Joe Bugner Vs Vlad As An Opponent

Take Bugner's opponents and compare them to Klit's opponents.

I go out on the limb and say Joe gets motivated and wins one for his country by outpointing the Hvywt Champ Klit on a split decision.

 

Vlad by extremely brutal knockout.

 

Ali would need to be at his best to defeat Wlad, and the Bugner Ali was not at his best. The same goes for Frazier.

 

I think it was Honeyghans rematch with Vaca, not sure ,all Joe said was "hi mate",he has a surpisingly high voice,but I didnt tell him that.

 

While Ali wasnt peak he was in good shape ,having fought Wepner 3 months previously,and Lyle only 6 weeks before,Ali weighed 225 ,only 1/2 pound more than he would 3 months later in Manila against Frazier,despite the humidity,[it was in Kuala Lumpor] Ali finished the stronger of the two.

 

Wlad, via comfortable enough UD (possibly late TKO). He's on a different level. Bugner would blurt out after another dazzlingly display of cautiousness "it ain't just about the money it's to be able to count it". :dead

 

Great analysis as always Kenmore. Your post says everything I was thinking about how this fight would have turned out.
