Corrie Sanders vs Nate Tubbs

Nate Tubbs is ATG didn't ya know

 

corrie sanders was middling at his best, and since this means that he was shot to shyt old retired when he easily killed wlad in seconds, kliturds gotta pretend corries an atg.


but they only pretend it after prime wlad got instantly destroyed. they thought he weas shyte before that.

 

he didn't take Tubby seriously and
got KTFO like Lewis did against Rahman
in their first fight...

Lewis was off filming 'Oceans Eleven' with
Waldo in Vegas just days before he has a
fight against Rahman in South Africa!!!

and got KTFO brutally!!! :dead

 

Watch the fight, I believe it's on Youtube.

Regardless, that's how heavyweight boxing is. Maybe the most unpredictable of weight classes.

People forget almost every heavyweight champion in history was in serious trouble from mediocre fighters. Why would it be such a surprise that the likes of Corrie Sanders, a big chinned but average chin and conditioning heavyweight would suffer a shock stoppage early in his career?

Larry Holmes was almost stopped against Renaldo Snipes
Rid**** Bowe badly hurt against Herbie Hide
Joe Louis down against Galento
Jack Johnson down against middleweight Stanley Ketchel
Wlad down and hurt pretty badly by Darvaryl Williamson
Ali down and hurt (badly in one case) against two sub-190 pounders in Doug Jones and Henry Cooper

Why don't people make threads about how Ken Norton was stopped by Jose Luis Garcia and feign surprise at that?

 

Who knows exactly how a punch lands and affects people. Sanders took a lot worse shots later in his career and never got hurt like the Tubbs fight.
That's not entirely true, he took his final shot (gunshot) saving his daughters life.

 

yet lewis ducked him shamelessly.

 

easy answer, either doesn't fit their agendas, or they have no idea.

 

yethe didn't , since sanders couldn't even manage a title shot.


ur lies so easy to destroy mate.

 

Sanders has gotten really overrated by a lot of people. You can say he's this myth when it comes to his ability and how he was this feared fighter whom everyone ducked.

Sanders wasn't exactly in a position to get ducked by Lewis. when Lewis was champion. Sanders did go undefeated in a 13 fight period from the Tubbs loss to the Rahman fight but it's not like he was facing any top contenders. When he faced a contender in Rahman, he lost, and Rahman got a title shot at Lewis.

People mention that Sanders was "discussed" and "being considered" as a possible Lewis opponent and Lewis didn't face him, but many fighters are "considered" as possible opponents for the big names. The list would go on and on if you were to name all the fighters who were being "considered" as a possible opponent for a big name fighter and they never end up fighting.

Sanders had his strengths, dangerous early on with his speed and power in that left hand, but his actual skills weren't anything special. His defense, technical skills, stamina, punch variety, etc...weren't that impressive. He was a pretty good fighter but not nearly as good as peopleC often Klitschko fanatics, claim he was. You can say he caught lightning in a bottle with the Wlad destruction.

 

It happens. Boxing is unpredictable and things just happen like that sometimes.

Evander Holyfield faced George Foreman, Mike Tyson twice, Lennox Lewis twice, Rid**** Bowe 3 times, and guess who did the most damage to Holyfield with a single shot to the head? John Ruiz.

You look at Sumbu Kalambay and it's hard to believe he was taken out by one shot from Michael Nunn.

After being dropped and hurt by the left hooks of Sonny Banks and Henry Cooper, you'd think there's no way Muhammad Ali could survive Sonny Liston.

 

He hit Sanders on the chin.

 

Merchant explained at the time before the Wlad fight how everyone was avoiding Sanders because the reward wasn't worth the risk. He was not the greatest boxer, but his speed and power and southpaw style early could've posed a lot of trouble for Lewis given how slow he was.
Besides the flash KO by Tubbs, nobody had an easy fight with Sanders in his prime.

 

He just got caught clean on the button by a heavier man. Heavyweight boxing does this, no guarantees in any fight if it's not your night.

 

I just saw a re run of Tubbs getting sparked in one round by Lionel Butler today funnily enough.

He was fighting way way way past his best for years. But that does not mean he was not once a decent HW and can still bang a bit.
