Does anybody else miss the Klitschko era ?

there can be absolute no question this era is by far stronger, we might finally see a fully unified champ, contenders like whyte and hunter fighting absolutely anyone.

let’s compare say ring 2010 v ring 2020

2010 ring rankings


Klitschko, Champion

1. Vitali Klitschko
2. David Haye
3. Alexander Povetkin
4. Tomasz Adamek
5. Ruslan Chagaev
6. Eddie Chambers
7. Denis Boytsov
8. Nikolay Valuev
9. Alexander Dimitrenko.
10. Chris Arreola.

Champ. Fury
1. aJ
2.Whyte
3. Wilder
4. Ortiz
5. Ruiz jr
6. Povetkin
7. Parker
8. Hunter
9. Rivas
10. Pulev

seriously ??? What list looks better to you?
I don’t understand why wlad fans can’t just hold their hands up and say the competition was boring and generally mismatches

 

Good champions in an extremely weak era, heavyweight boxing was at its lowest at that point.

 

Let’s do a head to head

fury v wlad - il take fury all day

Aj v vitali - tough match up, il go aJ, possibly by cuts/ injury. If chisora can Win 4 rounds off vitali then aJ can 100% beat him

Whyte v Haye - whyte is a better version than chisora. Chisora has Haye about to go. Whyte by ko.

Wilder v povetkin- prime ped povetkin probably stops wilder. Wilder always has the bomb though

Ortiz v Adamek- il take ortiz UD

Fat andy v chag- gonna go with chag tight decision. Fat andy is too unreliable

Old pov v chambers- old POV UD

Parker v boystov- parker tko. Boystov was being groomed as an easy defence for wlad but lepai upset that

hunter v Valuev - hunter SD. Hunter has shown he can deal with huge stiff mummys in Ustinov

Rivas v dimetrenko- although whyte beat Rivas, Rivas showed massive heart. Something dimetrenko doesn’t have. Rivas KO

Pulev v Arreola- pulev UD


So in comparison of eras I feel 2020 beats 2010 8-2 head to head

 

Alexander Povetkin, who had Teddy Atlas screaming his head off at him between rounds as he went 10 rounds with Nicolai Firtha in 2010, isn't beating Deontay Wilder ANY FREAKING DAY OF THE WEEK.

Povetkin isn't 6'9" and 270 pounds. And he wasn't then, either.

And the 6'9, 270-pound World champ only managed to drop Wilder with a punch to the back of the head. And Wilder got right up.

Whatever. The top fighters of this era are much better. And they are actually squaring off. More than once.

I'll take it.

The Klitschko era was like if the Sharkey/Carnera/Baer/Braddock era had stretched to 10-plus years. It was dismal, for the most part.

 

2010 POV was dangerous and has a good resume for someone never to have been champ. HOWEVER. I’m talking motherland roided to the gills povetkin.

if we go with the post failed tests povetkin who struggled with Marco Huck, then yes I suppose I make it 9-1 to 2020

 

Anyone make a case for 2010 coming out victorious over class of 2020?

it’s gonna be a stretch for even the most hardcore klit fans

 

Povetkin wasn't roided yet when he fought Firtha. That was pre-Marco Huck. He looked like a boy with a big head at that time. A big head for Wilder to hit.

 

He had byrd, Donald and chambers.
Then he popped. Suddenly he’s struggling against Huck and the like.

Boxing completely clean of any drug I would take wilder

 

WOW, This era compared to the 1970's or 1990's? No freaked way. I cant believe you even said that. No one would agree with that rubbish. You'd better hope few people are reading your replies.

This crop is worse than the Klitschko era, you just can't admit it.

By your own standard there are ver few wins over contenders under the age of 34. Why is that so Doublechin? T hey have proven nothing and defended against nobodies for the most part, except for old men, and non top ten rated opponents.

No one would compare Dunn or Evangelista or Admaek either, and let's get off him, he's far from the best Vitlai beat.

But okay this era is = to the 1990's and 1970's in heavyweight boxing. Your words.

END

 

Hilarious. You need to take a nap.

 

That's because I didn't say that.

I said this era will be compared to past eras (like the 70s and 90s) depending how fondly we remember the fights involving the top fighters.

Today's top fighters are squaring off, and the results so far have been pretty entertaining. We'll see how it goes.

The top fighters in the Klitschko era didn't fight (because mom would get upset). And the top 10 challengers, for the most part, were garbage. So the Klitschko era doesn't compare well to other eras.

 

The current version of Poverkin beats Wilder nevermind Povetkin in his prime. A tough Povetkin with arguably the best hook in the dvision and a good defence would walk Wilder down putting Wilder on the back foot rendering himself hepless.

 

Bunk. This era has no Ali, Frazier, or Foreman ( 1970's ) , nor does it have a Lewis, Holyfield or Tyson. ( 1990's )

 

look, I would genuinely take you seriously if you stayed the 90s was better than this era. Heck, I would even be interested in the 70s.

but to state the klit era is better than todays is complete, utter famboyism.

for example, I loved Ricky Hatton. Was right on the Hatton train. But he should have made the witter fight, and I feel it’s more on Hatton. Furthermore, I can admit he got kostya slightly past prime and struggled at welter.

honesty is not difficult
