    if you're talking about a prime Wlad in the 90's, he beats old Foreman, he'd beat Tyson (post prison Tyson wouldn't be able to cope with Wlad's safety first approach and his sheer size advantage), he beats Briggs, Golota, Holyfield, Tua, prime Wlad vs prime Lewis is a toss-up, but I'd probably favor Lewis to win

    Wlad would at least have one belt. A head to head toss up with Lewis.

    Assuming Wlad fought through the 90s he'd have to face much tougher journeymen & gatekeepers, so he'd probably pick up a few losses before he got to the contenders.

    In the early 90s he'd have no chance against pre-prison Tyson, prime Holyfield, Ruddock, pre-Steward Lewis & Bowe. The best he could hope for is the (then) lightly regarded WBO belt by beating Damiani or Morrison.

    By the mid 90s Wlad chances of picking up a title improve; Moorer, McCall & Foreman he'd probably beat. Post-prison Tyson, Golata & Mercer would be very dangerous & Lewis, Holy & Bowe would beat him.

    In the late 90s guys like Tua, Ibeabuchi, Byrd, Rahman & Briggs were coming through.

    Wlad would be top 10, probably pick up a title or 2 but he wouldnt be dominant & would finish the decade with 7-8 losses.

    Pre- Stewart Wlad gets KTFO by Lewis, Tyson and even old Foreman.

    Prime Wlad beats Tyson in a boring UD, still gets KTFO vs Lewis, has 50-50 chance vs old George.

    Whoever thinks different is a brain washed delusional Klittard!

    Wlad aint having a win over Tyson post Tyson too, 1995.1996.1997 he is getting knocked out, by 1999 he fought Botha and looked ****.



    Wlad would have been 5th or 6 best fighter of the 1990s

    The Klits would hold their own in ANY era. Don't let the way they handle the opposition fool you or even the quality of the opposition.

    Prime Wald in a timemachine in the 90s would tied with Lewis for #1 spot. Ok to be fair let's say #2 after Lewis. He'd demolish the rest: Golotha, faded Bowe, Holyfield, Tua, Briggs, Rahman etc.

    Wlad beats all easily but is a 40/60 against Lennox.

    Wladimir would have had great fights with Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson and Bowe.

    He would walk through the rest of the division like he does today.
