    What's up everyone, I'm new this is my first post.

    Ibragimov and Sanders comparison


    1. considered both hard punchers
    2. both left-handed
    3. both considered extremely fast
    4. both have excess fat, and do not resemble atheletes in any way physically.

    Anyone wanna add more?

    Ibragimov is nowhere as hard a puncher.

    Sanders got much better chin.

    Sanders had much more power than Ibragimov does and he was a good deal stronger.

    Sanders was a much harder puncher and his style was different.

    At 6'4", Sanders was taller than Ibragimov and he fought strictly out of a stand-up boxer-puncher position. Ibragimov, by constrast, fights out of a semi-crouch and he is generally more versatile than Sanders, who was one dimensional in the tactics he used.

    Sanders relied almost exclusively on his power and hand speed, seeking to overwhelm his opponents with an eary round blitzkrieg. Ibragimov's approach is more measured and patient.

    Disagree. it looked granite against Vitali but he was KTFO at most stages of his career.

    Your analysis right on point.:good

    Sanders has an agressive style, Iggy has a laid back style that allows him to pick off shots coming. I will say this much, they both are good counter punchers, with pretty fast hands at the Heavyweight level.

    1. Ibragimov has not knocked out any fighters worth a damn.

    Sanders also had better killer instinct and finishing skills than Ibragimov, plus a better chin. Ibragimov was afraid to take chances against an ancient Holyfield, I really doubt he will take chances against a prime Klitschko. This fight is a bad situation for him. He can't use his new boxing style against Wlad because he can't outbox him and he can't use his old swarming/brawling style because he will get caught on his shaky chin and stopped.

    they both are southpaws, both like the counterpunch, and both have quick hands for a heavy.

    but that is about where the similarities between them end.

    sanders hit way harder.
    sanders is much bigger.
    sanders is much more aggressive.
    sanders is an almost european type stand up fighter.

    probably more differences but those are the obvious ones to me.
