    Oh I don’t think Sam would win, no, no just pointing out where Jan got something pretty spot on technically, what I wrote above “can” happen hypothetically, I don’t really think Sam pulls it off well enough to do much. TOO long.

    Sam Peter would have a better chance than Sam Langford.

    People picking Byrd are the most bitter people on the face the planet.

    Ali for weight and Tyson for height (maybe).

    If Fitz could update his skills for the modern era this would be correct. But that is far from a sure thing and with Fitz what we've got is a micro worse version of Deontay Wilder.

    Evander Holyfield, but it would be competitive.

    Louis, Frazier, and Holy in their primes all beat Vitali. Obviously prime Tyson as well, but Mike's a naturally bigger man than those 3.

    I can't agree with saying like guys like Marciano, Charles, Moore, Dempsey, etc. Vitali is just physically too much for those guys.

    Proven against whom? A push bike would look pretty fast racing kids on training wheels.

    Dempsey for weight, Frazier or Tyson for height. He might last the distance with Frazier, if it’s a 12-rounder. Way too useless against the dynamism of Dempsey or Tyson.
