Vitali Klitschko vs “The Golden era”? Contenders?

Yet Ross couldn't even muster up a win over bums like Frankie Swindell, he got schooled and badly hurt by Kirk Johnson. Byrd outperformed Wladimir lol

 

He was past prime for Frankie and Johnson and Byrd likely beat Old Foreman.

 

Byrd still got destroyed by Wladimir despite doing better against a common opponent. Common opponent argument means nothing when Purrity is a glorifed joruneyman and his career panned out as such. He got floored by a green Kirk Johnson, Foremans chances are excellent here. This is off topic anyway

 

Purrity struggled against boxer movers and did well against guys who came to take his head off. Ask yourself which category Foreman belonged to.

 

Puritty fought Cleveland Woods in his second fight EVER, he had less than one round as a pro, and NO amateur career at all. Puritty didn't look like a boxer in the Woods fight, he looked like a football player trying to box. Puritty was 8-8 when he fought Morrison, he had been the "opponent" in his fights. He had faced 8 undefeated fighters and another who was 13-1. Against Woods his chin was up, he was stiff, he didn't know how to punch, he was a football player boxing against a guy who had a good amateur career and the result was predictable. By the time Puritty fought Morrison he looked like a boxer. He had learned to relax in the ring, he could move, he had some defense, and he learned to punch and put punches together.

Puritty started boxing as a pro with no experience, little training, but a huge physical "upside." He was durable, big, strong, had stamina, and was apparently teachable. IMO, the version of Puritty who fought Morrison would have the assets to beat 70s GF. Tough enough to take whatever GF threw at him, and the stamina to still be there when GF tired and enough offense to take advantage. I'm not trying to convince you or anybody else, but I think that Puritty would be kryptonite for 70s GF.

Frazier sneezes and opens a cut on Vitali's eyebrow to win a round 1 doctor stoppage

 

The facts are these:

Two fighters -- Holyfield and Vitali -- suffered left rotator cuff injuries against Byrd. Byrd is an elusive guy who's easy to miss against, and who manipulates his opponents' lead hand a lot.

Some people think this is enough to believe there's something about Byrd's style that makes his opponents more likely to injure their left rotator cuffs fighting him.

NoNeck rejects this explanation because nobody has presented him with film showing the moment of rotator cuff injury.

 

Jesus Christ journeyman we get it you despise Foreman please stop now

 

Chisora deserves his slickness badge too, in that case.

 

He gave the same shoulder injury to two people?

 

He didn't do well against Derek who battered him from the opening bell. Derek is a complete bum. Swindell is a fat featherfisted journeyman who came forward all night as soon as he realized Puritty couldn't hurt him and walked him down beating him up, Purrity really didn't deserve that draw.

Rmm Not seeing it. The version of Klitschko who subsequently fell apart against Brewster isn't better than prime Foreman. Foreman has his way with Purrity and forces a stoppage. Batters his torso, his arms, makes him throw less, dazes him in the mid rounds and gets it waved off. He had a war with this guy btw. It is really mental gymnastics

Who is Derek?

Purrity’s window is mid 94 to mid 99. The stuff outside of that window isn’t very important.
