Yes because size is everything...:roll: Frazier would be too quick and fast against Wlad and would be getting past that stiff jab in no time, if you guys read anything Bogotazo or Mo wrote, you'd know the analysis is spot on.
Wladimir doesn't destroy fighters, he wears them down. That's why he's been champ for so long and dominated his era so easily :deal. It doesn't bode well for Smoke that he couldn't live with Foreman because Wlad hits as hard, and yes Wlad can fight like Foreman when he wants. I'd favour Smoke over the younger Wlad, not post 2005/current.
Wlad would have to get rid of Joe early or he'd pay. If the Wlad game plan was 'wear him down', he regret that. Nobody has convinced we that Wlad hits like foreman.
peter had wlad rolling around. frazier had more skill in his left foot than peter in his whole body. frazier ko's wlad, vitali is a toss up
What Wlad fight set the blueprint of him knocking out Frazier?? If Brewster was as fast as Frazier , Wlad would of been ko'd in half the time. Does anybody understand the science and styles around here?
That Wlad wasn't near as good as current and you know it. Peter was a very dangerous fighter then also. If you want to talk history, Smoke couldn't do anything much with big Joe Bugner who is not in Wlad's class at all.
When has Wlad fought like Foreman? Sadly we also never got to see Manny tell Wlad to "take it to the street" on his opponent.
People picking Frazier are slaves to an antiquated ideology. They want Frazier to have won so they parrot the status quo, while inventing in ring senarios that stem from their brainwashed agendas. Sad really!
It goes both ways. Klit Fans refuse to talk about how Vitali quit against Byrd and how Wlad was knocked down 13 times in his career. Vitali's two biggest fights he was injured, this proves he's not durable at all. He just got a good chin. But that don't mean he's durable. Byrd Fight- Shoulder Injury lewis Fight- Face falling off. Now if he lied about the shoulder injury that proves he got no heart. If the injury is legit, that proves whenever he fights elite opposition he gets injured. The bottom line is: The TWO times Vitali fought elite competition... his body failed him. 100% . He's body is 0-2 against elite competition. And I'm throwing the word 'elite' around quite freely in regards to Chris Byrd.
Wlad dosen't fight like Foreman though, He dosent throw all of his punches as power punches going all out in the first few rounds.
Wlad can't even KO Botha in 2 rounds.. yet he's gonna do it to Joe? Wlad has never shown that he is capable of knocking out a good fighter within 2 rounds. I think he did it to some randoms...
:deal :yep Though we've seen Manny tell him to do plenty of things, results never amounted to anything close to what Foreman fought like. This would be one of those fights where Steward would beat up Wlad almost as much as Frazier was in-between rounds. "GET HIM OUT OF THERE, YOU NEED TO FIGHT THIS MOTHA****A, HE'S WALKIN RIGHT IN (slaps chest) AND YOU'RE JUST THROWN THIS, BA, BA... NO! LET THE RIGHT HAND GO! BA-BA-BAM! JUST LET IT GO!"
Smokin Joe would SMASH Wlad steamroll straight through him. Vitali might last a few rounds before quitting a la Purity ft
