Wladimir Klitschko express!!!

Since your from Chicago, I guess you believe that Wlad could beat the Bears Brian Urlacher's ass in street fight?

 

The first flush right hand would put Urlacher down and out... quite possibly with permanent consequences, such as brain damage. Wlad would most likely break his hand though.

 

Of course Urlacher would stand there with his hands behind his back and wait for the big punch? I mean why would you expect him to even consider fighting back aganist the greatest street fighter of all time?

Ok, so Urlacher would rush in, just like when he stops running backs, and eat a left hook or a jab. The first would KO him, the latter would at least stun him...

 

If he knows whats good for him he would just run at mere sight of Wlad! I'm shaking at just the thought of Wlad myself!

 

Wlad is getting more and more respect. There used to be plenty of haters running around this forum claiming Wlad would lose by KO to any random heavyweight because his chin is glass. Dont see too many of them anymore

 

He sure got lucky there.


Two more anecdotes here:

Jim Brown was challenging Ali for a fight, telling the public how he would crush him, etc. Ali laughed it off at first but Jim persisted, so Ali let Jim hit him. Shortly after, Brown dropped the entire idea. Ali easily slipped a succession of punches Jim threw and apparantly he didn't like his chances anymore without taking a single hit.

One involving Sonny Liston:

William Afflis, billed as Dick the Bruiser in the 50's & 60's was a 250lbs former lineman with the Green Bay Packers and was noted for his loud mouth and swaggar, as well as spectacular physical strength.

In or around 1962, Sonny Liston caught up to him in Las Vegas and beat the **** out of him in broad daylight outside of the Thunderbird casino, reputedly for having made comments inprint about Boxing's heavyweights that Liston perceived as less than flattering.

The story was that Liston beat him into a corner outside the Thunderbird of the building and just kept slapping him in the face until he tearfully apologized and said "I just wanna go home now".



Now i'm not saying Klitschko is an Ali or a Liston, but i think many people underestimate just how incredibly fast and powerful most professional boxers are, not to mention a huge mother****er like Klitschko. I can't find the video anymore, but there was a video showing him working the pads. You could just see Steward physically being moved back and the speed of the punches was incredible. Imagine that with bare hands. If he lands as much as a single punch that guy will either quit or get knocked out; probably the latter.



I remember some guy here on ESB claiming he had a 20% punchers chance against Wlad because he weighed 220lbs.

 

Its rediculous to assume that a good big and powerful football player can hold his own, or even defeat, a boxer who does nothing but improve his ability to hurt someone with his fists, and not get hit in the process.

When you specialize in hitting someone, hard, and not getting hit back, you get very good at it, especially when compared to some oether athlete who is not a boxer.

I think even the Guinn, Barrett, and TOS level heavyweight fighters would absolutely beat the HELL out of the best, biggest and most baddass profootball player out there in a boxing match. Maybe thrash most of them in an all out street fight, as well.

 

As much as I'm not a Wlad fan, he would kill Shockey in a street fight..
