Wlad Klitschko KO4 Joe Louis - P4P and H2H

Hell mediocre Chris Byrd a former MW beat Vitaly and went 12 rounds with Wlad the 1st time and anyone who thinks Wlad fought better comp knows nothing about boxing at all.

 

13 rounds to take out a middleweight !:deal :yep The degree of delusion you display is EPIC !:hi: Cheers !

 

Again Klitchco hugger he was past his prime but whats Wlad excuse for getting his ass handed to him by tomato cans while in his prime?

 

JOE was in his PRIME ! And outside the loss to SANDERS VLADs loss to BREW was bizzar and the loss to PURITY was due to being sick overtrained and a kid ! :hi: 13 rounds to take out a middleweight !:yep Take your glasses off buddy and have a good night ! :bbb

 

In truth, had Louis been active today, he should be facing Mormeck in 12 rounds.

 

You can call me and others huggers, but you're a pure hater of Wlad. Your arguments make absolutely no sense - and you have the gall to say you have all this boxing knowledge. Byrd faught at HW. He was a small HW, but he was over 200 lbs. Chris was a legit champ fighting in an era with true world comp. If Byrd is mediocre then Joe Louis was a hack fighting bums. Of course both are wrong. Vitali had a severe shoulder injury and decided not to risk making it a career ending one. Everybody knows that except haters like you. :verysad

Here's more of your boxing "wisdom"

Journeymen? :nut This is the haters #1 attack (like calling McCall or Rahman bums to put down LL), discrediting a fighters opponents to diminish their achievements. The "this era is weak" is a corollary. Puritty was a durable fighter, Sanders a dangerous lefty who never seemed to take boxing very serious, and Brew... why he was the next big thing until Wlad finished what SL started. The only thing :rofl :rofl :rofl is your boxing "knowledge".

Here's more laughs...

and

Louis was 27 - I'll say it slow t-w-e-n-t-y s-e-v-e-n. That's past his prime? :nut Damn, I know Joe didn't age well but if he wasn't in his prime at that age, when was he? The nite past it CW Max KO'd him? :rofl Which is it, did Louis have this great short prime like Tyson, or did he have this long reign due to fighting in a weak era. YOU are saying he was past his prime vs Conn, then he must have been fighting in the worst HW era ever ! Articles I've read state that Conn was no more than 169 vs Louis. Wlad would have demolished Conn on an off nite. Wlad's in his prime now, destroying real HWs from slick guys like Byrd to Brew, Brock, & Austin. Just because your panties are tied in knots over it doesn't make it any less true. Based on Louis performance vs SMW Conn he'd have struggled vs every one of them except maybe Austin - and that's a big maybe. :deal And not on the same nite, but months apart. :yep

Please give us more of your NotsoGreat boxing knowledge :nut :rofl

 

i feel he would. imo wlad is simply to evolved and is a stylistic nightmare for an old timer like jou louis.

 

that's great, but perhaps wlad should focus on unifying the titles, so when his career is over he might be mentioned in the same breath as truly great fighters like louis

 

:-(

 

Look at the manuals of the time if you don't believe me. They did try to cut weight to an absolute minimum. I am certain he was doing massive amounts of cardio and weight-cutting, and pretty certain he was cutting water weight--the idea being to come in as light as possible. Even at a later date, Ali was using diuretics to try to drain weight during his fight with Holmes.

Heck, you want more proof? Look at Louis's dehydrating himself for the Conn fight. It's pretty well recorded. These two articles took me about ten seconds of googling:

Look for "dehydrat" in the search bar.

 

Yuck, yuck. There's an old saying in boxing - don't hook with a hooker. I can be as sarcastic as anybody on ESB. :yep

I'm no school boy, sonny.

Now at least you're presenting an argument, instead of the "this era is weak" bs. I understand you and many other don't like the current HW title holders - usually for national, racial, or nostalgic reasons.

Then who was suggesting JL was past his prime? :huh It wasn't me. Yes, Conn was an ATG - as a SMW & LHW. Let's not forget that either !

 

A middleweight who weighed 174 pounds. I guess he was the only middleweight of that period who was allowed to come into the ring 14 pounds overweight.
