    Crazy, absolutely crazy.

    This is like saying anyone 7 feet tall must be just as good as Shaquille O'Neal in his prime. Big does not equal skilled. Get real.

    Great post, but Wlad lovers will never admit it. Wlad's scared shitless fighting style alone is enough reason to prevent him ever being an ATG and he would be handled easily by REAL fighters like The Rock.

    Very possible, but probably not when he was prime

    Joe Louis would box Wlad's ears off prime for prime. Nice thread man. I agree with you, Carnera's style was very similar to Wlad's.

    Carnera was actually BETTER than Vlad.

    He certianly had more HEART and STANIMA.:deal

    Primo got off the floor 10xs in one fight.

    Vlad...once he's down that's pretty much it.

    half u guys are idiots!!! GOOD POST! Wlad is no way near technically good enough to beat Joe Louis! We are talking about the best heavyweight of all time (debated)!!!!

    totally agree with you, wlad is clumsy, his jab isnt even that great just overused, if he was a better fighter and actually got in there to have it out with a guy and demonstrate his skill instead of just his reach he would get knocked out. im sorry but Louis' footwork was masked by shitty old camera's and he was an unbelievable counter puncher.


    whoever even considered this a match up in the first place is a tool.

    Good article

    Ridiculous thinking towards wlad from some people on here

    Carnera is like Dimitrenko.

    Comparing him to Wlad is like saying Wlad is on the same level as Dimitrenko.

    Carnera was a circus show attraction, to even compare the two is the height of stupidity.

    And how many times has Wladimir been truly knocked out??

    ZERO


    So, Wladimir didn't get up (and go on to win) during the first Peter fight?



    :huh:huh:huh

    Chagaev beat 7" Valuev. How helpful was that in predicting the outcome vs. Wlad?
