had the same size and reach as, let´s say Eddie Chambers, he would have all his other skills except size and reach. How would he do in the division ? Would he beat Eddie ? Would´ve beaten Byrd, Ibragimov, Chagaev ?
Do you even understand how stupid this Thred is?atsch Wlad would be different man then. He would be propably faster, better cordination if he was smaller so go figure.
Yep, some claim he is top 5 p4p, i guess there are even some comedians who will make us believe, he´s p4p no.1
You cannot ask the speed or combinations a 135lb man has from a man weighting 250lb. If he would have the weight of a cruiser, he would be as fast as a cruiser, and could fight at the pace of a cruiser. Regarding his overall skill level, look at Wlad vs. Chagaev or Ibragimov compared to Dimitrenko vs. Chambers. Same reach, same size, even slightly bigger, same amateur experience.
But what about his boxing talen, boxing instinct ? Do you think he has more talent for boxing, as for example chambers ?
p4p is entirely a mental creation. In real life in the ring, Wlad destroy any p4p no. 1 without breaking a sweat. Weight classes are a huge concession in some sports. There are many sports where great athletes who are the size of Pacman or Floyd would never get anywhere, like football, basketball, even most disciplines in track and field. If Wlad was shorter, he would move differently, obviously. A 6'6 fighter doesn'tneed to bend at the waist, use footwork like Ali or have Manny's handspeed.
What The ****. That is NOT what P4P is all about what I know. It is about how boxer have succeeded in his own league, weight class what he has done in his career, who has he beaten. You dont rate pound for pound fighters with logic you are using here. "what if he was size of Eddie". Plz Someone correct me If I was wrong. Im willing to know what the **** this P4P is all about:huh
If Ali has the speed of say, George Foreman... If Louis had the power or say, Jack Sharkey... If Marciano has the stamina of say, Mike Tyson...
yes we shrink vladz size and reach down to chamberz exact preportionz and put him in the ring agains byrd, ibragimov and chagaev. first i see vlad trying to climb into the ring over the top rope and balling himself on live tv cuss he cant quite pull hiz other leg over without turning the top rope into hiz new thong then after manny pullz hiz shortz back out of hiz buttcheekz i see vlad having a hard time finding the range on hiz jab in rd 1 as he triez to figure out why hiz armz seem to have mysteriously shrunk even so i see a boring close 1st round with vlad possibly taking it due to hiz new found balance and quickness from his much shorter new legz which let him round around the ring a wit a little more agility however, in between roundz i see vlad accidently catching a image of himself on the jumbo tron and when the poor ukranian noticez he's got a wicked tan and a small afro i see him having a panic attack and quitting on his stool EXCELLENT THREAD !!!!!
This is a stupid premise...If Wlad fought the same way without his size and reach, of course he would suck. Wlad fights the way he fights because he's a huge dude. Fighters have to adapt their fighting style to their natural gifts.
its a stupid question.. WHAT IF..... this guy also says "Vitali is #1 HW over Wlad because of what Vitali MIGHT have done if he had not retired Wlad is nothing if he was the size of chambers. Well guess what, Wlad is not the size of chambers. Seems like a lot of "WHAT IF" bull**** to me rather than facts
Yep, dumb question. What if Shaq was six feet tall? What if? What if? What if? We could be asking those ALL DAY, in regards to all fighters, and across all sports.
