Who would win in a fight between Joe Louis and Vitali Klitschko?
Louis was a almost complete fighter, after a early in career technical stance fix due to knockout, he was on a roll regularly knocking out the ‘bum of month club’ this were actually the contenders of that time. Rated in the top ten, they were not super talented but not bums! In Vitali Klitschko you have a very underrated, iron chinned brother of the lessor Wladimir.Vitali only lost two fights, one to a torn rotator cuff, one to bad cuts where Lennox Lewis fouled , and butted and rubbed the cuts! In a fight Lewis was losing! So Power. About a wash, Louis could really punch. So could Vitali , his big right was a great punch . Durable. Wash Boxing. Louis. Was a tad slow a foot but had fast heavy hands! Vitali has the tall awkward European style that would give Louis problems Louis jab might be a tad stronger , off set by longer reach of vitality! Let’s fight. Joe circles around the larger Vitali , who keeps him at bay with his extended reach and stiff Jab. Occasionally Louis will land a combo , but he has a harder time landing on him because of the reach difference. Comparing Primo to Vitali is just wrong as Primo was a tragic gang sit up former strong man who couldn’t box at all! Vitali can box and punch! See Louis against Buddy Baer ( 6 6 slugger) on YouTube he gave Joe problems and even knocked him down! If Louis/Klitschko fought 4 times I figure it would end up split 50/50 as this is hard style for both! Follow me for boxing
Jack Dempsey vs Wladimir Klitschko and Rocky Marciano vs Vitali Klitschko?
Lol I needed this laugh today thank u James u da man! ''The Manessa Mauler'' would do just that to the china chinned tu-tu wearing poke and run fairy known as ''Dr.Lamehammer''. Dempsey would probably have to chase Klitschko around the ring, and yes he would give up alot in height and weight, but power and heart would be the huuuuuuge difference. If Wlad could withstand the initial assault from Jack he would be on his bicycle and poking and pawing with his overrated jab trying to keep Dempsey at bay. If this fight lasted more than 5 rounds it would be a shock. Dempsey had no patience with pansy fighters and if u look at old film he liked a brawl simple as that. And when lumbering giants like Willard and Firpo came at him u seen the results. Wlad has power and good size but Jack Dempsey would chop him down like a tree within 5. Rocky Marciano because of being shorter 5'10 1/2 than most of his opponents, and lighter needed to train twice as hard to be the legend he was. His training was beyond legend, using 300 pound heavybags that he would hammer and they would move as if he was hitting a regular bag. Running up mountains then running backward down the mountains to build up his legs and stamina, shadowboxing in a pool throwing hundreds of punches, the list is endless. All this to prepare to fight larger men. Ezzard Charles said Rocky's chin was like hardened steel. And when people give Vitali props for his ''heroic'' battle against Lewis, for fighting with a cut eye I laugh! Try fighting with your nose split in half like the Rock did!!!! Or better yet do what the Rock did and hold it apart laughing after the fight!! Vitali has a better chin than Wlad and good heart. All of which ''The Brockton Blockbuster'' would rip out. People often argue that the old timers would not last against the athletes of today. In some cases thats true. But not in either of these cases. Rocky Marciano would fight past the jab of a man nearly a foot taller and hammer his ribs, bring down the body the head will follow and after a brutal battle Rocky wins by 7-10 round kayo. The Klitschko's could then take their P.H.D.'s and become vets at a animal hospital.
Ezzard Charles vs Vitali Klitschko. Who wins?
Vitali wins. Too big and too strong. The size difference is massive and atheletes have advances a lot since 40's and 50's. He also has an iron chin and very good defence, so chances of Ezzard stopping Vitali are extremely slim. Vitali uses his jab to keep Charles away, wearing him down and probably landing big right hands in the later rounds, until Charles can't continue. Vitali TKO8
Sam Langford vs James J Jeffries. Who wins?
Good Question & Good Fight---You are correct--- Joe Woodman ( Sam's manager ) placed newspaper ads offering to fight any man in the world EXCEPT Jim Jefferies ( the ads actually named Jefferies).-- In their prime, Jefferies was quick ( 110 yard dash in just over 10 seconds ) & was so powerful & strong that he broke the ribs of Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Corbett & Tom Sharkey when he fought them. Jefferies really did later offer to fight Fitz, Corbett & Sharkey ALL IN THE SAME NIGHT but they all declined his offer. --- I think that Langford & Sharkey were the 2 greatest fighters who never became Champ but Jefferies was too big & powerful for Sam & would beat Langford.--Jefferies by KO.
Earnie Shavers vs Riddick Bowe, 15 rounds, who wins?
