Only a few in history would be able to beat the current version of Wladimir Klitschko

People vastly overrate "super" heavyweights' sizes and underrate skill and ring IQ. Regardless, he's obviously a very tough ask, H2H and I also wish him luck at the weigh-in. If he accidentally hits his chin against Wach's, he's going to be out cold and unable to fight the day after.

 

His big brother in his prime would beat him. Plus a few others.

 

Klitschko would beat Sanders in a boxing match ten times out of ten. If Sanders start the first rounds all guns blazing and turn it into a fight, then Sanders wins most of the times. Klitschko is a well built machine, but not for that kind of fight. Nobody since Sanders, in my opinion, really came into the ring with the clear goal of ripping Wlad's head off... and that's how you must fight him.

It's like if all of Liston's opponents tried to pressure him and get the KO... he would've held the belt much longer.

 

I agree.

He got his **** pushed in by sanders but he's stylistically unique in the big picture.

There's not many I'd favour over him.

 

Emmanuel Steward himself said that this evolved version of Wlad would have been so competitive against Lennox that he really wouldn't know who could be the favourite; Tyson? Let's get real..... Technially, stilistically, Tyson have been the greater, the best, the most entertaining; but he badly lost to Lennox, that was 1 year older than him, and the lost against the badly underdog J.D.; plus he struggled against a lot of more fighters, included Holyfield, twice; between the fighters of the past, only Foreman could have had some concrete chances; and only a well trained one, not the zombie in some of his fights.

 

A former Polak nightclub bouncer giving hell to an accomplished future HOF and potential top 15 ATG HW in his physical and mental prime. Riiiiiiight

 

Please don't say Golota would beat Wlad. It's embarrassing.

 

Well, to be fair, H2H(something Im not a fan of, its like comparing the 1950s Chicago bears to their modern day equivalents), Wlad beats nearly everyone on average, with the possible exception of Lewis.

But like I said,I dont like comparing athletes from different eras.

Physical specimens like Wlad,simply didnt exist in Alis time or before.

 

If he only had a chin.

 

Golota is too much of a choking headcase.

If he doesn't get stopped early like he often did against heavy punchers, and has some success, he would find a way to screw it up.

 

Tyson had a shot, but id favour current prime over him 8 times out of 10.

Bowe,if he could get his head right on the night had a shot too, probably better than Tyson even.

Lewis is the only guy that if back more than 5 times out of 10 against Wlad.

You could throw in his brother perhaps, if they ever theoretically fought

 

actually Frazier style is a nightmare for Wlad and Wlad is chinny, and Frazier could punch so not unreasonable, Wlad is not ****ing Foreman for god's sake.
