Just for Jowcol, an era comparison! Do you think that Buddy and Max could have won titles in the Heavyweight division as it exists, now? Who would fare better in this era of giants? (Without the Klits)
max could beat wilder and maybe even old klitscko. buddy not so much, i'm not that impressed by max but far less by buddy.
Maxie would have been soundly outboxed by Wlad,...just maybe would he have reached WK's chin with an errant right hand,...but he would have knocked Wilder's head clean off his shoulders.
Buddy would have developed his jab more and been more skilled than Max with todays training. I don't believe either would be the main champs today,based on what we see on film.Worst case scenerio is they are along the wilder like fighters out there. Maybe they would win a state Hw or intercontinental title somewhere here and there. I wouldn't put them even at a Trey Morrison level right now or Peter Fury.
I don't think they'd be champs. I find them both crude on film and Vlad would have no trouble tagging either one of them...hard.
