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

Agree he would beat anyone.

 

he would beat:
Joe Louis
Sonny Liston
Rocky Marciano
Ken Norton
Larry Holmes
Michael Spinks
Floyd Patterson
Riddick Bowe <questionable all time great, but still impressive in his prime.

***these are the greats im certain he would beat, other guys like Lewis, Holyfield and Tyson are 40-60 splits, 40 being Wlads chance of winning.

***Im certain that Foreman would beat Wlad, Ali however would have some difficulty, but id favor him via 65-35 split.

 

Vladimir Klitschko would beat them all, no doubt about it. Why do you think there is so much bias against him? He is that good. Anyone who knows any thing about boxing should know such, but they are in denial.

 

I'd pick over Wlad at their best off the top of my head, not necessarily all greats. Reasons differ, some are strong guys who get to Wlad becuse of their size, power and inside punches (Bowe take a lot of punshment but would finish Wlad inside, Lewis would utilise his uppercut).

Some take Wlad into deep water with their toughness, or elusiveness and end the fight their with solid power and boxing ability, Ali would cut open that nasty scar tissue Wlad has round his face with his jab. Some are just extremely fast punchers, with toughness or elusiveness, who'd be able to swarm effectively and early.

Tyson
Bowe
Lewis
Dempsey
Ibeabuchi
Ali
Liston
Mercer
Holmes

Closer fights, perhaps they are lesser fighters who match up well style wise with Wlad or are greater fighters who match up poorly;

Herbie Hide; bad chin, but great, speedy puncher, if he lands hard, fast and first he's a great chance.

Holyfield
Moorer; Questionable chin, but a southpaw with excellent skill, and a fantastic punch, dangerous and hard to put away when motivated.

Foreman; Crude, but a great puncher who knows how to cut off the ring.

Louis; Huge puncher and skilled, just feel Wlad is capable of putting him way at the same time, as well as having the size and jab to trouble him,

Frazier; Needs a few rounds to get the motor running, he's lucky Wlads' a slow starter, that makes the fight more interesting since he can get himself into gear.

Wlad beats the following more often than not imo;


Spinks
Marciano
Charles
Patterson
Braddock
Tua; Always a punchers chance, but Wlad can play it safe.
Willard
Briggs; ...well he was lineal.

 

good point

 

Jeffries

 

WALD has height, haircut and tough brother advantages too, so he'd KO this fool in 1 round :nut

 

Take away the size advantage and just go on skill and heart, chin. Vlad not even a top 100 HW.

 

a wash up jones and a wash up tyson.

 

Surely if the weak-chinned, fast-handed but relatively small Herbie Hide stands a 50-50 chance against Wlad, then Patterson (who fits the Tyson mould fairly well, and was faster if anything) would as well?

 

Yes he would've. :good
