Corrie sanders vs gerry cooney...

[El Kabong]

But the thing is Corrie Sanders was never fully dedicated to boxing so he was never really in top boxing shape. He beat Wlad at a time when Wlad was putting himself in vulnerable situations due to the style taught by Fritz Sdunek (quality trainer though). Wlad gave up his height & reach and at that moment in his career he was a little stagnant as he was attempting to get a fight with Lennox Lewis but had to settle for lesser fighters and he couldn't keep up his hunger to beat guys who he thought were beneath him.

Gerry Cooney was a heck of a fighter, he was mentally ruined by Larry Holmes who would have toyed with Sanders. The fight vs Holmes was huge and Cooney suffered depression after it and fought alcoholism as well. The point I'm trying to make is at his best Gerry Cooney was a ferocious fighter who did challenge Larry Holmes meanwhile Corrie Sanders was a guy who boxed so he could afford to keep playing golf.....Sanders was talented but he's not special because he didn't train and dedicate himself to the sport.

If the Wladimir Klitschko that's fighting right now, fought the A#1 best version of Corrie Sanders....Wlad would dominate him easily. Wlad lost to Sanders because of mistakes Wlad made, not because Sanders was in amazing shape or determined to upset the apple cart.
