    40 year old Wlad had Joshua all but out and Fury wanted no part of a career high payday rematch.

    That’s because he gassed trying to knock Wladmirs frail ass out. And he was green.

    Prime wlad would dominate this division. Stops Joshua and wilder and UD’s or stops Fury.

    prime wlad beats british robot 9 times out of 10. Better jab, better right hand, better left hook, higher ring IQ , better footwork and better defense, same chin.

    fury would never outbox prime wlad. I don’t think Fury would outbox joshua.
    Fury is prob one the most overrated boxers of all time. he couldn’t outbox wallin . Fury’s performance against wlad was no clinic it was a disgrace , prob most boring HW fight ever with fewest punches landed.

    Prime Wlad beats every one of these guys but most people don’t see the final bell because his style is like NyQuil. Zzzzz...

    Possibly one of the best HWs and definitely one of the most boring. I hated watching him fight. I’m not a fan of Wilder but I’d watch wilder any time over this guy. Prime Wlad schools Wilder but it would be painful to watch.

    Klitschko would absolutely dominate, like he did before. Fury would be the trickiest of the pack, but even there he would be the favorite

    I think prime Klitschko knocks out Joshua, out points Fury but loses by ko against Wilder.

    In fact I'd make Wlad a favourite over everyone in the top ten aside from Wilder.

    Conversely Wlad is the only one I'd favour over Usyk, none of the current HWs I would do.

    Laughable to suggest Pac and Marquez are on PEDS but Wlad is not?

    Wlad lost several times in his prime to lesser men than the current crop.

    Joshua was not in his prime when he fought Wlad either. 70-30 vs Fury? Fury made him look totally befuddled.

    Ross Purity & Lamont Brewster. Corrie Sanders would be 50/50
