Would you rank the Klitschkos with these heavyweights of the 1990s?

Keep dreaming.

"In the second fight, Holyfield was prepared for the fight and it showed. He dominated Lewis with the double jab for extended periods in the fight and hurt and wobbled Lewis clearly and obviously on two occasions. He also rattled Lennox on a half-dozen other occasions, was the aggressor all night, landed the ONLY effective power-punches in the fight, And basically made Lewis jab, grab, and run or get KTFO. I had is scored 116-112 for Holyfield in the re-match. It is a little known and easily verified fact that HBOs ringside poll of the media after the fight was 16 for Holyfield, 2 for Lewis, and 1 for a draw. i think it was written by many that the second fight was "justice" for the first fight."

 

I'm looking at this list of 90s fighters and it's quite shocking how few fights happened between these fighters. The amount of ducking and avoidance was incredible.

 

Other than Lewis, the Klitschkos take all of the 90's versions of those listed.

In their first meeting, ,Lennox beat Holly 10-2 or 11-1.

The worst robbery pre PAC-Bradley !

 

Blind nuthugging right here. Lennox would ko you ***boy wlad in one round.

 

I wouldn't rank them because they were THERE! They just chose not to fight.

When they did fight? They LOST.

 

Think he is talking about the rematch, I had Evander winning that rematch to, Lewis clearly beat the **** out of Holyfield in fight 1

 

Good point!

I do not know honestly how they would rate though the 90s had some ****ing talent at HW.

 

Your post has more crap than a public toilet, son.

Worse, you appear to be a fairly stupid ****.

First, you create a post where you ask for the opinion of others on the forum, and when you get a response that's at odds with your own opinions, you go into spaaaazz mode, and wax emotional about being infuriated that someone would compare your boyhood heroes with the most dominant pair of boxers in several decades.



Your list:

(1) Lennox Lewis
(2) Riddick Bowe
(3) Evander Holyfield
(4) Mike Tyson
(5) George Foreman
(6) Ike Ibeabuchi
(7) Michael Moorer
(8.) Buster Douglas
(9) Oliver McCall
10) Larry Holmes
(11) Ray Mercer
(12) David Tua
(13) Tommy Morrison
(14) Frank Bruno

Neither Klitschko makes my top ten. One is just outside that mark and the other just makes the top 20.

But most (except for Lewis, Foreman and Tyson )on your list don't either.

Some of the names would have a possibility of beating a Klitschko, but most are frankly, laughable fantasies, borne of nostalgia.


Tua vs Vitali ?

Davey boy would be in for a long night of pain and suffering.

He might connect early with the young Wlad, but current Wlad would deal with him in much the same fashion Lennox did.

Tommy Morrison ?

You've got to be ****in' kidding, lad. While any boxer that size has a puncher's chance, not many would place money on Morrison over a either Klitschko. One would outbox him and the other would pound him.


Buster ? The ultimate underachiever, a one-trick pony.

He could upset Wlad, but chances are, he wouldn't.

Old Foreman ?

Prime Foreman ranks 3 alltime for me, tied with Lennox, but the Foreman of the 90's would be handled comfortably by either of the current Klitschkos.

Riddick Bowe ?

A puncher's chance, especially against Wlad, but would be likely to **** himself during the staredown with the older brother.

Evander ? Would fight the wrong fight against Vitali, and pay for it.

Could well beat Wlad, but he wouldn't be the favourite against current version.

Tyson ?

From the 80's could beat either K brother, but after Feb, 1990, neither one.

(You did say from the 90's, didn't you ? )

Some of the others don't merit even a response.

Michael Moorer ?

Loses to either brother (even if they were drunk) at any stage in his career.




The current era is undoubtedly weak, but you clearly mistake that as proof that the two top dogs are weak. Both would be competitive in any era.

The reason I can't rank them very high has more to do with the paucity of good competition available than any intrinsic weaknesses they demonstrate.


Ironically, they might be more highly regarded had they had fighters from the 90's available as competition.

Neither Lennox nor Larry were highly regarded in their own times, but it hasn't hurt them over the longer haul.

I suspect the K-brothers will be more highly thought of with the passage of time.

 

I'd rank both of them after Foreman

 

You're confused again, Bald.

Vitali was unbeaten in the 90's and a 22 year old Wlad ran out of gas against Purity, while schooling him. One loss.


I believe he means the current version of the Klitschkos transported back to the 90's, rather than the brothers as they were DURING the 90s.

(If not, then I could have beaten every currently ranked boxer in every weight class, at some point in their lives. :yep)
