    How would Wladimir Klitschko do against past heavyweights?

    okay, Wladimir Klitschko is clearly the best heavyweight today. He has a great jab, and right hand is a lethal weapon. With these great aspects, how would he do against heavyweights of the past such as, Ali, Louis, Marciano, and Dempsey? Personally, I think he would give heavyweights of the past a little trouble, and would put up a very good fight, but would still come up on the short end of the stick. Your thoughts?

      He'd be an impoossibly difficult matchup for any of the tall, stand-up punchers of the past. He's too fast and too technically sound for the likes of Liston and Holmes. But guys who come forward and can get around a jab would kill him (Frazier, Dempsey, Marciano).

      What the hell do I know anyway? This is silly guesswork.

        I think he would make it look easier then he does now.. these guys are Tiny in comparison... What would marciano be able to do to someone with Wlad's speed mobility AND power who out weighs him by 60lbs.. Out reaches Him by a foot.. and is 8 inches taller..?? Wlad would ****ing kill him...

                    he is not fast compared to a patterson holmes or ali, you have to remember that a lot of these past champs trained different to modern champs. liston was massive but he trained hard when he was in his prime, he would be 220lb + these days as would holmes. i think wlad is the sort of guy that wouldn't like to get in the ring with liston or foreman, not saying that he wouldn't but he would be real tense and wear him self out.
