Wladimir Klitschko .Vs. Max Baer

Baer quit vs Louis, and flirted with DQ's in other fights. If anyones heart should be questioned in this match, its Baer's.

Pretty much Agree. Outside of the puncher chance, Baer doesn't have much of chance.

 

Your lack of paying attention to threads gets extremley irritating my friend. I happen to be a huge wlad klitschko fan, I am just realistic. I am not a vitali fan at all.

one the last knockdown wlad went down without barely being hit, he started huffing and puffing heavily and looked like he was about to have another panic attack.

who says baers left was non existent? what draws you this conclusion?

you mean the lackidasical passive boring pawing wlad of today is better than the two fisted assasin of the 1990s who let his hands go like joe louis?

 

but did he correct his flaws? the only dangerous pressure puncher wlad fought with his new style was sam peter, who floored baer 3 times!!! baer actually had much faster hands than peter and hit just as hard, and better durability.

 

It doesn´t look like. If it would be so you wouldn´t have mentioned the three kds without mentioning two coming from illegal shots. Perhaps you were one at a time in the past but not nowadays, just doesn´t look like it. But well, i was a fan of Tyson and Jones once but their behaviour, career choices and development over the time made me to the complete opposite. so, i can understand you are dissapointed about Wlad.

Neither did he get one nor was he hurt. Also, he got hit with harder punches during the fight without beeing hurt or getting a panic attack.

Well, not existent may be a but exaggerated but i hardly saw him throw a dangerous left hand.

Yep. Not as exciting but a good amount harder to beat. His offense now is more limited and he isn´t as spectacular as he used to be but now he has better stamina, paces himself better, has a better defence and fights more intelligent. Just all around he is better now than he was in the 90s.

 

Wlad by TKO in the mid rounds.

 

Baer was unpredictable he took a good deal of punishment in both the Nova fights when he was clearly past his best,Wlad is the better technician ,but if a confident Baer comes in to the ring I think he has the power to stop Wlad ,and the chin to absorb his best shots.If Wlad had Baer's chin he might be an ATG.

 

I agree but want to throw in that Wlad didn´t have huge problems with Peter´s rough house tactics in their fight, Baer´s obviously better in that though.
Baer my have an equal range but he still would need to get by Wlad´s jab and that isn´t as easy as it sounds. I think to beat Wlad you need either very fast hands or more of a swarmer style. A normal puncher has a chance but not as much as somebody with the mentioned attributes.

Well, Ibragimov and Thompson fought to survive not to win, at least that´s the impression i had, but you´re right he didn´t look good in these fights. I´m looking forward to his fight with Povetkin.

Haye has the speed and the power to beat Wlad but i think he´s more mouth than anything else. I doubt they ever fight because Haye will lose before they meet decisevly and then go back to cw.

 

Klitschko won't be able to knock Baer out - Baer had one of the best HW chins of all-time, and he was one of the hardest punchers, too. That adds up to Wlad getting stopped, probably somewhere in the middle rounds.

 

Why am i not surprised about your prediction?

 

Well he sees Lewis-Baer as a clear-cut KO win for Baer, so it's hardly surprising to see him pick Baer over a "lesser" version of Lewis.
