    Yes, but they'd have a few more losses, and wouldn't be as dominant as they are now.

      They'd probably be up at the top somewhere and would be dangerous opponents for all but a couple of people, but they wouldnt be anywhere near as dominant and as already said theyd have a lot more losses on their record.

      I'm confident that at least a few of the 1990's era would beat one or both of them.

        vitali would be because hes the better boxer overall. wladimir has chin problems. and only has one way of fighting and that is with his jab and grab style. vitali can fight, box you name it. i would of loved to see big george fight vitali in the 90s even though he was old he still had enough left.

          Yes they would. Not sure if they would be the kings though.

            yeah i think prime vitali would definently be a player in the HW ranks and i think prime vlad has a good punchers chance against anyone in the sport.

            vitali vs tyson or vitali vs holyfield would have been hellacious!!!!!

              U guys must be kidding me, VK is a good fighter but he is a quitter.

              wlad would get koed by the top fighters with not much problem whatsoever, almost a tune up fight but vitali would be a little tougher but still would get beat.

                They clearly would be everyone goes on about how they are only dominating coz of the lack of quality, fact is vitali would have beaten lewis and wlad is one of the best technical boxers around u realise he boxes of the jab to protect his weak chin and is damn good at it. People underestimate wlad just coz he got KOd when his chin was untested and he lacked exp, he is very quick patient and can KO out of nowhere. They may not be kicking everyone's arse like they are now, but i would bet on both of them pickin up at least 1 world titel in the 90s.

                    Absolutely, I think both of them would've be legit contenders and champions in the '90s. Bowe, Lennox, Tyson and Holyfield weren't indestructible.

                    Overall I would say the brothers would've had their hardest fights against Bowe and Lennox, but would quite easily have polished off Tyson and Holyfield.
