average speed and footwork, is the most recent.

It just doesn't work partly because they are now 20-30lb bigger than those guys in the past and can hardly sustain that kind of bobbing and waving for 3minutes of the round (as pointed out, neither those old timers could do it). But a more important reason is that WK is such a big guy who's incredibly fast on his feet so that he can avoid rushes easily.

Take a look at Chambers, arguably the fastest guy in division. He looked slower than WK! Chambers footwork was just not match for WK's and Chambers couldn't close the distance. I sincerely doubt the other greats from the past cloud - WK is so big, so quick, and so skilful. You got to have a guy to match his physical advantages AND the technical skill.

WK is a basic boxer - my ass, if that were every 6'6'' lumber jack in the past and now would dominate HWs... since they don't, there must be another reason.
