Would Wlad survive in the 90s?

:bbb

 

Yeah that was a Prime Riddick Bowe how about Klitchsko gettin stopped by a real bum named Ross Purity.

 

He'd defitely be a top contender in the 90s. I think he could trouble Holyfield and Bowe, and would beat other guys like Ruddock, Foreman, Mercer, Moorer, etc. Tyson and Lewis would destroy him.

True.

 

I have Lewis rated well above Holyfield in my ATG rankings.

 

I disagree.

Tommy had basic skills & a great left hook and a decent right hand. In fact I think his left hook may be one of the most perfectly thrown left hooks of all time and that's saying a lot.

But he didn't have a great jab or the combos or the ability to switch up his jab & turn it into a hook mid-flight the way Wlad does. Combine that with Wlad's huge size advantage & chances are Tommy's KO'd.

 

Purrity was not a bum. You would consider yourself lucky to have shared a ring the the same caliber of fighters that Ross did.

He was a gatekeeper which is to say a bit better than a journeyman like Gilberto Martinez. He has good power & a good chin & Wlad didn't take him seriously enough. He got tired and paid the price, his corner threw in the towel.

 

That was a prime Bowe also BTW. He had just demolished that cuban guy with the mohawk and he was expected to make quick work of Golota. The 2nd fight he couldn't even use the excuse that he didn't train properly or that he was out of shape.............

Nice try though! :good

 

Those would be his biggest tests & you can include Tyson for the first few rounds anyway..........................

 

That's ridiculous.

 

Wlad with would definately have a few more losses on his record in the 90's.
