The Klitschko's are good fighters but not great. The fact is that the level of Heavyweight opponents in this era aren't near as competitive as in previous years.
These are some fighters that I believe would have given the Klitschko's problems.
1. Muhammad Ali - hands down and anyone who argues is either under 30 years of age or just doesn't know boxing.
2. Young Larry Holmes - one of the best jab/right crosses in history
3. Young George Foreman - his intense style would be intimidating...an easy early KO for both.
4. Prime Sonny Liston (?) - not a lot of movement and small, but very powerful. I see him taking Vitali because he is less versatile but Wlad probably could pull this out...maybe.
5. Prime Ken Norton - not that great of a chin...but would make a helluva fight...KO or get KO'd...Definitely either brother couldn't go the distance with this guy unless they just ran the whole time.
6. Prime Michael Dokes - not a good resume but a former Champ none the less with a good chin and good power.
7. Prime Tim Witherspoon is worthy to be here because of that famous overhand right that comes out of nowhere.
8. Gerry Cooney - all around good but not great heavyweight and his big heart would make a good fight. He had enough boxing fundamentals not to get caught up with the jab which would make it interesting even he loses.
9. Prime Mike Tyson - need I say more...in his prime he destroyed taller fighters.
10. Prime Evander Holyfield - The Warrior - small but a pure fighter with power in every single punch he hits you with. Head movement and footwork is among the best ever.
11. Prime Rid**** Bowe - fatigues but when he's on...he's on. At 6'5" I would destroy both of these guys.
12. Lennox Lewis - destroyed the one that's most durable but has lesser skills...the other has more skills but less durable...go figure
13. Prime and Clean Oliver McCall - never been KO'd (put to sleep or didn't make the count)...many say one of the hardest punchers and best chins of his era.
14. Mentally Stable Andrew Golota - one of the guys that 'coulda been'. His best fights were with Rid**** Bowe. He could give the Klits a fit.
15. Mentally Sharp Frank Bruno - this could give the Klits problems as well.
16. Rocky Marciano (?) - he was a very small heavyweight but his heart and style would have been big trouble most top heavyweights today. Not mention he had big man's power.
Remember...I'm saying that all these fighters would win and for sure some of them I don't think would win, but the thing is these guys would the Klits the business...no doubt. None of these fights are easy fights for the Klits considering who they've fought, loss to, and have beaten. The Klit fans on the forum are so intoxicated with ******ity that they post as if these guy are even on the level of a Muhammad Ali. Clearly they aren't on that level yet. They are good but lets be reasonable...and sane!
