How could old School ATGs ever be prepared to face todays HW Champions?

Lewis didn't succeeded to floor or drop Vitali in that fight but he butchered his mask, period !:yep
The physical factor its important when u fight against big guys like Klits but the skills, the speed and the technique are more important attributes ! Vitali also fought bigger guys after the Lewis fight but lots of them were B and C level fighters !

ps: Imagine what a prime-well trained Lewis would've done to Vitali ?!:hey

You must confuse Charr with Wach.

 

David Haye couldn't do anything to Wlad? Wlad couldn't do anything to Haye either. Neither threw many punches but in the 12th round Haye did hurt Wlad with a glancing punching.

 

I did indeed for some reason I get those two mixed up, and I thought Wlad would bomb Wach out because from the little I saw of him personally I thought he looked woeful, even when he KO'd Tye Fields he looked so slow and cumbersome, but I was shocked at how big he looked in there even against Wlad

 

He didn't have to, for all of Hayes talk before hand, it was his job to try and make the fight, and as for hurting Wlad, as I say, Haye is a monster puncher, look at what he did to Chisora, and he even had big Nikolay chickendancing around the ring when he threw a meaningful punch

 

Most wouldn't have to, because they would fight a division lower nowadays.
And some probably even LHW or SMW, cutting weight.

 

Never go full ****.

 

Charr's size had nothing to do with it. It was his balls & attitude. Joe Frazier would have likely pushed Vitali right onto the ropes and taken him apart with body shots.

"couldn't?" Of course he COULD have. He just was afraid to try.

 

Or unify and dominate and give proper respect tot he CW division.

A guy like Ali fighting at CW in this era would really bring excitement to that division, even making it the premier division where smallish HWs like Jennings, Scott, Boystov would drain down to get fights down there rather than bulk up for HW challenges.:think

 

And you know what that "past prime" Lewis would have done to paperweights like Louis, Marciano or Dempsey, right?

 

they would do just fine.
