Ali cliched yeah , but he didn't back hump guys to death like Wlad did. And look who Ali was forced to clinch against - Fraizer and Foreman ffs- ATGs who were a nightmare for anybody to fight. Wlad was all over Euro level Hayes back piece , not only in the 12th , but throughout the whole fight. He lost a point for it in the 9th round. When Ali fought the rubber match against Joe , he was forbidden from clinching. Wlad should have been made rematch Povetkin and fight properly because that fight was an absoulte farce and 100% deserved to be ruled a NC. Memeber when Akawany was DQ'd against Lewis?? Wlad resembled Akawadny more than Lewis. He won that Povektin fight doing what Akawandy done against Lewis. Remember when Lewis pitched a clinch free shut out against Tua. Have a look at this against a poor man Tua This content is protected
Louis had a really weak chin. He was dropped by Walcott 3 times, dropped by Galento, KO'd by Schmeling, and hurt by featherfisted Conn.
Imagine Wlad getting hit by Sanders for 10 rounds. Thats what the Scmheling fight looked like. Louis could get hit and attack back immediately after wards. He had good powers of recovery. Louis got up faster than he went down against Galento and when he rose he absolutely annihilated him.
Exactly. He was rocked more times than Tomasz Adamek and by guys who wouldn't even be cruiserweights nowadays. Getting badly rocked by a SMW says it all really.
of course YOU cant. but that 4 round retiree would get wiped out as soon as he gasses to anyone else. but sure u tihnk the fat gives him such skills and power that he beats louis. Go iceskate uphill on another thread.
Regardless of the probability of it happening, if Louis took flush shots off Sanders for ten rounds he'd die.
so now u admit its not going to happen, but consider the possibility anyway. "ahaaa but I'd live on Mars for ten years, lack of atmosphere? np" nice one there. vetoing an impossibility as likely. u'd need two of sanders brothers in the ring as well to acheive what u wrote.
Considering both men lived in different eras and are now dead then yeah I'll freely admit I doubt the fight ever happens.
yeh that too, you got me there. BUT we have to give that a free pass for the hypothetical fight to happen. so no duh u didnt get me there. no way on earth u gonna get sanders in shape good enough to pound for 10 rounds. you gonna give sanders a free pass to be a "hypothetical sanders too". oh u already did anyway, becos hes not ATG killer, hes a failed but decent prospect when in his absolute prime.
Not as bad as people made it out to be. In my opinion, it wasn't bad at all. Average, sure, but bad, definitely not. People forget that iron chins in the heavyweight division are few and far between. A guy with that much mass and power hitting you, and a good chin will get dented from time to time. Wlad was never out cold that I saw. As a matter of fact, he got up when Sanders was nailing him, and also when Peter dropped him with a rabbit punch, and a shot to the face. People with bad chins would have been KO'd by those shots. He got up when Joshua tagged him, and took some helacious shots from Joshua. Somebody with a glass jaw would have been KO'd. So no Wlad didn't have a bad chin. It wasn't a great chin, but not bad at all.
I've seen Vlad hit extremely hard, his chin if find...................hell, Vitali had the best chin in boxing and he is Vlad's brother!
