Corrie Sanders isn't even that good and shouldn't even be mentioned in same breath as Ali or Holmes i don't know why you think he is all that he has quick hands but not very good defense an ok chin and thats about itOriginally Posted by plinden
Ok I give up, lets pretend that ALi and Larry and Forman, despite not being able to put away 188-200 pounders, would steamroller over Corrie, Vitali and WLad. Lets dream on.Originally Posted by DaxxKahn

Its like they think that ALI and the other past greats are SUPERHEROES who -despite failing to put away 188pound guys- now would easily KO VITALI and CORRIE SANDERS and WLAD our greatest. ARCHIE Moore was almost 50 weighin 191 (!) when he went 4 rounds against ALIstooped Tko in 4th. You think Corrie SANDERS would need 4 rounds! lol. Corrie would blow them all out.Originally Posted by USA LOVES THE KLITSCHOS

Lets say they are equally strong, but Foreman had no good defence when younger. I would say that Wlad is about as dangerous as Foreman. They are all greats. I think that VITALI is the best HW ever. Foreman's sloppy defence would be his downfall against his enormous reach, and Vitali has never been down. If you can't KO jimmy young then you cant KO VItali.
The best HW ever.......Not to sound like a record but there was a guy named Ali who was DAMN!!! good and would have boxed Vitaly into the mat
Take RUDI LUBBERS, Rudi weighed 196 pounds. And Ali failed to win by ko despite being TALLER AND 20 pounds heavier!!!
Why in the whole world WOuld you even think THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN ALI WOULD BE ABLE TO EASILY KO A GUY WITH SKILLS AND 30 POUNDS
HEAVIER AND TALLER THAN HIM? he lost against a 200 pound Norton and then went 12 rounds against him to win. what about 250 Vitali? jimmy young 204 pounds whent 15 rounds against him. Evangelista went 12 of 12, Wepner went 15, Leon spinks even went 15 rounds. AND SO ON.
Vitali on the other hand KO nearly every oponent and has never been beaten, but retired while ahead because of injuries. Lennox is the only guy who could possibly beat him that well never know, but he was ahead on the cards.
But NO, you say that VITALI WOULD be floored?
AND YOU ALL SAY THAT I AM THE STUPID ONE.
cc plinden yeah Lennox took that bs win and ran never to come back, leaving a question mark in the history of boxing.It would have been funny if Hasim or Oliver would have retired just to deny him a rematch like he did Vitali.
I can't even acknowledge your post on this anymore...Your talking like a blinded fan....How old are you
There is nothing worng with being a fan and making a case for your fighter but you also have to use your knowledge of the sport....Past has nothing to do with it
And by the way, Corrie was far ahead against Rahman and was still standing, the Tubbs fight was a bad night. Only one other loss, v Vitali.
But I give up.
Boxers in Ali and Holmes era were tough and actually trained unlike bums today size makes no difference if your unfit and can't fight
