Vitali Klitschko vs. Max Baer

Hmm, tough one to call this.

Klitchko is the more skilled/technicial boxer, however Baer is amongst the hardest hitters in the history of the division and has the stronger chin. If Baer lands any accumulation of bombs, flush, Klitchko could well be on ***** street. I think Vitali would choose not to trade, stay on the outside using his jab to dictate the pace of the fight and would eventually outpoint Baer from long range. A Baer stoppage win isn't out of the question here.

Klitchko UD15 Baer

 

Vitali would win. He's a much better boxer on offense and defense. Baer has next to no defense, and was a rather poor jabber. Baer was durable like Vitali was, but he appeared to lack heart / effort. Many fighters out pointed Baer. A Baer win on points seems like a long shot.

Both guys had great chins. If there's a knockout here, I think Vitali would be more likely to get it because he's the more active / accurate puncher.

 

Baer had better opposistion, more fights, more experience, plus he was the one and only heavyweight champ at the time.Vitali was a beltholder, never undisputed champ.I'm thinking Baer by decision or eye cut tko.

 

Vitali is in another world skill-wise and was not fighting in the a cruiserweight division. Both have iron chins and a hard punch, i think it will go the distance with Vitali winning a comfortable decision.

 

And Baer lost 8 fights by decision to guys who would be lucky to win three rounds against Vitali. Vitali never lost or was close to losing a decision on points. If your pick is Baer by KO, ok. A pick of Baer winning on points is highly unlikely.

 

great fight.

Max Baer would win a couple of rounds maybe 5 rounds..and then vitali will find a way to bring him out but max gets up (baer's chin is granite) maybe from multiple knockdowns the referee would stop the fight, victory will go for vitali..TKO probably in the 8th.

 

Max Baer demonstrated a fine hard jab against Schmeling. Early in the sensational first round of his bout with a peaking Joe Louis, he battered the Bomber along the ropes with wince inducing left hooks. Baer was also known for his body attack, especially his right to the ribs.

While I don't believe Max quite had Shavers type power in his monstrous right, what really set him apart from Earnie was his ability to take a punch, and the capacity to drown his opponents in deep water.

Today's modern and steroid inflated superheavyweights would have posed no problem for Baer with their size whatsoever. Maxie grew up and sparred with a brother virtually identical in stature to Carnera. While Buddy Baer never optimized the use of his jab, his reach did significantly exceed that of the Klitschko boys. Neither of them ever went beyond 12 rounds, while the Madcap One decisioned King Levinski over 20 rounds, went another 20 rounds with rugged Paulino Uzcudun, and decked Tommy Farr twice, in scoring a lopsided 15 round rematch verdict.

Finally, at certain times in his career, Maxie had a failproof motivation for winning, which I'll identify momentarily.

I have just viewed footage of Vitalis Klitty for the very first time, and after extremely careful analysis, have been able to formulate a logically concrete rationale for determining the winner of such a pairing with Einsteinian certainty.

Here it is:

If it looks like a dweeb, walks like a dweeb, talks like a dweeb, and boxes like a dweeb, it's a dweeb! (I know my own kind when I see them!)

Now isn't that a simple and elegant solution to this question. (And you all probably thought I was a superficial ignoramus!)

Ultimately, the victor will be the one who gets a night in bed with Mae West as his reward.

:rofl

 

It would be like V. Klitschko vs Sanders

Klitschko by TKO 6 - 10

 

Why do you compare Sanders with Baer? Totally different styles... :think

 

I´m not.

But Sanders and Baer were both big punchers with mediocre skills and Vitali´s size will give him an edge.

 

Baer was twice the puncher Sanders was. And Baer had a big heart, good stamina when he was focused. Two things Sanders didn´t have...
