I know a Fighter Who Would Have Beaten the Klitschkos'.....

i saw an interview with tim witherspoon about 6 months ago and he was very confident he would have beaten the klitschkos

It would have been interesting to see how the Mercer who fought Holyfield and Lewis would have done. Wlad fought him 6-7 years too late.

Nah, all he needed was a chin. The height and reach doesn't matter when you're as fast as that with that sort of movement. The power was there, so no need for a bigger frame.

Remember the Bowe fight? He did well early on there, so the inches didn't matter. His chin was the only downfall.

Surprising as it may seem now, Hide was actually the favourite going into the Klitschko fight. Frank Warren said afterwards that Hide didn't prepare right and only had himself to blame. lol.

Not sure if he could move like that for 12 rounds against a much bigger man in Vitali.

I remember he ran out of gas against Bowe as well and was knocked out by punches that didn't seemingly land.

He got a bit nervous if I remember? I'll check it out again.
