Would you rank the Klitschkos with these heavyweights of the 1990s?

lol

 

from what I gather BOWE was beaton braindead after his first encounter with a decent euro and LL was chased into retirment by the lesser of the 2 brothers ? nuff said and the end of the story .yep

 

not to mention that a lot of the 90s heavyweights did fight the Klitschkos and got destroyed by them. For example, Briggs, Rahman, Mercer, Botha etc..

 

Head to head, the brothers would pose problems for pretty much every fighter on that list. Outside of a prime Lennox blasting out Wlad, there isn't a clear beatdown, either way, on the list.

I think Vitali would have had some classic fights against the likes of Bowe and Foreman. He would have been entertaining while beating Moorer.

Wlad could use his size to safety first victories over almost anybody on the list. Bowe likely gets the best of him, though, and Foreman has the puncher's chance. Something tells me a matchup with a good version of McCall might be interesting.

 

Didn't Wlad fight Byrd too? Twice?

 

you are an idiot. you mentioned VK fighing Byrd but not mention WK fighiting byrd.

Also pay attention to what people write before you respond. Seriously man, he already addressed everything you talked about and you have to talk about it again for no reason. read what he wrote... then read what you wrote, then think about it for a day or two.

 

:huh vitaly ducked rahman...atsch do you honestly believe he would tarnish his reputation to duck rahman? he fought lennox on two weeks notice and he would duck rahman?atsch

 

What a deep talent pool! A 50 year old grill salesman is ranked number 5.
Number 4 is a deranged convicted ****** that was inactive for 4 years. Number 3 is a great CW pumped up on steroids, and number 2 threw his belt in the rubbish to avoid fighting number 1.
Where is Bruce Seldon on your list, he was a belt holder in the vaunted 90's.

 

I already mentioned in my post that the lack of good competition was a handicap to the resumes of both Klitschkos.

The same is true to a lesser degree for Mike Tyson. His legacy is often knocked on account of the fact that he has no great names on his resume.

But you can only fight the competition that's available.

Can you name one fighter that could have beaten the Klitschkos in the last few years but who was denied a chance ?

He lost to Lennox, but in a fashion that showed he was clearly competitive and belonged in there.

The other 'loss' was a withdrawl from a fight where he was far ahead and suffered an injury, NOT caused by his opponent.

Who has he avoided in the past six years ?

List all of the other HW greats who have maintained HW dominance over that length of period.


You can only fight the competition that's there.
