      I can definitely agree with that. Wladimir and Vitali would have been forces in any era, I have no doubt.

          I'm just glad I've gotten to see two sets of brothers rise to the top of the sport. Watching the Marquez's and Klitschko's maintain an elite level through the years has been cool and unique to watch for me.

          Best of luck to both Bros.

              You think they would do great in the 60's or 70's, I think not a prime Ali and Foreman would have wiped the floor with those guys

                That is all.
                I would have the Klit's above them IMO

                I personlly don't think Rafael did enough

                      Lets be real, compared to the Marquez brothers they have beaten no one.

                      Rafael has beaten Izzy, Mabuza, Austin, Johnson
                      Manuel beat Diaz, Casamayor, Barrera, drew with Pac, Juarez, Gainer, Peden, Medina and probably some other guys I can't remember and Rafael had like 11 defenses of his title against good opposition.

                      In contrast the Klitshko's have beaten who of note? Peter, Rahman, Mercer, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Byrd. Byrd is the only real good fighter on that list oh and a loss to Lennox Lewis

                      It's not hating but on evaluation the Marquez brothers have beaten the better fighters and have been beaten by the better fighters overall. It's not really the Klitschko's fault though, they're just in a shallow division.
                      Wlad: Monte Barrett, Chris Byrd, Botha, Mercer, Jefferson, Mccline, Samuel Peter, Brock, Brewster, Ibramigov, Tony Thompson, Chagaev, Chambers

                      Not bad IMO

                      Holds 2 belts, maybe 3 if you consider The Ring isn;t it?

                      Vitali: Herbie Hide, Purrity, Kirk Johson, Sanders, Danny Williams, Peter, Gomez, Arreola, Kirk Johnson.

                      Weaker though.

                      Multiple world champ. I think 2 time maybe 3? Holds 1 belt.

                      Both untouchable right now, weak field or not.

                      JMM is a very good fighter indeed.
                      Rafael IMO needs more to shine for me anyway.
