    would the klitschko's dominate any era of heavyweight boxing ?

    With a mixture of skill power and sheer size that has never been seen before maybe withe the exception of lewis i think they would dominate any era except for lewis's.
    A lot is said about their limited opposition but this was the case for tyson marciano louis liston dempsey and other champs.
    And if not who beats them and how ?
    Wlads chin is questionable but vitali would stand up well head to head with any hw in history

    They'd be competitive, but to say they would dominate any era is simply nuts.

        Nope. They would be competitive but wouldnt dominate. In every other era I can think of the HW champion of the world hasn't been scared to engage in a fight (Wlad, not Vit before anyone says).

        90s, 80s, 70s, 60s - the HW's weren't safety first and would smell bloody (and fear) if they got into the ring with Wlad. Wlad would win some and his sheer size would give him an advantage over most but I shudder to think what would happen to him if he got in the ring with a prime aggressive Foreman, Fraizer, Tyson, Holyfield or Lewis.

          Erm, nope. The Klits are both great fighters, well Vitali anyway (you can't argue with what they have done) but they have also been very lucky the era they have boxed in.....and very lucky they got the 'big lanky streak of p*ss genes cause if the pair of them (particularly Wlad) had been around the 6 foot mark they would certainly not have dominated the way they have. (I'm not taking anything away from them btw, or bashing them, just stating facts).

              The heavyweights today aren't safety first, they are pussy first.

                So what you're saying is, the Klits only have size. Without size, they wouldn't be shit.

                    Size without skill = Tye Fields.

                    Size with toughness and great skill = Vitali Klitschko.
