    Wlad a coward at heart? He’s anything but a coward he once was called dead man walking , but because he had heart he came back from his loses and became one of the greatest HW champions of all time ,Top 10 ATG HW . Fury outboxed 40yo Wlad and then ran away from rematch , if anything heart def wasn’t wlad’s biggest problem.

    I'm not saying Wlad wasn't a great fighter he was. But why did Klitschko constantly resort to cheap tricks such as messing with his opponents gloves, putting a four inch padding underneath the canvas, excessive clinching and so on. That's what pissed me off about Wlad.

    Here's the long thread on why Wlad never rematched Sanders:

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...atch-it-was-the-other-way-round.583384/page-6

    TLDR: Other things got in the way. Both fighters were keen to have the rematch, just didn't happen.

    It's all in the legendary POST #83

    This is a closer fight than many would care to admit. I can make a case for either.

    It wasn't a prime Ali who fought Foreman but still, back the he was the "man mountain big george" well klitschko is 3 inches taller 30lbs heavier than "giant george"

    Lot of questions on this fight but certainly Wlad has a good shot imo

    Delusional. Wlad would have Ali out in 3. If Henry Cooper who was a bumped up light heavyweight knocked Ali out enough to cause illegal smelling saults being used and tearing of the glove imagine what a superior athlete like Wlad would have done. Please be serious.

    Wlad looked uncomfortable when he’s forced to put pressure. I think It’d come down to whether Wlad would be able to figure out the distance and Ali’s movement and have his jab going. He probably would at certain points, but I think Ali would bag enough rounds(similar to his performance in the first Liston fight) to win a competitive decision.

    This fight could go either way. Did Ken Norton win against Ali. Jimmy Young made him look horrible in their fight...granted Ali came into that fight with not much training from the camp...but they gave it to Ali. I am a big fan of Ali...but I acknowledge reality. A lot of posts lose credibility as they seem to be Wlad haters looking through hate lenses.

    Wlad is the goat in fighting smaller man.
    So here you have ist. Wlad would always beat ali.
    Wlad would have problems with big guys who can match his size and who are fast and technically good.
    Lewis
    Vitali
    Fury

    That's it. The rest would get slowly hugged to death and beaten by jab jab jab and right hand or left hook

    Seems to me that you are trying to aggravate the Wlad haters. They know who they are. ;)

    Youre the delusional one lol. Ali would torment Wlad , play with him & stop him in 5 or 6. Henry Cooper's left hook was known as Enery's Ammer LOL Ali was clowning & paid the price. Well almost
    Wlad was just a big kitty kat . Manny Steward helped him taught him the grab hold & maul technique .
    Lennox would have knocked him silly too
