Who's the Smallest-Ever Fighter You'd Pick to Beat Current Wlad 6+ Times Outta 10?

Smallest fighter ever who can beat him...Vitali..ha ha ha ha....no I'm joking...I think smallest in height is the easy pick of tyson

 

Where is the equivalent to this fighter in the last 30 years? Or are you contending he is a once in a century talent, who at 185 lb could beat 245 lb athletic freaks.

Fail.

 

yea i love the rock..and i think he could smash the cruiserweight division..and i wouldnt be suprised if their where some good heavyweights fighting today that he could beat..but i cant see him beating wlad...even though id cheer for him..i think rocky would be in for some hurt.

 

Smokin' Joe Frazier, baby. The pressure, the left hook, the bobbin and weavin to get in close...

 

I find it extremely hard to believe someone as short as Tyson or Frazier would take Wlad out at least 6 of 10 times. I think people are severely underestimating Wladimir Klitschko here.

I think Frazier gets bombed out ala Foreman style 9 of the 10 times.

I think Tyson does significantly better because of his speed and better chin; he wins 3 of the 10 times.

 

I like Wladdy a lot, and I defend him as a great heavy, but lets wait until the end of his career until we say he beats Tyson 7 out of ten times.

Tyson beat big, skilled guys Larry Holmes and Tony Tucker when he used the bobbing and weaving style, and look how well Peter did with it agaisnt Wladdy for one round before he abandoned it.

As for Frazier, why would he get bombed out by a fighter who doesn't throw bombs until later rounds?

 

Sam Langford

Its not that I dont rate Wlad its just that Sam Langford was that good.

 

Harry Greb certainly.

On his best night if he comes in motivated, Duran? Duran is all wrong for Wlad, imo.

 

But seriously Floyd Patterson would KO him!

 

I dont believe two fighters can remain peak-for-peak over a 10-fight series. It's ridiculous.

And if two fighters are matched peak-for-peak, prime-for-prime, and fight to the absolute best of their abilities on a completely level playing field there can be only one result. No need for rematches or a multi-fight series.

You either think one guy wins or the other, or a draw. This 6 out of 10 **** makes no sense.

 

Well said Unforgiven. :good

 

An impassioned but logically untenable choice. I rate Langford as my #1 pound for pounder.... but this ain't happening. Too much size disparity, and too much skill on Wlad's behalf in using his size. He exploits his strengths and minimizes his weaknesses as well any fighter I can remember. And if we are talking about two fighters entering the ring at their very best, then it will take an ATG heavyweight to defeat Wlad. I'm talking about a small handful of fighters, maybe three or four. He's just too good at what he does and what he does is very hard to crack.

 

I personally think what happens in the first fight probably happens in almost any other fight afterwards. For example, if Frazier can blow past Wlad's jab and get inside and hit him with bodypunches the first time they meet, what's Wlad going to do to prevent this from happening again. Develope an inside fighting game?..not likely.

And if Wlad can easly catch Frazier coming in and drops a right hand or two on him, and perhaps clinching when Frazier comes in. What's Frazier's answer going to be?

The basic question is whether or not a any of the swamer fighters, Dempsey, Frazier, Marciano, Tyson can avoid getting hit when they come in and if so, can they do damage when they're inside. If they can, then they probably could win all 10 fights doing this, but if they can't they get caught with Wlad's right a few times, (set up by the jab) then what changes can any of them make? So whether it's out of 10 fights, 3 fights or 1 fight, it's the same question.

 

Sam Langford.
