  • Fantasy fights Wladimir would win

    I have never seen a poll or thread which would suggest Wladimir wins a fantasy fight on this website.
    Is there any he can win?
    One minute he is a head-to-head giant, the next everyone from history beats him.

    Here is a list of fighters who apparently beat Wladimir in a fantasy fight according to most of you & i've probably missed a fair few...

    George Foreman
    Mike Tyson
    Razor Ruddock
    Muhammad Ali
    Joe Louis
    Rocky Marciano *rolls eyes*
    Lennox Lewis
    Riddick ''Mr one night only'' Bowe
    Archie Moore
    Larry Holmes
    Max Baer
    Ernie Schaaf
    Evander Holyfield (prime)
    Vitali Klitschko - Personally I feel Wladimir dismantles him. Too fast all round.
    Tim Witherspoon
    Buster Douglas
    Frank Bruno
    Michael Moorer (prime)
    Sonny Liston
    Joe Frazier
    Floyd Patterson
    Primo Carnera
    Ken Norton

    Just my opinion but half that list don't even put a glove on the guy.

    Foreman, Ali, Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Holmes in their prime I'd give a good chance to but even then I think most could go either way.
    I think Foreman, Holyfield and Holmes present more threat than Tyson and Ali do tbh, just my opinion though.

    Would have to give a few others a punchers chance but that really is about it.

      Bolded the ones I think have a shot. 40/60 odds or higher.

      I would love to bold Frazier, one of my favourites, but I don't see it happening.

      I think Norton would trouble him for a bit and then freeze up when he gets hit and get stopped.

          It's entirely plausible that if Brewster and Sanders could stop Wlad, that many on this list could as well.

            Lennox Lewis is a styles nightmare for Wlad. I don't think people realize just how bad a styles nightmare it is for Wladimir.

            There is this one poster on ESB 'MAGNA' something.. He posts in classics, he sparred both Lennox and Wlad. He is a huge fan of Wlad's and he even admit Wlad hits slightly harder.. but he also said it was going to be a very bad styles match up between Lewis vs Wlad simply because of inside fighting. Lennox takes you down into the realms of nigthmare when it comes to inside fighting against fellow super heavys.. He not only is skilled at it but have a large variety of dirty tricks (head pulls, slashes,) that he get away with.

            Lewis vs Wlad WILL end on the inside due to a massive Lennox upper cut.

              It's impossible to say, considering he's not fought a single elite heavyweight (not his fault )

              So at best we can say "we don't know" how he'd do against that level of fighter, but it's disrespectful to say "he'd definitely beat" whatever fighter, who actually did prove themselves against elite opposition.

              Fighters who proved themselves in tough eras deserve better than that

              You get me?

                Wlad ko Christy Martin
                Wlad ko Goofy Whitaker
                Wlad ko Michael Grant

                There, three that I doubt will get too much debate going.

                  I don't know. Mariuz Wach was a homeless man's Michael Grant. Wach had Wlad stunned in the fifth and in panic mode. Imagine the actual Prime Michael Grant.

                    Yeah. I mean, he did put up a strong willed punching bag like performance for one round against Lewis while he was prime. Just imagine what he would do to a guy like Wlad!!!
