    box03 do you have any hobbies besides running the HW division into the ground - defying common sense and the law of physics. I'm a huge Duran fan and consider him a p4p ATG. I suppose since: size does not matter, Duran fought back in the day, had lots of heart, top stamina, and was a natural aggressive fighter, why he could beat Wlad too. :nut Get a new hobby.

    Box03 logic -> Womens tennis is real bad right now since there are so many top players from Eastern Europe, and the US women aren't winning almost every tournament. Why the top female players from the 70s would clean out todays champs. :nut :patsch

    The days of US athletes dominating boxing or tennis are basically over. The comp now is even more world wide. None of your blind disregard for the facts is going to change that. :tong

    I don't see much point in comparing athletes from different eras on a head to head basis given all the advancements in sports. Record times are broken all the time with athletes consistently outperforming their predecessors so why would people think the old timers would be a match for later athletes who outperform them?

    Do people think Wladimir could beat the best heavyweights of the 2040s?

    I have probably watched more heavywieght fights than you have in the last 5 weak years, I know what Im looking at and it aint good. Womens tennis is doing fine by the way, Serena is still a big draw and Sharapova is good too. Heavywieght boxing is not what it used to be, how many PPV matches were heavywieght this year and the Briggs/Iggy fight dont count because Showtime wouldnt show it because no one wanted to see it. There were 2 Holyfield/Savarese and I think Rahman/Maskaev was this year.

    Yeeeeeesssss, because it takes legends like Ross Purrity, Steve Pannell, Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster, DaVarryl Williamson and Samuel Peter to put Wlad down or out.

    All it would take from Joe is one left hook to put Wlad into panic attack mode, but thats Wlad "the ***" for ya.

    Spoken like a true Klit-ite :good

    I checked boxrec and I never saw Frazier on there losing to average fighters, unlike someone else I could mention.

    Butterbean KO1 Marciano...didn't you watch the Butterbean/Johnny Knoxville fight?

    Brewster is over 220lbs and Sanders is huge. You have to be the dumbest ****ing poster on here Relentless :rofl :rofl :rofl

    Wlad would have inflicted permanent damage in the 4 rounds it took him to trash Frazier.

    Any heavyweight that can punch hard and can take a hard punch will always have a better than average chance against Wladimir. It really comes down to how much of a threat the other fighter offers.

    Sorry mate I was joking! When I said he'd beat him at boxing I didn't mean stick and move (that would be ridiculous for Tyson to attempt!) I ment fight him normally. I was just making an off colour joke of the prison **** variety!:lol:
    Tyson fighting his normal game is streets ahead of Wlad, quicker, meaner and tougher.

    I think he beats Willard, Burns, Schemeling, Patterson and Braddock.
    I'd have him a pickem against Baer, Liston, Moorer, Bowe, Pinklon Thomas, Trevor Berbick, Charles and Tunney.
    I would favor him over any of todays champs.
