    I don't think they would "dominate" their opponents if everything was equal

    And, can you say that Lennox fought in a tougher era and beat better fighters? I mean he did beat Vitaly right? And, I still never considered Lennox an elite P4P fighter.
    Lennox era wasn't any better. An old Evander, yes even back then he was already old, an old Tyson, and a bunch of guys just like the Klitschko's fought.

    And speaking of Tyson, what great heavyweights did he ever beat? If you look at his resume its a bunch of hacks and no names and when his level of comp went up he got his ass kicked.

    The Klitschko's era is pretty comparable to any era, there's some good guys, some decent guys and some **** guys, the reason they get no credit is cuz' they're white guys from Europe.

    If these two mother****ers where 2 giant black brothers from Brooklyn, everyone would proclaim them the GOATS and they'd be on HBO fighting tuneups on PPV.

    And for the record, Lewis didn't beat Vitali. The Dr. beat Vitali and spared Lewis a k.o loss. Lewis promptly retired like a coward after that rather than give Vitali a rematch.

        If everything was equal and just skill for skill style for style who wins? That is the meaning. In the true meaning I don't see them in the top 10.

        So in the true spirit does this mean they have less power, less timing, less everything.

        I think they are pretty fantastic the way god built them.

        Wlad has a ton of skill, some speed, timing, power in both hands, and keeps just the right distance.

        Vitali hits you from all kinds of angles, hurts people with glancing blows and is a pro at keeping his distance and punishing people.

        You want to make them shorter, with shorter reach. I imagine they'd fight different and employ different methods to get the job done.

        Don't hate tall people j-rose. We truly can't help it.

        You try to buy pants at a regular store with all these short ****ers running around with the variety and selection all for short people.

            Another complaint.

            You get a nice shirt or hoodie or jacket at the store.

            You think it fits cool, then the sleeves come slightly past your elbow.

            Way too short.

            The world as well as the p4p list, is made for shorties.

              Honestly man. Think about it. If the Klitschko's were named Johnson and fought the exact same way and had the exact same careers, but wore ice in their grills, were from Brooklyn and talked a lot of ****, they'd be the biggest thing in the world of U.S sports.

              You know its true.

                I wish we had someone like that.

                Only not from Brooklyn. Brooklyn is bluff and bluster these days. I mean even Amir Khan has whopped Brooklyn's ass twice now.

                  You must have been a baby prodigy to be a "fan since 1980"-30 years, when you were just a baby 2 years old.

                    The tiny fella can't help it. He's envious of all us folks who aren't built like a 12 yr old girl. Let him get that hate out his heart.

                      LOL. He couldn't go to Hearns-Hagler at the age of 7 because it was on a Monday which was a school night.

                      But no need to get technical, I am sure he means he's been a fan since he can remember which was probably in the 80's.
