    No you laughed off Witherspoon chances and I reminded you Ross had stopped Wlad and Ross doesn't come close to hitting like Tim.

    Wlads left hook would find its mark, when it does its lights out. Wlad could ko him with the right too. To much power for Norton to go 12 with

    Tim was also just a plain better boxer imo.

    Norton did really well against boxers: Ali, Young, and Holmes are proof of that. So, I actually think he would have done not terribly against Wlad (Steward-era). He might have ended up stopped, but I think he would have perplexed Wlad enough to perhaps take it into the later rounds. I do see Wlad beating him, though.

    Wlad would be knocked out by Tim Witherspoon, Gerry Cooney, Earnie Shavers, and Bone Crusher Smith, Wlad would also probably lose to guys like Leroy Jones, and Renaldo Snipes.

    Nah. Wlad's gotten up from KD's to win. Against Sanders he was still trying to get up after the 4th KD. He beat Peter after getting KD and Peter hits like a truck. If I was Witherspoon et al I'd be worried about what Wlad could do to them instead. Unlike Holmes, Wlad has ATG power in both hands.

    Wladimir Klitschko couldn't even beat Puritty, Sanders and Brewster. Instead, he lost in devastating fashion.

    He can lose to anybody good who comes to win. His reign was a carefully constructed one over old, short or blown-up cruiserweights. Not a single 50-50 match-up in all of that time. Then he lost to Fury when he couldn't avoid him any more.

    Because he made them all look like bums. Who did he avoid besides Vitali? Fury won because Wlad was old and with mental distractions.
