floyd hands down. I'll say it once and I'll say it again: Wlad just keeps his mediocre opposition off with his jab and long reach. decent heavyweights would have broke through Wlad's jab and eventually get to that shaky chin. Floyd on the other hand would be hard to hit cleanly by anyone. Even a super accurate power puncher like Judah couldn't get THAT many shots in.
In my opinion the big tall heavyweights would give Wlad hell. Wlad wouldn't be able to dominate his opponents with his jab as easy and he wouldn't have the reach.
Obviously, Floyd is the greater defensive fighter (one of the greatest ever) but the bottom line is, no one has even punched Wlad cleanly in 5 years or more. Floyd got rocked by SSM. Of course, a lot of Wlad's success is because refs allow Wlad to hold and tie up his opponents. If not, he might get clocked more often.
Yea his defense starts with not getting into the ring with some one like Pac ...I promise you he would get blasted with shots all 6 rounds
you have to look at the skill level of fighters floyds faced compaired to wlad also its alot faster division you cannot compaire these 2 fighters buh still hands down its floyd defence is crazy
Yeah because Thompson is an ATG and always was a huge problem to all heavyweights in the past. give me a break. thompson isn't that good. he's tall and big but i'm talking about Riddick Bowe, Lewis, Golota, Foreman, other big guys that I can't think of right now.
i tell you this wlad will get tested and droped as soon as he mans up and fights haye , hayes to fast at moving for wlad haye will get to him and personaly i think thats why hes doing everything not to fight him
If that montage was a crash test dummy it was going 45 mph. How would that chin hold up against prime world class power going at 65 mph ? little extra and the song in the background would be much more somber. Not one of those fighters are known for being a world class power puncher while also being at their best weight or in their prime. Let's see it against the best fighter from General Santos City before we can market it as such to the general public.
Career, Floyd. But atm, Wlad. The guy uses his height and reach beautifully. Idiots can **** and moan about how that's not defense, but fighting tall is a skill and one he's mastered under Steward.
