    Vitali Klitschko in Maxs place,
    Wlad in Buddy's.

    What changes in the heavy weight division with the two K Brothers fighting in the 30 /40 s?


    Ps. Much respect to the fighting Ukrainian Fellas.

    They would return to the USSR to fight Hitler.

    Although I have the utmost respect for the Ukrainian boxers that have left safety and luxury to defend their homeland,it should perhaps be remembered that some Ukrainians opted to fight for the Nazis, especially after they were promised independence.The Lviv area supplied quite few concentration camp guards and a fighting group named The Galicien came from there and fought for Hitler .Absolutely no reflection on the Klits,Loma, or Usyk of course. On my Wife and Myselfs recent flights to and fro Seville collections were raised for the children put in harms way by this current outage I did not see one person refuse to contribute.

    Louis would have had his hands full with those two.

    They would've been too big, skilled and powerful even for the great Joe Louis who never faced a big man who could actually box with a jab.

    Certainly would. Can't see Joe even Knockin down Vit. Wlad of course, in his early days got hammered a couple of times. Facing Louis, its a test of faith for either man.

    I suspect that whether or not Louis beat them, he would almost certainly have outlasted them.

    With his 14 year run of form, it is impossible for him not to get through somewhere.

    Some of Hitler's most avid helpers in massacring Jews were Ukrainians...and in many cases outdid the Germans themselves in terms of horrific viciousness. Babi Yar was probably made possible via Ukrainian participation. For reasons such as this, I'm on Russia's side.

    They would likely rule the division for years, splitting wins and losses between Louis. Not may upsets in the 30's or 40's with the Klitshckos vs.

    Holding onto the history of mostly dead men is why there will never be peace.

    By your logic shouldn't you reject Russia for Stalin turning her into a murder playground?

    You are wrong.

    Yes there are some pretty horrible far right elements imbedded in the Ukrainian Army today.

    Zelinsky ordered them to disband, and they refused, so they are not under civilian control.

    All very worrying.

    However we have a situation, where one European power is invading another, and three million refugees have been displaced.

    That is not something that I can condone!

    His logic is too flawed to comprehend this. Siding with Russia today because of what Ukraine did in the 30s and ignoring Stalin should let you know that the Mark Twain quote everyone loves might apply soon.

    anyone in theory can upset. Galento would be beat on like a pinta. Short, fat, next to no defence and a very limited offence. He lose with style though.
