    Success ?? Yes.

    Dominate ?? Nah.

    Fury outboxes both and Wlad's china gets shattered by Wilder, of the two Vitali does better but not much.

    Hahahaha, notice you use 2004 as the starting date so as to avoid having to address Vitali quitting against a fat Middleweight and getting stopped by an old, out of shape, disinterested, overconfident Lennox Lewis.

    If the Klitschko’s are as bad as some of you are making them out to be, why do you hold them in such higher regard compared to Ali, Tyson Holmes, Louis etc when they were fighting at the end of their career?

    That's funny how Lewis was old and out of shape at 37, yet Wladimir was peak at 40-41.

    Consider that
    Vitali hasnt fought for nearly 7 years yet has at least 4 wins over the current Boxrec top 50
    and
    Wladimir hasnt fought for over 2 years and has also at least 4 wins over the Boxrec current top 50 with 2 being in the top 10

    I think they would do well even if they didnt win every bout

    The Klitschko brothers would have all the titles. So yeah, they would be successful.

    He'd Ko'd him in sparring. Wlad or Vitali would kick the crap out of this very mediocre era.
