Heavyweight ressurgunce - who stands up against time

Wilder's fights aren't really world title fights. Neither was Galzkov-Martin. Fury is the champ.

 

Chagaev in his prime is a definite yes! Joshua is no at this point, but give him time and I'd change to yes.

 

I don't know. I hate to sound like a nostalgic old fart, but I can't see any of these guys that are currently at the top beating the likes of a prime Lewis or Bowe of the 90's. Those guys were really skilled fighters and I think would wipe the floor with the current crop of HW's.

Still, some of these guys could be contenders of back than, I just don't know if they could be true champions (maybe alphabet titlists.)

 

Bwahahaha!! You IDIOTS
Klit was around in the 90s and was everyone's *****.
He couldn't even beat journeymen like Purrity and Sanders!! Hahaha!
Klit was a B level fighter in 90s
Morrison
Ruddock
Rahman (90s Rachman not the shot figher Klit faced)
Would have destroyed Klit

Sanders (Terrible journeyman)
Purrity (Terrible journeyman)

DESTROYED KLIT.

God forbid a 90s Tua or Ibeabuchi faced Klit, Ibeabuchi would have gone to jail for murdering Klit.
Keep dreaming.

These are the fighters that would have hung in the 90s and have been competitive
Fury: Maybe
Klitschko: NO and he had his chance and was knocked out by journeymen of the 90s
Joshua: Yes
Wilder: HELL YES
Haye: Would have been a journeymen
Martin: 100% YES
Povetkin: Hell NO, lost to Klit, BADLY, he would have been like a Maskaev
Pulev: No
Stiverne: No
Jennings: No
Chagaev: No
Parker: Yes
Ortiz: HELL YES
Rivas: HELL YES

 

Perhaps you missed out. Wlad hired Emanuel Steward who famously changed his style, exactly as he had previously done for Lewis, and Wlad went on to make 18 successful title defenses.

It was kind of a big deal at the time. Surprised you didn't know.

 

GREEN KLIT???
Klit lost to both Journeymen at the same point in his career as Wilder is now. Klit was at above 25 fights when he lost to those bums. Wilder is at that same point and WINNING.

 

Steward taught Klit to clinch and then the 2ks roll around and we have the WORST HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION IN HISTORY, SO BAD THAT A B LEVEL fighter like Klit can become champion.

But in the 90s, Klit was not good enough to even beat journeymen.

 

He was in his 2nd year as a pro when he lost to Purrity you dumbass.

 

He taught Wlad to figth tall, same as Lewis. The division wasn't as bas as the 80's, when the main gusy were fat drug addicts, lorded over by Larry Holmes, who openly ducked some of them.

 

he was at his 25th fight you moron

 

Only goes to show he was mismanaged early in his career and doesn't change the fact that he'd been pro for less then two years you utter imbecile.

 

This is one of the worst threads I've ever seen. Povetkin would get destroyed by Wilder
