    The Klitschkos? Are you kidding? :)) Vitali was close to 3rd tier many years ago, Wlad was 4th tier. Current HW division sucks.

    ^ Exactly. The entire top 10, including the Klitschko's don't even have well rounded sets of skills.

    The Klitschko's have presided over the literal worst division in all of boxing history.

    For starters, I think I can match this up for a 8-3 Old-timers victory...


    Feed the weakest ones to Wlad and Vitali, then put Big George, Lennox, Mike, Razor Ruddick, and even Larry Holmes carefully against the others and you can make a case for the old guys.


    In fact, as someone else pointed out...

    Holyfield-Wlad might disappoint you.
    Lennox-Vitali? Should we go there again?:lol:
    Put Big George or Tyson on Haye, and you're probably flat out of options, my friend.

    Funny that he lost in 2003 to Lewis. Not a prime Lewis at that and Lewis certainly wasn't the greatest of all time at HW. :lol:

    Lewis > Klitschko's.

    This is a shutout victory for the 1992 cast.

    Wlad and Vitali would never beat Holyfield from the 90´s, not a chance. I doubt they would beat old Foreman from that time, his power would scare the **** out of them. Will not even mention what Tyson would do to these two so called "HW kings".

    You guys mean the Holyfield that was so juiced out of his gourd that he suffered heart failure as a fit, world class athlete?

    Yeah, Wlad beats him. Evander has a hell of a resume as far as who he fought and always fought with heart in the ring, but that doesn't alter that he was the epitome of the steroid-drenched 90's scene, when the PED's went from being fairly common to competitive requirement. Who knows what a clean heavyweight Holyfield was capable of?

    I recall seeing Wladimir down vs. Samuel Peter 3 times, KOed by Brewster and Sanders and generally gets panicky everytime he's hit clean. Being that he has no adversary currently with well rounded skills, accurate punching and the ability to get past his jab... he's been at the top.

    Holyfield at his best has everything necessary to beat Wladimir. He'd hit him quite a bit and Wladimir would crumble.

    Didn't we see Mariusz Wach stun Wladimir? Wach is a 4th tier level fighter compared to an elite fighter.

    Holyfield by KO. I can't believe people rate the Klitschko's so highly.

    The Holyfield that fought Lewis in 99 would KO Wladimir, much less peak early 90s. You guys are crazy, hahaha.

    You mean that peak, tip top athlete whose heart almost gave out due to HGH abuse? The guy that literally almost juiced himself to death?

    May as well brag about how the energy companies today aren't as profitable as prime Enron was.

    Kinda like a former LHW whose best win at HW was Bert Cooper beating prime juiced-out-of-his-gourd Evander would be heresy, right?
