Corrie Sanders gave both Klitschko brothers hell, destroying Wlad in two.
That was a Wlad in his physical prime, and even a old 41 year old past it Wlad gave Joshua a hell of a fight, and maybe if he stepped on the gas he would have put him away.
Sanders was a huge puncher himself and could take a big punch as well.
Not the most skilled, but had heart and willing to bang and trade with anyone.
Especially with the like of Joshua and Wilder who fancy their power.
Vitali said Sanders was the toughest fight of his career. Coming from a hard man like Vitali, that's something else. Sander's short left was truly amazing, so much power from hardly any distance.
As for Wlad, the older smarter WK would have beaten Corrie IMO. Wlad went into the first fight like an idiot, expecting to KO Sanders and walk away.
Yea well thats the thing , i think he defeats a lot of fighters in any era bc of his dimensions ... and needs a punch to keep opponents off him .
But im also not an idiot and expect a guy who matches his own dimensions like Joshua to dismantle him and get the K.O sooner then later .
Well, we hope to see that fight. It's a highly anticipated match.
no one beats prime wilder!
fury retired because he knew he would have to face wilder!!
AJ is currently avoiding wilder the same way fury wanted to
corrie sanders would get murdered.....any sanders would get murdered by wilder...barry sanders, larry sanders, satch sanders, sarah huckabee sanders, etc ...you name it
I looked at the face to face and you can literally see when Fury's spirit break while Wilder is talking. Then he repeats what Wilder said to save face, it was comical

There seems to be a misconception about Sanders bc Wlad overlooked him and he was also about 24 and 225 pounds still looking ahead for a Lewis showdown.
While Wlad didnt have Steward then , theres no indications he was inferior to Sanders based on him not sparring southpaws for that fight .
Interesting note is Lewis gave Sanders tips as USUAL on how to defeat Wlad bc he really was worried about him prior to Wlads loss .
I see a Wilder vs Sanders fight playing out like the Vitali fight , where Wilder eventually gets him .
I think all 3 defeat him just about always , i dont believe Sanders is the fighter Ortiz is , theres a clear ring presence with Ortiz that tells you a dangerous guy is there .....
Sanders ? Not so much ,fighters made him look better then what he actually was , defeating a guy like Vitali and doing good against him are two different things .
Joshua would knock Sanders out easily bc southpaws are easier for a counter right hand .
Fury out boxes him .
And Wilder would get a late rnd stoppage being behind on scorecards .
Thats the thing with Wilder , any match up you get you have to ASSUME he catches that fighter and wins .
Completely frustrating bc many guys could out box him so inots a completely useless when you add in other stats bc it then becomes void based on a more wishful thinking scenario . lol
If wilder looses a little power from his right hand, the brother is done.
He definitely has a puncher's chance with any heavyweight in history but I don't think he had supreme condition. If any fighter punched with him it could be their downfall.
He would have a solid puncher's chance to KO any of them but he would probably lose to all three of them. He was KOed by Nate Tubbs who was not a very good fighter.
He even had Vitali back peddling and Vitali was very willing to go toe to toe with Lennox
There was a moment where Vitali turned his back and ran - was comical.
I think he would have beaten them both. No if and buts about it, Sanders beats any version of WK and he would defo beat these two.
