      I'd love to see prime Sanders vs Vitali, I got Sanders by KO.
      I'd pick Sanders over Grabbox Glewis and Holdhammad as well. Grabbox would hit the deck Rahman style. Holdhammed would've been straight outshuffled.

        The great Ali, who I assume you are referring to, went 14 rounds of non stop brutal rounds with Smokin Joe in 120 degree heat in Manilla. Grabimir wouldn't last 2 rounds in those conditions.

          Boxing is dying because the best continue to duck the best. Instead the "best" continue to fight bums.

            Wonder why people keep replying to an obvious troll thread...

            Then again, I'm doing it, to so I'm no better...

              While Lewis is not a great fighter, he is far better than either of the frankenstein twins. He showed he could actually fight on the inside and go toe to toe.

              A fat, shotter than shot Lewis destroyed the superior brother face in TKO6 fashion. The elder brother won the event though.

                Alexander "Mop Top" Povetkin has much rage coursing through his Slavic veins.

                He has been going full Drago on his opponents ever since Grabamir held him in a headlock for 12 rounds.

                Povetkin must get his revenge for Mother Russia.

                  Yes, Grabimir could not handle the pressure Clinchi and Frazier, which would be the 2 weakest opponents he ever faced.

                  Fortunately, he would probably not need any more than 2 rounds to knock out either

                    You mean the heftiest most experienced version of Lewis stopped a pre-prime Vitali Klitschko by way of extreme fortune.

                    Fixed it

                    And Lewis was one of the best fighters of all time too, same as both Ukranians.

                      Smart opinion.

                      I think LEwis was much better than Sanders but Lewis got lazy often. He would underestimate Sanders who would probably do exactly the same thing as Oliver McCall and spark him in 2.

                      Lewis went to war with Mercer and failed to stop Mavrovic.

                      Sanders was murderous in the first third of any fight and Lewis never fought a 6'4" ultra-aggressive fighter with exceptional handspeed and a cracker punch of Sanders stance.

                      In fact Lewis ducked all Southpaws.

                      I think Sanders is a prime case for a Lewis upset.

                      In terms of Muhammad Ali, Sanders would obviously **** him out early, a "prime" Muhammad Ali in the 1st round. That match only has meaning in nostalgist minds, every thinking man knows he would not stand any chances against Sanders.
