Sanders Would Still Kill Wladimir!!!

[PBDS]

....I predicted the other day that Wlad would use his optional on Sanders. He will kick Sanders ass just like he would have done the first time if he didn't come in over confident and unconcerned with the powerful lefty.

Corrie Sanders is reportedly in need of money...Wlad wants to avenge his loss, and now will be his only chance. I have a feeling it's going to happen.

I dont know if this has been posted on here but I said after the Brewster fight that Sanders would still kill him. The HW's all pretty much suck and Wlad is no different then the rest of them. He's just a step above because of his size. However, I still believe that if Sanders has anything left in the tank then he would kill Wlad nearly the same exact way. I dont care how much you think Wlad has improved, if he fought the same exact Sanders again then he would lose every single time. The only question is how much does he have left. If I knew that he would train completely hard for the last time in his career then he would be a sure bet. Even if he was fat, out of shape, but had enough stamina to go as far as he did with Vitali then he would beat him. I think he probally wouldve beat Vitali if he was a guy who trained hard and could fight nearly the same way for 12 rounds. No way Wlad survives with Sanders. That B.S. jab would not work on him and Sanders would show you that his chin is still the same weak ****. Here's the article
-------------------------------------


09.07.07 - By Jeff Bastasini: According to the latest boxing news, IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is considering a possible rematch with South African heavyweight Corrie Sanders (42-3, 31 KOs) for his next bout. Wladimir previously lost to Sanders, 41, by 2nd round TKO in March 2003, a bout which saw Wladimir knocked down four times before the referee finally halted the one-sided destruction in the 2nd.

Wladimir, however, was never able to land a rematch with the hard-punching Sanders, who ultimately was defeated by Wladimir's brother, Vitali, in a "revenge of the brother" scenario in April 2004.

The loss, though, has been a constant irritant for Wladimir Klitschko over the years, and something that fans have pointed to when they've summed up Wladimir's ability to take a punch. More than that, the lack of a rematch has also been a wonder to many of Wladimir's fans, whom have thought that he had little desire to take on Sander's again due to how easily he had thrashed Wladimir the first time out.

Sanders retired from boxing in late 2004, and stayed away until recently making a comeback in November 2006. Since then, he's had two bouts, stopping Colin Wilson in two rounds in November 2006, and winning a 10-round decision over Daniel Bispo in May 2007, a bout in which Sanders injured his left hand in the first round, making it necessary to fight one-handed for the remaining nine rounds. Despite packing on a little weight during his time off, the southpaw Sanders still reportedly has fast hands and punches incredibly hard.

Wladimir, 31, since stopping Lamon Brewster in the 6th round of their rematch on Saturday, July 7th, there's been talk of Wladimir taking on the winner of the heavyweight unification match between WBO heavyweight champion Sultan Ibragimov and WBA heavyweight title holder Ruslan Chagaev, which takes place in October 2007. Before any potential bout with either of them, Wladimir still has time to get in one more bout before then, and this is where a bout with Sanders possibly comes in to play.

At this time, there's not a lot of appealing options for opponents for Wladimir, since most of the heavyweights challengers are either old, such as Evander Holyfield and Oliver McCall, not well known or just plain damaged goods. In that case, Corrie Sanders appears the best of a poor selection. He still amounts to a substantial risk due to his 6'4" size, power, southpaw stance and quickness, so Wladimir will have to factor in the danger that a bout like this could present for him. In one aspect, Wladimir could revenge his most painful defeat, but on the other hand, there's always the risk that he could be knocked out once again. Their first fight wasn't remotely competitive and it appeared that Sanders was just a better fighter than Wladimir, much in the same way that George Foreman was able to dominate Joe Frazier each time

naa,,,wlad was loading up on right hands in that fight ( something he doesnt do anymore) which made it easy for sanders to catch him coming in with the left. all wlad would have to do is jab and show the movement he's been showing lately and then start opening up more when sanders tires. I dont think wald would have any problem in a rematch

I think Wlad beats Sanders today pretty easily. I'd say Sanders might rock him with a few shots early on, but then Wlad wears him out with the jab and either TKO or KOs him with the right hand. I'd go even further saying that this verson of Wlad beats the prime, in shape (realtively speaking) Sanders in similar fashion that Vitali did. And this is coming from someone with Sanders as his avatar

[beez721]

exactly. Wlad wouldn't be able to use his size advantage aganist Sanders as effectively as he did against Byrd, Peter and Brewster because Sanders is big himself. Remember too, Sanders whooped Wladimir's ass when he was on top. HBO was saying Wlad will be the next Lewis and has the chance to beat Lewis one day etc. Sanders beat him like nothing! Unlike Brewster who only got lucky w/ the win because Wlad was whooping him anyways. Wladimir is kind of scared of Sanders that's why he hasn't fought him all this time and for good reasons.

wlad clearly underestimated sanders. he showed no respect by loading up on his right hand. he did nothing but walk forward trying bomb sanders out,,,which made it easy for sanders to catch him walking into his left hand. the 2007 version of wald is 100 times better defensively

[beez721]

how is wlad different? You just think that because he got a good winning streak. He didn't get any better in my opinion. He just faced opponents he could beat easy (little guys).

lol,,,,peter 6'2 243 lbs is little as is austin at 6'6 245 lbs. and sanders in shape is only 225 lbs

[mECHsLAVE]

I'd favor Wlad heavily in the rematch, but I still think it's too much risk vs too little reward. Sanders will always be dangerous for 4 rounds, that's why he was avoided his entire career. And Wlad would be expected to blow him out, so it's a no win situation other than avenging a loss that most have forgotten about anyway.

[werewolf]

Corrie Sanders could have been the best of them all. Wlad had the misfortune to run into him one of the few times in his life that he bothered to get into top shape. I still can't understand why CS showed up to fight Vitali the way he did - fat! The biggest fight of his career and he shows up fat! Even so he was missing Vitali with bombs by inches. If he was in teh shape he was in vs. Wlad, I'm afraid it would have been another sad night for the K brothers.

I wonder why CS is now broke, like they say. I thought he owned a game farm or something.

This is true but unlike those other guys Wlad has recently fought, Sanders will still know how to get inside and get around that jab. Wlad definatly wont be as agressive but just look at his brother. Vitali never was and Sanders still got to him. I dont think Wlad can take those punches and I also think that a in shape Sanders couldve beat Vitali. If he could muster up the will to train for one last fight then I think he beats him. Also, that is still in Wlad's head. He will have a great game plan and will be very confident but once Sanders starts landing those shots that the other guys cant then Wlad will again lose confidence very quickly

[robjr]

The 2007 version of Wladimir would destroy the past prime Sanders, southpaw or not.

and you know this how?
