    Vitali and WLadimir Vs the other great white hopes of the past

    How do you all feel that the Klitchkos would have fared against the other Great white hopes of the past.

    1. Tommy Morrison
    2. Gerry Cooney
    3. Randall "Tex" Cobb
    4. Oscar Bonovena
    5. Gerry Quarry


    Add any to the list if I forgot any.

      I think that Oscar and Tex would have both put a hurting on both of them. Both of those guys were super tough and you know what happens when someone actually throws punches back at the Klitchkos? They both panic in the ring and don't know what to do.

        Vitali had constant punches thrown at him in the LEwis fight, and a many dangerous ones from Sanders, and these are two of the biggest hitters in the division at the time.

                That Vitali can deal with big punchers.

                  I wont disagree with you that they both hit hard however:

                  Sanders Was so much overweight he could hardly hold his hands up to defend himself without breaking a sweat, let alone throw any punches. He could hardly stand, and had a whole tire around his waist. Obviously he wanted a payday and could have cared less if he won or loose.

                  Lennox Lewis- Again came in out of shape. Initially he was supposed to fight Kirk Johnson who obiviously he was underestimating. When the Johnson fight fell through he took the Vitali fight on short notice. now if he had had the preperation time to truly prepare for Vitali do you think the outcome would have been the same? Lewis was out of shape and sloppy for that fight. He and Klitchko traded right hands all night and he tore Klitchkos face up like it was made of c'repe paper. Had Lewis been in shape he would have probably TKo'ed him sooner or actually gotten then knockout.

                    The Klitschkos bros are most likely to take over the division so quit trashin them and move on.
