We saw Vs Romanov that Kudryashov's power definitely didn't translate to heavyweight sized guys being sparked the same way the cruisers did.
You do realise that Earnie had only one really good punch himself right? His overall punching is actually quite poor, just a big right hand really.
If you watched the fight, it was really pure exhaustion that caused him to lose the fight. Both men were seriously gassed only halfway through the fight, they were done by the tenth.
The best boxer they faced is usually the guy they beat. See Toney calling McCallum the best, Roy calling Toney the best, etc. There is a definite pattern.
Lame comparison. Other here have already ripped you "analysis" to shreds. Wlad in his late 30s was vastly superior to late 30s Ali. Here's a question - how does Shavers perform vs. Lennox or Fury? Answer - he gets stopped or easy UD. There are dozens of 2000s era HW I'd pick over Shavers. Earnie was very entertaining, but massively overrated by 70s - mid 80s lovers of their self described "Golden Era".
facts I dont judge a boxer not able to ko a person not meaning they dont hit hard he hit real hard but saying he is the hardest ever is crazy it's been boxers mutiple hw sense him who hit hard with mutiple type punches and able to put a person in I said he was crazy they like to off of dumb quotes other crazy followers say oh they say he hit the hardest so ill follow that just cause other followers say it ill say how ali larry and others said it even though earn didnt fight in other eras so just forget those eras the only one that matters is what people back in the day said the real fact like I said is its been mutiple harder hitters even in 90s
Kudra at CW had long KO wins streak, looks that after fight vs Durodola he turned more cautious. Then he get sparked by Dorticos and looks after this had more to think about defense etc. Kudra vs Romanov was boring to watch, however he looked now is learning defensive skills. Huge power alone didn't had carried him well in CW top: yeah, he is going for stoppage wins, yeah, he does have power. If there some Durodola or Dorticos: there big problems might had appeared. Vs Romanov he even now looked improved, better version than at CW.
To really know how hard a fighter punches you'd have to take his punches. Tex told me the ONLY man that hurt him & made him even think of quitting was Earnie. Also Earnie said of Tex " I hit that man harder than I ever hit anyone else & he just laughed at me. He must have had concrete poured in that chin" They became good friends
I'd love to see you try telling Tex Cobb that ROFL He'd put you straight Both in their prime Ali torments & plays with Wlad before making him quit on his stool
