Do you Wlad of today would have beaten Corrie Sanders?

[Elroy1]

Nothing but speculation. Just because a fighter goes a streak doesn't mean they are suddenly immune to losing.

Wladimir had a rematch clause he never exercised, he chose to rebuild instead. And you can use the Vitali beat him line but there was plenty of time prior to that where Wladimir could of tried to avenge that defeat.

He had his number, Wladimir knew it and wanted no part of him again and who can honestly blame him? He got destroyed in that fight and the same result would of happened if he had of exercised that rematch clause.

The fight was nothing but a back and forth slugfest in which Wladimir very early got his head crunched between Sanders head and his fist from which he never recoverd.

Everything after that is really irrelevant because from that moment on, Wladimir was ****ed!

How can you claim that one fighter had the others number under these conditions?

How can you claim one fighter had the others number when they only fought once for a total of less than 2 rounds?

How can you claim one fighter had the others number when one of them CLEARLY underestimated the opponent?

How can you claim one fighter had the others number when each time Wladimir lost he strikingly altered his style?

What a silly comment!

No, Sanders beats him ANY day of the week and twice and Tuesdays. It's just a bad stylistic match up for Wlad, out of that southpaw position that straight left of Sanders will always find a place on Wlads chin. I mean Wlad is the greater boxer no doubt, but in a head to head with Sanders he'd get annihilated again. There was a reason why he got his brother to fight to avenge him.

Lets not kid ourselves. I don't like Klitschko, but Sanders was lucky. It was a great win for him. Glad he won. I don't like Klitschko. But Klitschko would have beat Corrie Sanders any day of the week had they rematched.

It would be a demolishing fight. Sanders would get destoryed.

Style-wise, this was never a good match for Wlad. He got caught and hurt in their fight and he never recovered. This has happened to him from time to time. His chin fails him, not really his heart.

Wlad is a lot better now, but he still is kind of mechanical and isn't the fastest guy in the world. Corrie always had sneaky, hard, snapping punches, but as many other here have pointed out... he ran out of gas as his fights progressed.

I'm guessing, in a rematch, that Wlad would fight much more defensively, boxing primarily with his jab, and not allowing any easy openings for Sanders. Once Wlad saw Corrie getting tired he might open up and stop him in the mid to later rounds.

Sanders was never very good, he had an amazing night. I loved every second of it, but he wouldn't win again.

Sanders would have a good chance of beating this Wlad. He's all wrong for Wlad with decent hand/foot speed, good power, southpaw, throws combinations and follows up.

No it was not a back and forth slugfest at all, it was a one sided destruction in which Wladimir barely landed a single punch.

What headclash?

He negated everything Wladimir had to offer. He took away his jab & forced him to lead with his right hand & countered everytime he tried to hit an angle on the way out.

[dan_cov]

Where is the headclash?



Where is this back and forth 'slugfest'? That was no back and forth slugfest, that is a one sided ass whoopin'

I swear Klitschko fans live on another planet from everyone else

Sanders is all wrong for ANY boxer, not specifically Wlad. Everytime he faced a top opponent (Wladimir, Rahman, Vitali), he won by KO, or nearly won by KO precisely by being so awkward and dangerous with his unique qualities.

I would never dismiss Sanders punchers chance vs any top boxer which is always relatively high.

But by far the greater chance always is that Wladimir beats him up.
