    Ali would dance circles round these two.....

    Tyson had an uncanny ability to get inside taller fighters and unleash hell

    Yes, he does. He's about the same size as Haye. Who also looked like a midget when in with Wlad.

    Anyone comparing either Klitschko unfavourably with greats from previous eras don't understand that the game has changed. Its like comparing a modern F1 car with a 50s one. Both great cars, but one of them is getting its ass kicked in a head to head race.

    There was no need for that farce at the weekend. The alternatives haven't always been great but fighting the likes of Mormeck and Lepai really really hurts Wlads international image.

    Then there is the tag team bull**** that has just come to an end where a win for one bro against his style of choice apparently equals an automatic win for both of them.

    I know most of you will disagree but both Klitschko's are not only good boxers (with Vitali being a real fighter as well) but have also a considerable height and reach advantage over some of the best fighters mentioned above. They both have excellent jabs and if it would be so easy to avoid getting hit by them, someone should have managed to win in the last couple of years. The competition is mediocre but with regard to the "top dogs" mentioned above - I can't see anyone who could win in a dominant way against the Klitschkos...
