    Yes but my point is Tyson dedicated his career to get pass jabs and land, he fought small thats why i think he is the worst possible opponent for Wlad, Tyson had tremendous head movement and great attack after opponents misses jab while Haye doesnt know how to do that...

    They all pretty much have a shot at beating Wlad. The Steward trained Wlad would not have an easy fight with anyone of those fighters. I believe Mercer is not been given a chance here. His relentless pressure and hammer jab could get him a decision. I really thought he beat Lewis or at least a draw. A Wlad without Steward loses to all of them. Both fighters who starched Wlad would lose to all these fighters.

    Tim Witherspoon: Tim had a big overhand right, so he'd be dangerous early. 70/30 Wladimir.

    Mike Tyson: Same as Witherspoon, only more so. 50/50.

    Evander Holyfield: Another Bowe/Lewis fight for Holyfield. 70/30 Wlad.

    Lennox Lewis: Whoever gets the big one in first wins. 50/50.

    Ray Mercer: Wladimir already done that.

    Tony Tucker: IMO, Wladimir TKO 9.

    Riddick Bowe: Bowe goes down and Rock Newman Hits Wladimir in the back of the head with his call phone.

    George Foreman: Wladimir TKO's Foreman late..

    Holmes wins on pts in a great fight
    Witherspoon gives him nightmares
    Tyson destroys him
    Holyfield terrorises him
    Lewis knocks him out
    Mercer tires him out then sparks him
    Tucker loses
    Bowe ****s him up in the worst possible match-up for Wlad
    Foreman struggles & probably loses on points

    I agree with that but it did only last for about 3 rounds though, so he would have to get it done within that time.
    Good chance he would do it though, but i think after that he will get frustrated and broken down.

    Come on, Mercer was shot to **** by the time he fought Wlad. Put in the Mercer that gave Lewis hell.

    Larry schools Wlad like all the others.
    Michael Spinks also wins a decision against Wlad.
    Tim Witherspoon based on his performance against Larry would also beat Wlad by decision.
    Mike Tyson would do the same to Wlad that he did to Lou Savarese or in the sake of Wlad, the same he did to Tyrrel Biggs.
    Evander Holyfield would also stop Wlad inside the distance.
    Lennox Lewis would stop Wlad inside six.
    Ray Mercer would lose a UD to Wlad.
    Tony Tucker would lose a close decision to Wlad but possibly would hurt him in the process.
    Riddick Bowe would stop Wlad the same way he stopped Jorge Luis Gonzales.
    George Foreman would lose a decision to Wlad the way he lost to Shannon Briggs.
    I also believe Wlad would beat Tommy Morrison, Alexander Zolkin, Henry Akiwande, prime Mike Weaver, prime Mike Dokes, prime Pinklon Thomas, prime Trevor Berbick, prime Greg Page, prime Tony Tubbs, most possibly would beat Michael Moorer but would lose to a prime James Bonecrusher Smith, to Donovan Razor Ruddock, to prime Andrew Golota ( of the first Bowe fight), maybe to Carl Williams too...
    In resume, Wladimir Klitschko dominates in a era which is far below in terms of competition to the one mentioned above.

    While Holmes could certainly outbox Wlad, I've a feeling Holmes would land a sneaky right on Wlad's chin and stop him

    A prime, clean, motivated Witherspoon gives Wlad hell and probably stops him late. If that rare animal doesn't show up, Wlad controls distance for a wide UD
    or mid to late stoppage.

    Prime Tyson mows through Wlad worse than Sanders. Horrible style match-up for Klitschko.

    Wlad matches up well against Holyfield and has a good chance of outpointing Vander or stopping him late.

    Lewis stops Wlad - when depends on how timid Klitschko is.

    Wlad outpoints Mercer.

    Tucker is over-rated, and Wlad should have too much for him, although a Buster Douglas style falling apart isn't out of the question.

    Prime Bowe massacres Wlad on the inside and stops him.

    Wlad comfortably outpoints 90s Foreman.


    Personally I consider the current crop of heavies to be very weak, but even if you don't you have to view most of the guys above as very awkward for Wlad. Klitschko has a weaker chin than any of the fighters mentioned, and most of them carried genuine power as well.

    I would say if it goes past 5th its Wlads fight for taking, but it would be 5 long rounds for Wlad.
