    Morrison and Wlad couldn't take his punch, he would crush them. Vitali would have a chance, as would Sanders for the first few rounds.

      You're saying that Marciano would KO Vitali?

          possibly not the greatest white heavyweight but i think Henry Cooper's name should be right up there, Ali had to cheat to beat him.

            I just said that Vitali would have a good stylistic chance at beating Marciano. It's a compliment to Vitali. Younger Klitschko gets knocked out badly though. Those body shots would wreck him and the first good right hand puts him on ***** street. Marciano fought low and was hard for a tall guy to hit with a jab. A 20 something Ali had trouble landing his jab on an ancient Marciano when they sparred, what success would an even taller, slower Wlad have against a prime Marciano? Height is not a great advantage when the other guy knows how to fight small.

              See, I would completely disagree...

              The guy fought like 100 years ago. During his time, he might have shined and dominated..

              But during the century, the human race evolved to much stronger athletes...
              The food is different, nutrition, exersices, traing camps all have evolved...

              I don't think a fighter from last century would stand a chance in today's top competition (problem is, there is no top competition today and Wlad seems like the only one there)

              But Lets say Dempsey Vs. Lewis

                spot on Take Henry Cooper and Lennex lewis, Henry cooper could make light heavy, and Lennex super heavy, The division is like no other, you never have to make the weight, up at heavy.

                  in all honesty i think vitali could beat all of them, he uses all his size, he jab is killer and has heavy shots and is one smart mofo and he puts it all together in the ring, very difficult to beat

                      Both Klits would smoke anyone on the list.. Even Marciano Like Mr 68 inch reach would have a hope in hell of even laniding..
                      Dempsey Might be able to Hurt Wlad.. again if he could land.. But I heard Dempsey used to have some sort of Knuckle duster in his gloves.. Or how is it.. he never busted anyone up like Willard ever again.. Willard injuries were horrific
