He is not. He is 6'3.5'' and 210+ lbs. His KOratio is so high because of the extreme high amount of KOs against c-class fighters and cruisers like Dullaire (185lbs, 8-8) or Russell (188lbs, 12-18).
Wladimer had problems with Sam Peter so i think a prime Mike Tyson who is much quicker than Peter probably puts Wlad to sleep and lets keep in mind he's been knocked out already.
Sam Peter and Mike Tyson could not be further apart in boxing style and body type.
The Klitschkos would have been journeymen in any decent heavyweight era.
They would not last more than 2 rounds with Tyson, Foreman, Dempsey Louis or Liston.
They would not last more than 4 rounds with Ali, Frazier, Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe
They would not last more than 5 rounds with Marciano, Shavers, Holmes, Morrer, Spinks, 45 year old foreman.
i dont get why people say this, look back at those eras, a lot of these guys had problems with DECENT opposition at best,
Lewis with Rahman and McCall,
Tyson with Douglas,
Foreman with Morrison (Morrison outboxed him, imagine what Wlad would do. this is a good comparison, cus Wlads defense is a lot better and their chins are about equal)
Marciano is just to small and would be drastically outboxed. same goes for Dempsey.
my point is, how could they CRUSH the Klitschkos when they sometimes struggled with journeymen?

klistscho lost to purity,brewster an sanders,and had a tough time with sam peter with steward.all those guys are decent at best
vitali has only fought 2 good fighter in arreola,and lennox lewis and he was 38
douglas that beat tyson would ko wlad,foreman was supposed to lose to tommy
mccall who beat lewis would be a tougher fight than anybody the klits have fought so far
I think Lewis would have the greatest chance! It looked like it could happen if their fight had carried on. So in his prime (3 years before they fought) an in shape Lewis and not the 19 stone one that turned up to fight vitali, Lewis would Ko him. Lewis just had the best chance tecnically and on top of that he loved fighting guys bigger than himself. when Fighting bigger guys he got much better leverage somehow!
americans are pathetic... you guys bring up the past, and past fighters to try and discredit the klitschkos...... yet you cant face the fact that there beating all the american heavyweights....
the thing is the klitschkos would be competitive in any hw era.... might not be champions, but would be contenders, no doubt
