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

That could be arranged...

Corbett wasn't known for physical strength or a great chin. What's he going to do, really? He doesn't have the punch to bother Wlad.

 

I'm pretty sure Dempsey1238 is joking around. At least I hope so. But man was that some funny stuff.

Belive Burns would have done it, less so on Corbett.

 

But Corbett was faster, Wlad would be hitting nothing but air.

After 8 rounds of missing and missing, Wlad would be tired and just fall over.

 

I dout Burns could Reach Wlads Head

 

If you watch the Burns Moir fight, You will see a Burns Kilt fight, as Burns would chop that gaint down with his powerful body and head shots. One of the worse beatdowns I ever saw.

 

This thread is embarrassing. The fetishism of the ancient is celebrated to such a ridiculous point that it devolves to self-parody. One of the signs of an intellectually honest historian is the ability to assess the present as well as the past. Here, rather we are liable to get the Joe Gans vs. Wlad thread, the Jimmy Wilde v Wlad thread and so on. Do you people really think that the genetic thread of the uber small men has been lost in 100 years, that there are no Lanford's or Burns or even Jack Johnson's into today's world? That is a highly doubtful, if not laughable contention. Oh, let me guess, they are all in the NFL?

Wlad is a hyper-skilled big man. Even Manny said before training him that he had the best offensive arsenal of any man he had ever seen over 6-5. Smaller fighters also happen to be his forte. I rate Langford top3 all time lb4lb, but Wlad would KO him 10 times out of 10, mostly in under 6 rounds. They would not even allow that fight to happen in modern times. But, oh, I forget, he was an unprecedented and never since approached super man.

The smallest fighters to have chance to go better than .500 with him are Louis, Liston and Holyfield. And that's just a chance for all three. At his best, he rates very well head to head. He has a way of dictating the style and pace of his fights that deflates his opposition. You can either try to jump on him quickly (as I imagine Haye will do) or drag him into deep waters and absorb a frightful beating. Lately, no one has been able to do either.

 

I think Frazier 71/2 of 10!! If fought on a barge with angle to the left. And Smokin Joe was one of 1st Ali fight his arms would have fit perfect under wlads glass jaw!!

 

If Bonavena KD's twice in a round, Wlad potentially ends his career. The best version of Frazier gives Wlad, or anybody, a problem. However, Joe didn't have the best of luck with big heavies.

 

LoL... so Wlad KO percentage is about 14% less when he fights fighters who way 30 lbs less than him and less than 220. Interesting fact... thanks for proving that size doesn't matter as much as you claimed (Since you basically owned yourself).

 

Dude Burns ould go 0-10 agaisnt Wlad IMO...I dout he could get Past wlads Jab abd if he did lad ould just Clinch him and ear him don befor KOing him

 

Owned myself? By showing that he's undefeated against anyone he's ever fought 220 and below? If that's the case, I should own myself more often.

If you prefer to measure everything by knockouts, that's your call. Just be consistent in your stance, and when you post a top 10 HW list, make sure it's all in KO % order. Nobody likes double standards.

 

:rofl I almost choked!
