How does prime Wladimir Klitschko do today?

It's not because he was 40? Lol

 

Mcline fought much better competition then Wilder.
Austin KOed Golota in 1. Had a draw with Ibragimov.
Who did Wilder beat? Ancient Ortiz?

 

I guess we'll never know. I think it would be an even playing field... I don't think Wlad would dominate guys like AJ, Whyte, Ruiz, Wilder, Fury

They bring too much power, strength, durability, dedication, intensity and killer instinct for Wlad to just walk through them.

You have to remember that Wlad was in great shape against AJ, and carrying a hell of a lot more experience than AJ at the time. That experience, as Chisora is proving with his recent string of successes... is a critical factor in many sports.

Sure it's a young mans sport, but they can still get schooled by Wlad types.

As for Wach vs Whyte being close? Hardly.

It was more than Whyte didn't look his best. Wach is known for being a tough SOB and grinding through rounds, but the fight was not competitive. Whyte was up on all the cards... and he was never troubled by anything Wach put on him.

Whereas Wach as tough as he was, was definitely feeling the pressure from Whyte in various rounds... his body language and facial expression was very telling.

Whyte would beat Wach 30 times out of 30, no doubt about it. And this what a 30 pound overweight weight, with terrible mental shape. And still won comfortable on the cards.

If Whyte fights Povetkin next, and gets back into physical shape and mental shape, he will prove how he is a level above hunter by stopping Povetkin in his tracks.

 

At this point ancient Povetkin is 50 50 fight vs Whyte. Whyte does not look the same as before. Clearly the steroid scandal affected him.

 

Povetkin vs Whyte will be a good stay busy fight before his real challenge, the rematch with Hunter.

 

At 41 he let Joshua off the hook. Could have walked him down and I suspect he might have felled Fury in their scheduled rematch.

In answer to the OP; a focussed prime Wlad rules the division.

 

This..There's too many good fighters around now and that would prevent Wlado from holding down the division in Europe where his bought off refs allowed him to break as many rules as he needed in order to win.

WK in this era would mirror the first 10 years of his career in which he didn't have the beneficiary of corrupt officiating and that lead him to take losses against Brewster and go life n death with a soup can like Sam Peters.
Vitali Klitschko would do better as his success wasn't as reliant on illegal octopus grabs.

 

He’d dominate bar Fury who would always be a stylistic nightmare for him.

Also for people saying this era is suddenly better I’d favour Chagaev, Ibragimov, Byrd, hell even McCline over the majority of the top 10 today.

 

Why would he do that? He was obsessed with winning that fight..He took the fight only to win.

 

McCline has some good wins and was a legit solid top 10 guy.

 

Yeah mentally it took its toll because he is human like you and me. We both have bad phases.

But physically he is still there. In his own admission, he is entering 2020 with maximum violence, he is just angry now, and wants to put as much pain on the division as possible.

Whyte is a level above Hunter, and come fight night... when Whyte is back into shape... you'll see what I mean.

 

Prime Jameel McCline would easily beat Wilder.

Remember what he did to a fighter very similar to Wilder?

That's a little harsh, he was ancient against Fury and Joshua but he certainly used his size advantages very well just like Lennox Lewis.

Lewis, Klitschko, Fury, Joshua and Wilder are big men with fast hands, lots of power(apart from Fury) and good athleticism. That is why they can beat slow weak fighters their own size like Wach, Wallin, Breazale and Thompson and they can dominate shorter fighters with relative ease.

However against each other they would not show that same level of domination as they share so many attributes.

 

Top mix with AJ, Fury and Beyonce: AJ was lucky to survive and Fury wasn´t able to make a dent = most boring fight ever..
