Wlad Klitschko Versus

[ThatOne]

Gerry Cooney
Max Baer
Primo Carnera
Jess Willard

[SaadOffTheDeck]

I think Wlad stops Cooney and wins decisions over Carnera & Willard.

Baer knocks him out.

[Ezzard]

Willard would be 50-50. Jess could land the fight finisher late.

[dempseyfire]

If the totally inept but durable/powerful Wach can hurt Wlad, the much more athletic and equally durable/powerful Willard can finish Wlad off.

Baer knocks him out.

Wlad decisions Carnera and knocks out Cooney, although of course Cooney may come in with more confidence than usual knowing one left hook will spell curtains.

[gilgamesh]

I think Wlad knocks them all out.

Baer has the best shot of them all, but I don't think he wins.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

I think Wlad knocks them all out.

Baer has the best shot of them all, but I don't think he wins.

He's never shown the aggression to stop guys with chins like Willard, Carnera & baer during his peak. Lots of jabbing and holding is the plan.

[pound per pound]

I would pick Wlad to win them all.

[dempseyfire]

I would bet tons of money on Baer over Klitschko. Even if Max doesn't get him early, he has the chin to stick around and come forward on an increasingly fatigued Klitschko. And Baer was far quicker and athletic than often credited.

Willard also had the stiff quick left jab . . who has Klitschko fought with a top jab? . . the guy hasn't beaten ONE heavyweight with a noted jab. And he's suddenly beating everyone head to head? It's a joke.
