wladimir klitschko wouldve been a title threat in any era

Sanders had an excellent chance against Lennox Lewis especially if he was taken lightly like you would have taken him. CS had fast hands, punched wickedly hard and was a southpaw...Lennox was smart to avoid him

 

Wladt fought better than Holmes

Holmes got ****d by Tyson

In due course wlad will be rated way above Holmes

 

While he's not invincible compared to certain HWs from past eras, I agree that Wladimir Klitschko would certainly have been a title threat in ANY era. Based on styles, skills, and certain attributes combined, Wladimir would have had some match-ups looking variable in terms of overall favorability. Some match-ups look better for him than others.

The attributes needed to beat today's Wladimir are not really found in a single fighter in the current division's ranks. Too many guys today are either:

a. big, but slow/poorly conditioned
b. quick, but too small
c. powerful, but lacking overall boxing skills.

On top of that, most of the HWs who still had 0 losses on his resume were arguably too green. This is not to say Wlad is a fraud, because he isn't. Fight fans know he's the best man in the division and they've wanted to see him fight in the most emphatic way that demonstrates it. What he did with Pulev is what he should be doing the majority of the time -- hurting guys early and knocking his over-matched competition out prior to the halfway mark. We saw him do this with Leapai, despite Leapai having no business sharing a ring with him. So it's seems as though Wladimir realizes what everyone else does and he's doing something about it.

One (major) thing people greatly overlook is how Wladimir's run since the Brewster loss needs to be gauged with his brother's dominance in mind as well. Vitali Klitchsko was active and running through what was left of the HW landscape for a significant portion of Wladimir's run. They basically tag teamed the division from October 2008 right up until Vitali's last fight in September 2012.

Vitali Klitschko was the best heavyweight not named Wladimir out there knocking off HWs, yet the two best HWs could never, ever fight. No other fighter who ruled the HW division -or was undisputed- ever had an advantage like that.

 

Please we don't want your stupid comments

 

And I'm sure you have kids to spew lies as well
You are the troll

 

That was an old Holmes Tyson beat up or did you miss that ?

 

Yes he would have. With his control of range, power, hand speed and skills, he has the ability to outbox and knockout anyone in history if he's at his best.

 

Well you did pick Pulev to beat him. And you think Arreola is one of Wlads toughest stylistic matches
