You know that's not true.
Vitali and Wladimir would not be allowed to even fight 60% of all of that eras opponents.
Of the remaining opponents, they knock practically every single one of them out, most of them in the first round.
Both Klits knock Frazier out in the first round.
LacedUp says "Oh, but Wladimir hasn't knocked out an opponent in the 1st round for YEARS".
Wladimir hasn't faced an opponent as weak as Frazier IN years (if ever).
Every time Wladimir DID face an opponent who hypothetically was as weak as Frazier, he DID knock them out in the first round.
Every opponent he has faced in recent times has been a top contender of some description who is either an exceptionally skilled counter-puncher, an elite athlete, or a hulking power puncher, or iron chinned strong man, or a combination thereof. It should come as NO SURPRISE that he no longer scores 1st round KO's.
He is no longer ALLOWED to fight opponents as weak/bummy as Frazier.
And what happened when he fought an opponent who was 7lbs heavier, leaner and more athletic and more skilled than Frazier, hiot harder, had better chin who was also 2" taller than Frazier to boot? A former multiple world CW champ who muscled up to HW (Mormeck)?
He was accused of "CHERRYPICKING" and ridiculed for picking "SUCH A SMALL OPPONENT"
If Wlad or Vitali ACTUALLY fought Ali, Frazier or their opponents, they would be SLAMMED for staging a title defence against such ridiculous opposition.
