:lol:
Hmmm, left hookers tend to have problems against southpaws. If Zab fights smart he might be able to neutralise Fosters' offence quite a bit.
Lets stop the fussin' and the fightin' & all just agree that Vitali is quite good at boxing and that some other boxers were really good at boxing...
Two guys that rely on range & have very similar styles. One guy has 5" on the other. Ali couldn't cope with Foreman's size because Foreman could...
As I've said before, Ali & Klitschko have VERY similar styles in terms of their defence and reliance on range. One uses height, the other uses...
Well that depends what elite means. As good as Lewis? No. But then head to head, I'd fancy Lewis as the greatest heavyweight ever. Beyond that I...
Very possibly.
I don't think the Lewis fight counts against him. I don't think it counts for him, either. I think it neatly puts him at his appropriate level - a...
In terms absorbing single shots Tyson's chin was just about as good as they came. the problem was with his style, once he started to unravel and...
C'mon man. A 'fact' without context is a stupid & dangerous thing.
Pure heavy agREED, mon. Yaaas.
How many other cuts as bad as Vitali can you name between fighters of comparable world class level? Quite honestly, I can think of Marciano...
Suffering a freak injury (and yes, a cut of that magnitude is a freak occurrence, its the type you see once a decade, at most, in superfights and...
One thing's for sure - this would be the stillest, scariest staredown in boxing history. Terrifying.
DLH at 140lb might be a legit example. Going back a couple of years....Jimmy wilde?
It is ghastly:jaw:
Yeah I forgot to mention work rate, Vitali must throw twice as many punches as Willard. And to throw that many without getting hit much isn't just...
I think everybody under 25 in the world was disappointed when Tyson didn't wax Lewis.
Great thread. I say a young Johnny Nelson.
Don't expect anyone will match those 3.
Fair enough, you're right. Quartey was a non-great fighter who was VERY reliant on one great attribute.:TLC:
Shavers - power, seemed the most obvious one to me.
Not terribly much. It's a good example IMO, 80% of Quartey's entire game was his jab.
Their styles are similar, but Vitali's understanding of range, accuracy, lateral movement & footwork generally are astronomically better.
Is this a serious question?
Like what they're both saying. Good luck to both, may the best man win, and so on.
You know boxing! And the game.:hammert:
Well technique obviously plays a part.....I mean a good boxing coach could take a guy off the street and increase his power by X% (probably a...
When a guy beats everybody in front of him barring fights he receives freakish injuries in and barely loses 5 rounds in the process..... you can't...
I wouldn't say it's so cut and dry.
Separate names with a comma.
