Wlad vs the ATG HWs such as Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, Lewis, etc.

[El Kabong]

Tyson with Rooney or without him the Peek-a-boo style has its faults and fighting lanky boxer/punchers who use their height and reach to control range look at Tyson-Tucker and Tyson-Douglas, Wlad is far better than those 2. That style is also useless against bigger bullies see Liston vs Patterson.

These are all hypotheticals though and people are going to see things differently.

That I agree.


I would favor Wlad over anybody else if he has his brother's chin.

People are saying that Wladimer would beat Ali because of his size? Ali had no trouble with people Wladimer's size, do people forget that one of Ali's most dominant performances was against Ernie Terrell. Terrell was as tall as Wladimer and had a longer reach and even he had issues landing a jab on Ali and Ali completely nullified his jab.

Watch this vid at about 10 seconds.



That's Ali against Terrell, he has a longer reach than Wlad and is the same size, Ali completely took his left away from him.

Don't pick Wlad just because you think he has size over Ali, Ali had no issue beating fighters with size nor nullifying fighters with strong jabs, if we're talking prime for prime I wouldn't pick Wladimer over Ali.
