To be fair those two guys didn't achieve those things against Prime Klitschkos. The Douglas that beat Tyson was as good as he would ever be.
Neither Klitschko has ever shown they are elite with any type of decent pressure fighter, therefore I could never expect them to perform well against a great one.
doesnt quite workatsch Danny williams KO'd Tyson and Vitali **** slapped him and wlad would have probs killed all the tyson beaters in his prime wlad has not been beaten just like tyson was not.(apart bustar douglas but thats debatable.) IMO this era is better than Tysons Era ......BUT....I do think tysons era was much tougher (less skill but far less gun shy) either way I see the K Bro's dominating both eras
Guys dont listen to Silencer, hes a newbie A$$hole in fact i ripped him another one on another thread just yesterday Klits are great no doubt, greatest of this era IMO but comparing them to Iron Mike Tyson is like comparing a Honda To A Rolls Royce..... Tysons era was a lot better than todays garbage. They were better skilled, and in better shape. Apart from Tony Tubbs But compare Tony Tubbs to Sam Peters or Arreola....he would beat the $hit out of both of them. Tysons era was way better and he single handedly cleaned out the division and wiped the floor with it upto the point that the only opposition he had was the undisputed Cruiserweight champion and an old man making a comeback, The Klitschkos on the other hand are doing a workmanlike job on mediocre opposition but nothing impressive.
True but fans of todays gargabe will come out with some twisted $hit like "Audley Harrison is a great fighter, he won the olympics, he beat fellow ATGS like Danny Williams and Mike Sprott no way could the likes of Bruno/Tucker/Tubbs/Holmes/Ruddock/Spinks compete with him. (delete where appropriate)
The eighties heavies were a lot better than the current crop. Other than the Klits I wouldn't pick a single one of them to even beat Bonecrusher Smith, let alone the likes of Tillis or spoon
All these guys (apart from VK/WK and Adamek) are utter utter UTTER SHITE, its unbelievable. Audleys got some great attributes, but he's missing a heart and a pair of balls....similar to...Bruce Seldon?
ruddock, tucker, older rusty holmes, thomas, buster in good form, and maybe bruno and couple of others would top wlad's opposiition pretty clearly except for an in shape sanders
