      Bonavena beats both Klitschkos - Ringo`s style of rolling in and two-fisted brawling would be the style they could not handle, Bonavena was a tremendous pressure fighter who upped the pressure by the round, i see him eating the jab for 7 rounds then coming on strong to KO both brothers in the 10-12rds

      Cleveland Williams - Big Cat would be just too much of everything for them both, his physical condition and devastating punching power along with his size would give him a great shout at KOing both brothers.

          Not many. I'd give Foreman and Ali a chance. This is everyone in their prime. 5-6 others would have a shot as well. Tyson Fury of course reigns supreme as the greatest HW of all time, and the only man to beat prime Wlad. Nash out.

            Are you stating a 39 year old Wlad was prime, but a 28 year old was not?

              Yes. HW's often develop later. Wlad hit prime from around 30, and even when he faced Joshua, beltless, and 18 months inactive at 41, he was near prime and better than he was from 25-28. Nash out, dropping wisdom.

                The only one I'm quite confident would beat both Klitschko's would be Lennox Lewis. He had the size, skills and heart. Was more technical than both yet could brawl better than both.

                If you're talking really old school then not many. Sonny Liston's reach and punch selection had a good shot. Foreman's physicality too. Ali and Holmes in their primes with their slickness and movement.

                Unpopular opinion but I believe Golota(pre-car accident) boxes their ears off untill he falls apart mentally in the late rounds.

                  - -So confident that he ducked Wlad and gave up his last belt(WBC) and his biggest purse and the rest of his career to duck the Vitali rematch after his mommy pulled his plug.

                  Thanks for the reminder...
