    Your right though guys, I give up



    If Rocky was a few inches taller, he might have won. He's no Corrie Sanders, who am I kidding.
     
  4. i agree absolutely, it is sad but true

    Vitali beat the living **** outta Sanders so what was your point again?
     
  6. tommy.... are you comparing 2 beasts as foreman and liston with ezzard charles?
    charles was 6´0 and 185 pounds....

    foreman was 6.3 1/2 217-231 pounds and he was stronger than vitali and harder puncher .
    liston was 6´0 212-220 harder puncher than vitali and stronger.
    foreman and liston in the modern era would have cleaned the division. but they were george foreman and sonny liston. not ezzard charles :rofl
     
  7. of course reznick. but he wasn´t

    I'm not comparing them. I'm just saying that if they can add weight, so can Charles.
    even without weight conditioning Liston and Foreman would still clean out the division

    My point is that the alien shaped, bootleg Jack Dempsey looking boxer Corrie Sanders had Vitali hurt real bad in the beginning of their fight, and the guy fights with a stance that would make prehistoric boxers cringe. All Sanders had, ALL he had, was a powerful left hand. He couldnt do anything but throw that thing, and Vitali almost couldnt even handle that. We all know his brother didnt.


    If Corrie Sanders is one punch away from knocking Vitali out in the first round, you dont think Rock could? One of the greatest physical athletes in boxing history whose training regime would make the average pro boxer **** their pants?



    Sanders is a shrimp of an athlete compared to Rocky. And is Sanders was a handful for Vitali....then......well.......my man here said it best:

    Still don't think Charles would be very big...Even with modern stuff. He really was a light heavyweight with the goods to move up and do well. He'd still be really small today.

    I was only being sarcastic.

    I actually think Rocky's short height works to his advantage against Vitali.
     
  12. tommy , i want to say you that liston and foreman were natural hws, charles not, today he would have been a cruiser.foreman and liston were naturally powerful men. they would have been even stronger with modern advantages, but charles wasn´t powerful, if he had trained weights he would have been just more slow and worse.
    and of course liston and foreman without weight conditioning would still clean out the division
     
  13. really? i don´t think that
     
  14. yes i agree he would have been a muscular cruiser, not more

    It creates a huge mismatch of durability and mobility.

    Vitali cant move backwards as fast as Rocky can move forward


    his body....its not able.

    imo
