    Ok so everyone uses the same style, put pressure on them and go for the KO, but that style obviously doesnt work. So would it be a better idea to stay on the outside and try to outbox them? The Klitschko's hardly ever lose a single round, would this even be possible?

    Well when guys like fat Peter, and Arreola are the chalengers they have no chance either way, to outbox someone you need skill, on top of being unskilled most of todays HWs are also fat & out of shape. Maybe Haye, or Chambers can do something as they are both fast and as of late actually are in shape.

    Ali wouldn't have done any better - what is he going to do? Use his speed to try land the jab? Really? From the outside?

    These guys are close to unbeatable by anyone who isn't in the ballpark of their size, like Lennox Lewis was.

    Size isn't enough, either - Lennox was deceptively fast, had great power and co-ordination and was a skilled student of the game.

    So in closing
    Size + Skill = Key.

    Wlad didn't loke unbeatable against Brewster or an out of shape golfer did he? How about vitali losing to a shot Lewis? Noone has ever been unbeatable & the Klits are about as far from it as everyone else. BTW Vitali isn't skilled or fast enough to beat Ali. Wlad would would have a better shot but he loses to IMO.

    Valuev is the greatest Heavyweight of all time, and would have cleared up in the 70's due to his 7'1 stature.

    Looked as unbeatable as the out of prime Ali looked when losing fights to bums in the late 70s.

    Judge them on their prime.

    If Wlad fought the best version of Corrie Sanders right now. Would he win? I'm not so sure.

    Sanders was 1 of the avoided heavys in the days! Too much risk for little reward. He could pull an upset @ anytime b4 he became a total fat ass.

    Of course he would. His conditioning has improved ten fold since joining up with Kronk, he's also more composed in the ring, much better defensively and would never make the same mistakes that lead to him losing either the Sanders or the Brewster fights.

    Wlad is not the natural fighter his brother is, I think Wlad was very nervous and intimidated in his youth despite the size he had, I think he was quite an unconfident fighter.

    Training at Kronk under Manny, getting his body right for going the distance in fights and getting the mentality of how to win right has been evident.

    The Brewster fight was 6 years ago, let it go.
