    I know its descending into farce! These guys are obviously watching a different fighter than the rest of us. They've elevated Klitschko into some unbeatable monster and are running down the achievements of a fighter who proved his mettle time and again against fellow ATG fighters.

    The only great who is a bit of an enigma in shw matchups is Rocky.

    Just not enough empirical evidence to say how he'd do against against a man with a 50 pound weight advantage.

    Except Wlad would never struggle with the kinds of oppnents Marciano had,and Foreman is about the only one Ali ever fought capabale of remotely causing an upset win,simply because he hit hard...Klitckos opponets would over shadow the like of Ali's...no one in alis era were their size that most would dwarf 220 foreman..Wlad is a proven super Hw champ ..the other two are not and struggling with sub par 200 pounders certainlty doesn't make their case stronger!

    they were good, often top, contenders, unlike the retired shot2shyte sanders that wlad briefly "struggled with"

    wlad wouldn't struggle for long, that's for sure, lol. lights out wladie

    Except Sanders at 6'4 230 would crush that era,ali couldn't even beat a 190 pound southpaw with no skill easily...you seem to have a selective memory.Imagine a 240 pound fighter getting dropped by a 180 pounder,imagine a supposed greatest fighter ever doing the same?:yep

    Again, Sanders didn't KO anyone of note before or after Wlad.

    no.

    an inch or 2 doent mean u crush an era.

    and being fat doesnt mean you crush as era (unless u sit on em)


    your boxing ability does mean it though.

    Sanders was 6'4?

    That means he was only an inch taller than Ali.

    anyone of note wouldn't matter his last good performance was against vitali..after that fight he didn't have much left..k.oing guys who weighed 200/210 pounds would be fairly easy for Sanders.An inch taller and much bigger who could hit along with sopeed with being southpaw could be disaasterous for him,again video evidence doesn't lie I have the Mildenberger fight to go on he was a ant compared to Sanders.

    Watch Clay / Liston. Sonny had a bigger wingspan than VK, and much longer arms. He was also known for his fantastic jab. He was arguably faster than VK and definitely had superior footwork.

    He damaged his shoulder by throwing jabs at Clay for 6 rounds, and constantly MISSING.

    You also have a nice day man.:good

    Liston the big bear was the little Bear next to Vitali..6'0 210 pounds next to 6'7 250...do the math...he would be a cub in comparison.


    P.S liston was around 40 and ten years over his best days,with an injured shoulder before the fight,it was a recurring injury!:-(
