    You should know better than to start another Wlad post. I wish they would re-open the Klitschko forum so that all the blind Klithuggers who have recently joined could go back there. Have you heard any of them say good things about David Haye?
    By the way 9 is a bit high for a chin like his.:lol:

    I know you are not one of them I have seen your other posts, but the last few weeks has seen an influx of Klithuggers/Hayehaters (apparently the two go hand in hand) and an endless number of threads about how great he is. At least yours is a realistic assessment of his skill.

    I think Wlad could very well beat Riddick Bowe. Bowe had a good jab, but couldn't throw a straight right to save his life. I think he'd be beaten handily, the way Golota hurt him but probably worse.

    I think Lewis would definitely beat Wlad...Lewis knows how to deal with long range guys pretty well.

    Holyfield-Wlad is a tossup but I tend to think a prime Holyfield could take him...Holyfield had a great outside game and was fast as hell in his prime.

    You left out Bowe in that list. But he would probably be somewhere around 6-9.

    I also think Wlad would lose to a 90's Tyson and maybe someone like Frank Bruno...

    No disrespect to Wlad, he's a classy guy and a good champion but he's not in the same league as the likes of Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson and Bowe.

    I'm surprised you have him in the top10 after in the other thread you said he would be a nobody. Very contradictory.

    Wlad would be in the mix though not the champ

    He'd be in the top 10 for sure but would lose a lot. Tyson of the 90s would take out Wlad within 3, Lewis would KO Wlad, Holyfield is too tough and mean and would beat him up, Bowe is also a step above Wlad but is the most beatable elite fighter for him.

    The 90s was the 2nd best ever era for HWs and even apart from these 4 you have guys like Mercer, old Foreman who could definently KO Wlad, Morrison could possibly KO him, Moorer is a good fighter and could catch him, peak Tua would most likely KO Wlad, Ike would brutalize Wladimir. Young Shannon Briggs would also stand a fair chance of stopping him like he almost dropped Lewis. Then guys like McCall who wouldn't be going anywhere and can punch could beat him and Rahman would have a punchers chance.
