WLAD Vs Tyson of Douglas Fight

Wlad would of beaten probably all those, with the possibly exception of Holyfield, who was past his best when he fought Tyson anyway.

 

He gave Larry a good fight( could have gone either way) and he was green but Tim was happy with that he beat a few top guys by close decision but training could have made him a better fighter. He was not in shape when he got KO'd in 1 by Boneclucther Smith. Tim had his moments but was a heavy pot smoker and was undertrained...I think the other drug filled contenders of the day Dokes, Page,Thomas and Tate had a better chance at beating Holmes at least when they showed up in shape.

 

There is no excuses though for fighters. Being a pot smoker or not taking training seriously is as big a flaw as not being a good infighter or having a bad chin. Thats why the word "great" shouldnt be thrown around so loosely, because it really takes a special person not only physically but mentally to maintain a championship pedigree if they have it.
Theres been a lot of shoulda woulda coulda's.

 

Absolutely......serious training make the difference...Max Baer would have been a much better fighter if he trained consistantly.....I agree....training is an important part of being a great fighter and dedication to it
