Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs who everyone else fought
I like that list. Except Briggs loses by big fat asthma douche. And claims he just fought like a warrior and is the baddest man around...I'll take a crack at it, Lyle.....

Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs who everyone else fought
I'm not shocked about people picking Bruno or Morrison to beat Wlad but Rudduck
Those guys couldn't really box...Morrison did but vs a very slow George Foreman, Wlad is athletic and his jab is pretty damn good.
From how Wlad has been beaten before you either have to be able to sneak a punch in there and nail him and never let up or you have to take a beating and withstand until Wlad gets tired and those times are coming fewer and fewer as Wlad is fighting smarter. The guys who could do that are: Tua, Morrison, and Rahman. Tua has never been KO'd, Morrison fought with heart and could take a beating, and Rahman could sneak a big punch in, he did it to Lewis.
I don't see why people pick Bruno to win but I understand why they would like him to win, because he's the only true British heavyweight that was any good from the last couple of years....Lennox was Canadian/Jamaican/British so he wasn't 100% British the way Bruno was

Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs who everyone else fought
Razor Ruddock was a huge puncher and i can see him catching Wladimir Klitschko at some point and as for Frank Bruno he had terrific jab and was also a big puncher and was very dangerous in the first 6 rounds i can see him landing his big over hand right on Wladimir at some point.I'm not shocked about people picking Bruno or Morrison to beat Wlad but Rudduck

Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs who everyone else fought
I know they are both big punchers but they had trouble with the top level fighters. I would compare Rudduck to Sam Peter and Bruno to Hasim Rahman....Bruno got beat by the likes of Witherspoon and Smith and Rudduck never really had a close fight with any prime top tier fighter the closest he got was going the distance with Tyson.

Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs who everyone else fought
The thing is Frank Bruno lost to Bonecrusher Smith and Tim Witherspoon because they were able to wishstand Frank Bruno's power in the first 6 rounds because they were always durable which Wladimir isn't. And Frank Bruno lost in the later rounds down to confidence problems and stamina issues due too much muscle mass plus i can't see Wladimir surviving that long against Frank Bruno and plus Wladimir does have few stamina issues himself. I can see your argument regarding Razor Ruddock because he was sloppy at that times but funny enough i've seen few sparring clips of Razor Ruddock where he showed good skills and used his jab to good effect its quite strange he never showed those skills when he actually got down to fighting and just realied on his half left uppercut/half left hook the "smash"
Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs who everyone else fought
Rudduck had plenty of potential but yeah he fought sloppy....Frank Bruno still doesn't really impress me, I mean who did he ever beat?

Bruno finest hr was the Lewis fight and it was Micky Vanns lowest ebb. Great ref today but goes to show its not only Cortez and Nady that can favour a boxer.

Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs who everyone else fought
Bruno was miles ahead of Hasim Rahman. Smith and Witherspoon were both very good fighters. In his prime, Witherspoon would stand a very good chance against Wlad. He'd be a better bet than Ruddock or Bruno. Rahman's biggest moment was a lucky punch.
Still, I think Bruno loses to Wlad.
