    And Ross Purrity a guy who wasn't half of Bonavena or Foreman knocked out Wlad.

    If Wlad was to fight most of the heavywieght ATGs his weak chin would be more exposed than Brittany Spears *****, fighters like Dempsy, Marciano, and Johnson were a hell of alot tougher mentally than Wlad. How in the hell could Wlad beat a guy like Dempsey who was a pressure fighter, and had enough pop in his jab to knock Wlad down. Size matters but not that much, I will take a guy whos undersized but mentally strong over a guy whos big and not mentally strong like Wlad.

    I think Wlad would beat Gene Tunney and Ezzard Charles, who are Top30 heavyweights of all time. Also Floyd Patterson, who is a Top15 heavyweight of all time.

    Let's see...

    Patterson
    Charles
    Tunney
    Tyson (50/50)
    Corbett
    Johnson (50/50)

    Wouldn't rule him out against the three great swarmers, either.:D

    50/50 with a prime Tyson :rofl He also has a weaker chin then anyone on this list besides Patterson, there is no way in hell Wlad would beat a prime Tyson, one Tyson left hook and Wlad will have a panic attack and his glass jaw will shatter.

    No, I wouldn't say that either - there is so little in it, it's not worth arguing about. They are both as strong as to be as strong as humans could be.

    If it came down to a test of strength, on the inside it would be more about timing, generalship and, most of all balance. Technical aspects of movement, basically.

    Yeah...but if Douglas was able to keep him on the business end of his jab, then Wlad could as well. There's always the possibility that Wlad gets caught, though, and if that happens, then it's goodnight Wlad.

    :huh :huh :huh

    Lets see, one one side we've got a tall, powerful guy that relies mostly on his jab to keep guys off him...he's failed to keep off him Sanders, Purrity and Brewster, none of which are what you'd call exceptional fighters, none of which were what you'd call particularly fast either and it has to be said none of them are exceptional KO artists. He's also been down more often than a cheap Thai ***** whilst fighting average competition.

    On the other side you have prime Mike Tyson. Yeah, I can see how WALD would win that one :admin

    My thoughts exactly, there should be a hall of fame at ESB for dumb posts, this one might make the top 10 or the one I heard yesterday a poster said that the Kessler/Calzaghe is the fight of the century.:shock:

    Douglas kept a crappy version of Tyson off him, and still nearly got his head taken off. I doubt WALD would have survived even against that version of Tyson.

    Tyson catching WALD with a shot isn't a possibility, it's a definate. Even a 2003 Tyson would have stood a chance - a 1988 Tyson would have WALD out of there inside a round most likely.

    Damn I missed that one :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Struggling to think of how WALD could possibly win that one too.....no he couldn't, not in a million years.
