    Rank these 2 groups of fighters on skill, technique, power, in fact all round ability. But please do not bring their ATG ranking into it.

    Group 1.

    Pulev
    Leapai
    Povotkin
    Wach
    Thompson
    Mormeck
    Haye
    Peter
    Chagaev
    Ibragimov
    Brock
    Brewster
    Byrd

    Group 2.

    Louis
    Liston
    Ali
    Frazier
    Foreman
    Holmes
    Tyson
    Holyfield
    Lewis

    I ask because there are posters on this board who claim that on the strength of beating the guys in group 1 Vlad Klitchko is just as likely to beat the guys in group 2.

    I find that absurd to say the least.

    i wouldn't be surprised if Vlad could beat Frasier, you should take out Joe Foxy :good

    Seriously, its a good thread and even better if you take out Joe.

    I put Joe in because he was an undisputed champion. I only left out Marciano because of his lack of weight and stumpy arms. That said Lufcrazy ranked Joe ninth, but in group one ranked Ibragimov ninth. I don't see a lot in the Russian to trouble prime Joe to be honest.

    But yeah you are probably right Klitchko could well be too much for Joe, just imagine if one of those left hooks did land flush though.:lol:

    I think Joe would be everything Wlad could handle, his head bob n weave defense would prove difficult for his jab to find. That and Joe would be banging on the body every time Wlad tried to hold him.
