You can get swept up in the group think. Nostalgia is great but gives a rose-tinting to a lot of perspectives. Classic is still 1000X better than general for talking and analyzing boxing. And this isn't the worst example. Wlad does terrible with pressure. But I do think he should be favored against Dempsey.
Not everyone on the Classic picked Dempsey, Dempsey obviously beat a man of similar size but nowhere near the skill of Wlas. And has an aggressive style, which if he was more powerful/stronger may work against Wlad, I don't think he's good enough at slipping the jab and I don't think he's durable enough hence I picked Wladdy to dominate
Klitschko KO1 Dempsey within 1:00 Thats Usain Bolt vs. Jesse Owens. Get real you clowns who think a blown up 1920´es LH like Demspey would be competetive vs. a 245lbs. 21st century HW monster. How stupid can you be....do you know anything about this sport. I guess no.
Dempsey is way to small IMO Although Wlad does have a suspect chin, I can't Dempsey getting beyond the jab. Would just be a matter of when Klit decides to throw the right hand. Normally about round 11 or 12.
seriously :rofl the guy who got knocked out by corrie sanders versus the heavyweight record holder for the most 1RKO's
Yes that little ****in ******* who was Knocked the **** out in the first round by Fireman who? That ****ing bum who has million draws, point losses to bums etc.atsch Every guy Wlad lost, would propable beat him and knock his little ass out too, im not joking. Little piece of **** would get killed by Wlad. Wlad would **** this child, Mismatch
Seriously leave this forum you nostalgia-dumb ass and never come back...atsch Look at his 1st rounds KO's. :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Seriously, -like you said. Look WHO THE **** HE EVER KO'ed. His record about 1RKO IS ****ING PADDED Record about some inbred farmer boys gathered around.:roflatsch Today he would be 175 for his physical standpoints. Guy would be Fighting there with Lightheavies. Lets keep it Real fools..
he threw that fight to flynn btw, shows how much you know. he took a dive being hard up for money and then fought him for real the year after and brutally destroyed him . He destroyed levinsky in his earlier career, a fighter who had never been knocked out by anyone in 300+ professional fights. You're talking about fighters that actually fight here, several times a year, instead of sitting around negotiating contracts. are you trying to say dempsey's record is padded when you're talking about wlad? fighting blown up fatties with no skillset? the 00's heavyweight is a puffed up, immobile punching bag.... it's just proven by the fact that nobody watches this shitty, tubby division anymore. :deal
Wlad would extend his arm out in a Jab like way and then after 30-40 minutes the fights ends in a 15-0 or 12-0 decision for Wlad. Or a KO if Wlad decides to throw some power punches with his right.
Watch what Ali said about Dempsey and his opponent, horrible what horrible. they would get killed by modern day heavies. They would look like Zombies today. Who is Blown up Fatties Wlad has fought? See you know **** your talking about. At least they are heavyweight with real heavyweight boxer's physical measures. And when Watching even Guys like Rusland Chagaevn versus those Zombies Dempsey fought, god damn. Chagaevn would slaughter those peasants. Dempsey's tittle fights against 170+ punds guys agains today's 6 feet ++ inches 200-250 athletes... **** me man. Get the fu.. outta here with those bull rushing midgets.
Hey, you know what happened every time Dempsey fought a tall, heavy guy like you keep praising. He brutally knocked them the **** out. Willard, Firpo, etc etc etc.... the ideal weight for a HW is 200-225(thats not to say that some superheavies like foreman and klitschko cannot dominate) it's obvious when the most skilled competitors in the division today besides the klits are blown up LHW's and CW's. Face it, the hw division today is full of slow fat fighters that can't for the life of them figure out how to get past a klitschko jab, it's quite embarassing Ali is full of **** about a lot of things(he was no technician himself, he thinks he's more skilled just because he was really great on his bike) His commentary is mostly useless **** talk. You should listen to what Tyson says about Dempsey. He's actually a good analyst. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orxmkDJ_o3U[/ame]
