He would lean on them all and then get beaten.

I honestly believe that he would face alot of trouble against the previous champs, i just don't see Wlad's jab and grab style work against many of these former greats..

:deal

Re: How would Wladimir do against previous lineal HW champs?
 

He is more obviously flawed than anyone on the list except Vitali. His complete lack of an inside game is something you'd expect most great fighters to have few problems exploiting.

Wlad is near perfect at what he does well. However, he is far from flawless overall.

Wow, this thread has never been done before! Wladimir would have been top 50 at best.

Re: How would Wladimir do against previous lineal HW champs?
 

Lovely, all the Klitschko haters reunited in one thread wanking each other :rofl How much does it hurt you that they're on top with no end in sight to their dominance?

Re: How would Wladimir do against previous lineal HW champs?
 

W means wlad wins. D means too close to call. L means wlad loses.

Need to revaluate foreman before commiting.

When was Vitali Klitschko the lineal champion?

Re: How would Wladimir do against previous lineal HW champs?
 

I can see him perhaps winning against Louis, Marciano, Patterson and Liston, rest he loses IMO.

Re: How would Wladimir do against previous lineal HW champs?
 

He became the man in the HW division when he beated Corrie Sanders.

Re: How would Wladimir do against previous lineal HW champs?
 

Wow, Patterson would have held his own but to discount the other 3 is just crazy. Neither Patterson or Marciano were true heavyweights most of their careers but they were true warriors.

Liston was a beast. Louis was a top level boxer and puncher. Marciano would have had a field day beating that big body.

Re: How would Wladimir do against previous lineal HW champs?
 

:huh All I'm saying is that Wlad has a chance against them.

Re: How would Wladimir do against previous lineal HW champs?
 

I think Wlad gets starched by all of them including his brother.

jab, jab, grab... doesnt work on real HW fighters.

hug and hold is not boxing, not inside fighting, and he should be duducted points for using this as a defense/protecting his glass chin.
