In response to a thread made yesterday regarding Wladimir's chances against some of the Heavyweight divisions golden boys, which fighters from yesteryear do you think would lose to this modern day heavy? After a few setbacks, Wlad seems to finally showing the talent that he promised back in 2002. However do you rate his chances against these guys?

Joe Louis - VK is way too big. Louis would get KTFO, he is not even a heavyweight by todays standards.
Muhammed Ali - VK gets TKO'd
Larry Holmes - VK gets KO'd
Rocky Marciano - Again, way too big for marciano to handle, marciano would be eating straight punches and getting KO'd before he got anywhere near being on the inside.
Lennox Lewis - prime Lewis would KO VK
Evander Holyfield - Holyfield loses this, too big for him.
George Foreman - VK gets KTFO
Jack Dempsey - Too small to fight VK would get KTFO like Rocky Marciano
Joe Frazier - VK gets KTFO
Mike Tyson - VK gets KTFOComment

do you know who Primo Carnera is? if not, I suggest you look him up and then you tell me if Wlad is too big for the best Heavyweight ever in Joe Louis.. 100Joe Louis - VK is way too big. Louis would get KTFO, he is not even a heavyweight by todays standards.
Muhammed Ali - VK gets TKO'd
Larry Holmes - VK gets KO'd

I think Louis would beat Wlad, but Carnera was a piece of **** compared to Wlad. Carnera just had size, Wlad is actually athletic and knows how to throw good punches. big difference.
He would have a decent chance against a few, only one Im positive he would beat is Dempsey.
Holyfield and Marciano get the ?, but on the other hand, they were pretty hard punchers with great stamina and tons of heart.Comment

Pretty much all of them. This does not mean that Wlad is a champ of their caliber as of yet. But head to head most of those little men stand little chance.
Holmes and Lewis are the easiest. Both were tall jabbers fighting a taller guy with a better jab and more two-handed power, and better handspeed.
Marciano, Dempsey, and even Tyson would be easily eliminated and way overmatched.
Frazier stands a better chance than those three of both getting past the jab and suffering the beating needed to get close to Wlad.
Holyfield and Ali are in the best position to take Wlad away from his game.
Louis I'll give the nod out of respect, though Wlad would be by far the best guy he ever faced. Wlad is no Max Baer, no Schmelling either.Comment

A lot of people don't know that Schmelling knocked out Louis in Louis' prime. Instead of Schmelling then getting a title shot, Louis gives Braddock 10% of his purses FOR LIFE to get a shot at the title instead. The rest is history, Louis gets knocked down by Braddock but goes on to beat him and then later avenges his loss to Schmelling, though Schmelling was washed up at that point.Comment

Hey bro, Wlad would beat little Tyson,Louis,Holyfield and Ali, he is too strong for them. He would also outjab Bowe and Holmes, those two could be beaten with great jabs and Wlad has a great jab and punches harder than them.
The toughest fights for Wlad would be Lewis and Foreman, those are pickem fights.Comment
