Wlad vs the all time greats...few will acknowledge he beats most

[Jedi Vader]

Klit loses in every ATG match up. The guy is above average at best.

[Huxley]

Wladimir would do well against all of the past greats. Wlad is fast, has great footwork, excellent technique, very hard punches, and his chin is underrated. Plus he's a huge, yet very athletic boxer. All of the past greats would be in real trouble vs Wlad. IMO only Ali, Lewis and Tyson beats him.

Try to understand this ok...........Wlad was stopped by guys who couldn't break an egg compared to Joe Louis! You keep saying Wlad does this Wlad does that but what does Wlad do when he gets hit with left hooks to the body and short right hands to the head by Joe Louis? Do you think Joe can't slip inside Wlads jab? Whjats going to happen when Joe Louis is close? Does Wlad know how to fight inside? No! Does he know how to hold? No! What does he do with a fighter that has power in both hands?
Fellows wipe the Wlad Brown off your noses and try to evaluate skills instead of being fan-boys!
Szef99 1/2 you talk **** from your monitor but in person you'd wouldn't say a damn thing you little punk azz *****! HA!! Ray

Try to understand this, Joe Louis was just TOO SMALL, he wouldn't get past the jab, you keep bringing Wlad loses but you have to remember that was almost 10 years ago, Klitschko is completely diffrent fighter right now, Joe is all time great but today he would've been a CW, sorry but Wlad's size advantage and power would be too much for much smaller Joe. Wlad would do what he always does, jab-right hand-clinch. Is it pretty? No. Is it effective? Yes.

Oh, and FU too

Generally speaking.. A good big man beats a small good man.

Wlad's punch resistance would always be in question..

He has underrated foot work both in stalking and retreating. His jab is as snappy as some boxer's rear cross. He is predictable and yet so many fighters cannot seem to take advantage of it.

Holmes, Lewis and Ali have/had the size and skill to give Wlad fits, if not outright beat him.. But in no instance would their wins be guaranteed..
Wlad could conceivably beat them as well.

The rest, with the exception of maybe Johnson, would not have the required mix of size and skill to get to Wlad and would spend most of the night eating jabs and crosses and getting KO'd or losing wide on points.
Of course we are talking Wlad.. Whoever he is fighting ALWAYS has the puncher's chance.

Spot on

[AztecWanker]

a Manny Steward trained Wladimir loses only to Vitali, Lewis and possibly Holmes. He beats everyone else.

[Simurgh]

The only fighter I see as a clear favorite against Wlad is prime Ali.

After him I would give the best chance to prime Tyson (due to his style).
Lennox is 50:50 for me.

He would have a good chance of beating the others IMO.

[The Tase]

he loses to everybody except jeffries, dempsey and marciano.

he's not really a true legitimate bona fide great fighter. only great and a hall of famer by default due to an utterly horrible heavyweight era which he still fond a way to lose to mediocre fighters.

crap chin, crap stamina, crap stiff athleticism, devoid of fast twitch muscle fibers, and devoid of combination punching and excitement.

Wlad doesn't even make it past Tyson. Mike Tyson that is.

Wlad vs ATGs?? Such an original post...

[jimboinbigd]

I watched the Holyfield/Bowe 2 and 3 fights the other night and I think both of them beat the Klits. I also think Lennox, prime Tyson, Holmes, prime Ali, Foreman, etc beat the Klits. Klits might have won a few of those fights, but that would be it. I also think the Klits are juiced.

Ali - Wlad Losses by UD
Louis - Wlad by TKO (almost 30lbs weight difference)
Lewis - Wlad gets starched in 4
Tyson - If he can last 5 he wins by UD but prime Tyson would most likely starch him.
Holmes - Pick em fight.
Foreman - Foreman KO in 8
Frazier - Wlad late stoppage.
Dempsey - Wlad by stoppage.
