Would the Klitchko's still "RUN" the HW division if they fought from 1983-93?

    Did I just read someone saying Ruddock?

    Get the **** outta here :rofl Razor went life & death with Morrison, who Wlad or Vitali would pummel.

    Roid Morrison had wicked strength albeit being a bit hittable, so if he lands first, he could have made it interesting. He wouldn't have been a walk in the park.

    I think they would dominate the 80s -Holmes was declining in 1983- and then have trouble in the early 90s.

    Wladimir vs. Morrison would've been a repeat of Lewis vs. Morrison.

    No because of the Mike Tyson. Fighters like Tyson are the worst type of fighters to Klitschkos. If you arent Lennox Lewis, then you may hurt Klitschkos only from inside. This is something for what Tyson was created - shorten the distance and punch.

    More than half? no way. Holyfeld, Tyson and Bowe I can understand. Mercer I have to see more of. But some of these guys like Holmes, spinks and cooney were well past their best by the mid 80s and dont pose much threat. Douglas had 1 good fight in him his entire career, outside of that he isnt much to worry about.

    let's go back from now, who could give the klitschkos (wlad right now in his prime, and vitali from the sanders fight) a real fight:
    sanders, Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, Tyson, Bruno
    wlad: 80% 40% 65% 80% 25% 65%
    vitali: 100% 45% 40% 90% 60% 80%

    Thats all from 1983 till now!!!!! and the chance the the klits would lose or win some fights is big. so don't come with some b level fighters from the 80s who would be blown away.

    holmes, ali, frazier, foreman not included.

    there are only 2 or 3 great HW in any given era the rest are gatekeepers just like the klits and the fighters i mentioned in this era! were holmes and tyson era really that superior? ruddock would beat wlad! are we talking the wlad of today? please.

    If Gerry 'Loony' Cooney could go 13 with Holmes so could either Klitschko.

    The thing about Larry is he could adapt in the ring like no other, he had good movement, stamina, a good Chin and decent pop when he wanted to. Had great ring smarts too.

    I think a Vitali Klitschko vs Holmes fight would be very fun to watch and interesting.

    Holmes is a very tough match up for any heavyweight in History. He was so multi-dimensional with his skills and ability.

    riddick bowe can beat both of them.
    evander can beat wald but would go through hell to beat vitali.
    michael moore i think they can beat
    ray mercer beats wald but i dont think he can beat vitali.
    buster douglas would lose to both.
    tommy would lose to both.
    mike tyson kos both of them.
    spinks can out point both of them.
    larry holmes can beat both of them.

    Michael Dokes
    Tim Witherspoon
    Pinklon Thomas
    Greg Page
    Tony Tubbs

    all those guys lose to both of them and the rest on that list for that matter.
    some would have a punchers chance, but the klit bros can get in there with anyone and make a good fight.

    Michael Spinks? I can't think of one scenario where Michael Spinks could beat either Klitschko, he was a great LHW but should've never moved up, he would have no business in the ring with Wlad or Vitali, just like he didn't have any business being in the same ring with Tyson.

    Any reason why you consider Holyfield a very tough opponent for Vitali? I think it's quite the opposite.
