    Klitschko not only has a better record but he's bigger and stronger than both. The only thing is Klitschko had a weak chin and panicked a lot. How does he fair against these 2 elite boxer punchers

    No, both Sonny and George would Hurt him badly.

    You needed a decent chin against those two and I'm not sure wlad s is up for it.

    Wlad beats them both easily. Both relied on having a size advantage and aside from that their technical skills were quite limited. Wlad keeps them both at range and once they taste his power they get hesitant and he picks them off until he get the late stoppage.

    I'd make Wlad the favorite against both but either could land the right shot and end it.

    Wlad loses both. Just because he reigned a long time doesn't detract from the fact he presided over a weak era - and collapsed under pressure. He is waaaay outside my top 10.

    Please explain how he beats Liston but not Foreman. He’d have the much tougher time against Liston imo
