    not as flop as your comeback mate.

    get back to the boxing instead of making it a personal attack, thanks.

    Klitschko was slow and predictable against AJ and Fury. By that time he had lost his reflexes and was throwing telegraphed left hooks that could be seen from a mile away. I can't believe how easily AJ dodged that left hook. Back in the day it flew in like a rocket compared to old Wlad. Eddie Chambers knows what I'm talking about.

    That's what made me realise that Wlad was really getting on in years. That was a money punch he'd land over and over on all manner of other guys before. But worse, once he saw AJ had the reflexes to slip it - and AJ's reflexes are damn good for such a big guy, lets give him some credit too - Wlad persisted in following the same plan of attack, which is what led Joshua to timing him doing it.

    Prime Wlad massacres this division

    Prime Wlad vs prime Fury

    Fury's feints cause a few issues in the early rounds, but Manny would know to beat Fury they need pressure, so he would have Wlad be a bit more agressive with the jab and tell him to risk a few crosses and hooks. Fury also (before his hiatus, he hasn't done it since) fought in the inside when it wasn't smart, Wlad would grapple him around and hurt Fury, Wlad would still drop rounds to Fury because his style and size but Wlad of 2007ish would be more agressive and that's what he'd need to beat Fury

    Wlad vs Wilder
    Wilder misses, gets countered and gets KOed

    Wlad vs Joshua
    Joshua gets outboxed just like he did in the actual fight, when ever they weren't brawling, Wlad's jab causes Joshua serious issues and his strength inside would have Joshua's stamina depleted, plus a 30 year old Wlad's left hook would whip into Joshua and take him out, they would be no dodging them

    Wlad vs Ruiz

    Ruiz would cause some issues but would ultimately get jabbed and grabbed and dominated at range

    Wlad in his 41 was close to knocking out AJ. Wlad in his prime would be on top of the current era. If now Vlad was 32-35 years old, any other boxers, except perhaps Fury, would be considered "garbage", and we would grumble that Klitschko doesn't have worthy rivals.

    With ease, especially if both are in there together. I think part of their success was that if one of them got tripped up, the other would get the job jobbed.

    Yep, Chambers got KOed with a lightning fast left hook in 12th.
    Against Fury it was slow in the 1st round.
