Wladimir isn't slow! Why do people keep writing this? He has his flaws, sure, but a lack of speed isn't one of them. He may not be a track star, but he has legitimately quick hands.
Chris Byrd is master boxer with huge hard (MCCline chin is not so good). Peter skills are very raw but his physicall strenght is very good. Foreman in his prime was almost always bigger and heavier(stronger) Look at his record..today his size is average and there are stronger guys than he was...if you look at his fights, he was quite stiff and one dimensional and his defence was also good only against hooks..
Was foreman hard diet or something ? He didint seem's like but his weighting only 220lbs..bigger is not always better, but good big fighter wins good small fighter. Thats why we have different weight class distinction...
wow ! i quess the fact that VLAD is a great boxer as well as a great puncher means nothing here ! he loses to the guys who can just punch and he loses to the guys that can only box ! :yep you my friend know nothing about this game or its history apparently !:deal
Dont pay attention to this foolishness ! Their posts and the rational behind them get more pathetic by the day !atsch
That is true, but wieght is not as important as some people think. Wlad is a good fight no doubt, he can give a heavywieght punch but he cant take one. You will see Wlad get decked in one of his fights real soon, I think a Peter or Chagaev could do it.
:smoke you do know that GEORGE was dropped by YOUNG dont you ? And KOed by ALI ? Neither of whom are big punchers ? And for the record check out GEORGE and LYLE for a view of GEORGES boxing ability and granit chin ! :yep
Who Jimmy young, well its better to lose to someone like Jimmy Young than to get knocked out by Ross THE BOSS Purrity.
Size should not be the deciding factor here. There were big men back even in the 1920s, the guy who lost his title to Dempsey was 6'6.5 and 245 lbs, yet he got his ass handed to him. Skill will beat size any day of the week, and Wladdy boy has already shown to get beat down by b caliber fighters, as well as losing rounds to above average heavyweights (Brock for instance). He would lose to Ali. END OF STORY. THREAD CLOSED!!!
You do know Wlad was decapitated by Sanders, and TKO'd by Purrity and Brewster don't you? That's about oh 2 more times than Ali ever came close to losing and Ali NEVER lost by TKO.
Lyle could punch, he would have cracked that paper bag of a chin that Wladdy sports in under 1 minute.
If GEORGE had of fought ROSS the BOSS at 21 he would have fell from exaustion also ! In fact he barly made it through the tenth in a fight against a little skinny guy at the same age ! YOUTUBE !
C'mon, Norton beats Wlad, no way. Wlad would have Norton on ***** street by the 3rd. Norton would go down like Brock--a sack of potatoes. Ali probably dances his way to a S/D in 12 rounder, but he better be careful, Wlad packs a wallop and we are not talking about the 187 lb. Henry Cooper here.
Bull**** ! he was a crude ex con with little skill and nowhere near VLADS level in power or anything else for that matter ! try again !:hi:
