religious/historic figures as boxers

you really know your boxing history! :good

 

Churchill was a runner in the first fight, after ducking Adolf for many years. When he noticed Adolf "The Austrian Assassin" Hitler was a shot fighter after the Stalin fight, he moved in and got a rematch. He knew he would not get a decision in Germany so he went for the KO. Gotta give him credit for that.

 

too bad for hitler. he could have been the greatest if he followed some good advice. he took on every great fighters of his era one after another without regards to the toll in his body. :-(

 

and for the record, churchill was not a runner in the first fight. he stayed on adolf's face and countered all night long. he was not backing but merely circling away from hitler's lethal straights and hooks. please watch again the fight if you have some time.

 

You sir are a Churchill nuthugger. He ran all night, the only reason he wasn't knocked out is because he kept the distance all the time. He barely threw a single jab! I'm no Hitler fan (don't like his entourage and his behavior outside the ring) but he was clearly the aggressor.

 

Had he won the second fight we would still be calling him the GOAT today :yep

 

hater!!!


churchill :happy
:**** hitler

 

Hitler UD15 :deal

:manny

 

well he churchill was rather quick for a big man he used his size to dominate most fights but hitler being smaller but far heavy handed and immensly quick he changed tactics by jabbing and moving while throwing in a few pot shots.

when he lost he defintly wanted a rematch but hitler was occupied with stalin. it was a shame becuase he could of beaten hitler square on if he fought his fight. he just rematched a shot fighter.

but yeah after a few round churchill didnt want any of his power.
i agree with rdj he did run after he got into a bit of trouble

 

and who said churchill is the ducker? it was another british fighter named chamberlain who really ducked hitler.

 

it was a draw. :deal

hitler was really disappointed because he thought he will get the decision. in his disappointment he quickly asked for a fight with stalin who then gave him an embarassing upset.

 

il duce mussolini got thrashed whenever he stepped up. got his ass kicked by some greek after talking a big game, shamelessly beat up on oldman petain in petain's farewell fight, got savegely beat by churchill in egypt, and quit against roosevelt. best win in his career was probably against some overmatched ethiopian.

 

mussolini was a fraud. he talks and acts as if he is the GOAT.
while he cannot beat a class-B fighter (Greece) without the help of the biased german referee.

 

Khomeini took some monster shots from Saddam and still made it till the end. Once his original gameplan of just running at him didn't work, the Tikriti Terror used every trick in the book, and then some! Illegal blows, gauging, anthrax on his gloves, anything to get the edge. It was Rocky V all over again. All credit to Khomeini. Before Saddam stepped up to fight 'The Khomster' people were calling him the next Saladin!

Shitty decision though, I don't think it was a draw, IMO 'The Khomster' scraped a win. But what do you expect from a Don King fight eh? :-(


My vote goes for Smokin' Joe Stalin. Steel chin, good defense, very good offense, god like stamina, an unbreakable will to win, possessor of the greatest left hook in the business and has the largest KO record of anyone in human history. Joe is the man!

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl
saddam 'tikriti terror' hussein had a good run in the 80's while it lasted, but even his rabid following in arab countries could'nt cheer him through against the persian legend. he could have ended his career on a high note, too bad he chose to close it against not 1 but 2 generation of cowboys.

fight of the century still has to be man of steel joe stalin againt fellow ATG adolf 'the artist' hitler. after nearly getting stopped early, man of steel shows his great fortitude by weathering the storm and taking the championship rounds. not to be outdone by joe's fierce will adi, contrary to his legendary trainer mansteins advice, abandons boxing smartly and decides to fight a war of attrition sealing his fate.
