What All Time Greats do you think Wlad Klitschko would beat?

:yep All of them ! 3 or 4 on the same night ! Long live the STEELE HAMMAR !:bbb

 

so you know, i'm looking at this in a "if you could time warp the current wlad to that era" viewpoint. dempsey, jack johnson, joe louis, marciano..... basically any pre-liston ATG at heavy, all get destroyed by wlad on the same night.

those who think jack johnson's "amazing defence" will let him survive against wlad will be in for a rude awakening when one wlad right cross splits his guard, catches him leaning back and caves his face in.

 

Agree, with the early posts. Wlad would blow away most, if not all of the CW-small HW (todays standards) HW champs of the past. He'd beat or be very competitive to any HW champ since the 70s.

 

Frazier
Patterson
Marciano
Charles
Walcott
Braddock
Baer

 

BS! I wasn´t finished!

Schmeling
Tunney
Demsey

 

How many of the future Heavyweight champs, say 60 years from now, will Wlad beat in a time warp match? They'll be bigger stronger and faster. So just like all the pre-1970 guys Wlad will not stand a chance.

 

None They are ATG for a reason Will Waldo be considered an ATG when he is done **** no...

 

BS!!! I STILL haven´t finished!!!

Willard
(Please notice that I left out Johnson)
Burns
(Hart wasn´t an all timer)
Jeffries
Fitzsimmons
Corbett

 

I'm a big Wlad fan but I don't think he is an ATG (at least not yet).

I don't believe that he would beat any of the four you mentioned.

 

I've always said this. To me most pre Liston heavies would have stuggled with the bigger guys.

 

Wlad doesn't beat Frazier, sorry.

 

I don't think that he is an ATG, doesn't mean that he would not beat a lot of them. Just imagine 185 pound jack dempsey next to Wlad. wlad would brutally punish him, ditto for marciano and a whole bunch of the smaller, or less refined ATG's of the past.

 

Braddock is not an ATG. He is a journeyman that got one big win and lost the title in his next fight.

 

i'm a wlad fan too, and i agree that wlad is not an yet ATG. i just think that wlad beats those guys, based on what we've seen on film. we should'nt let greatness, reputations and accomplishments skewer our objectivity when judging the old timers in matchups against present fighters. i just call it how i see it. jack johnson leaning back from punches might have worked for him back in the day, but if he tries that against wlad he gets his head taken off. i have huge respect for jack dempsey, but wlad KO's him in 1 too.
