How many fighters on Ali's resume could beat the Klitschkos?

[Dick Smokefield]

actually you're wrong......there were a few good 6'6 heavyweights in the 70's......Ernie Terrell was 6'6 & much wider then ether Klitschko. it's all about level of competition NOT size. apart from the 2 brothers guys that are 6'5+ mostly suck in this era.........also. wlad has stamina issues...YES 3 ROUNDS WOULD HURT HIM. really any guy that can consistently land on wlad would discourage him (even if the guy isn't all that good) i don't think wlad lasts in the 70's............vitali to me is much better fit for this task but with a few wars he wouldn't last ether..........lewis fought vitali like a old school blood & guts fighter from the past. there are more then a few fighters in the 70's that would take all of what vitali has to dish out & remain in his chest...........this is what klitscho fans don't understand. the brothers would QUICKLY find themselves in wars............

Ernie Terrell was a solid fighter but he wasn't that special and definitely ain't on either Klitschko's skill level. Terrell Owens would have a better shot at beating a Klitschko. Size definitely has something to do with it, cuz the more size(weight) the more force on your punches. I agree both brothers would be facing much stiffer competition than they are today. They would probably lose some fights just like the guys in the 70's did. Nobody escaped unscathed.

I agree with you that Wlad would have a tougher time back then, but Vitali is a different story. I think he has the tools to compete, not necessarily dominate in any era. You are playing with fire if you try to go to war with Vitali. Has he ever even been hurt by anybody? He's only been down once and that was in a kickboxing match.

i'm a *******. aaron pryor's style reminds me of manny pacquiao. manny pacquiao wasn't a 15 round fighter but he would knock all of the 90s-current heavyweights out in his prime at 130. he was weight drained you know.

Liston has a chance vs both
Frazier has a good shot vs Wlad
Foreman would beat Wlad, probably beat Vitali
Holmes would beat Wlad and Vitali

LOL Frazier would feel like he's getting buried alive every time Wlad clinched and pushed him up against the ropes. By the 2nd half of the fight Frazier would barely be able to stand and would ripe for a Wlad right hand 1 punch KO.

Liston gets dominated by both, Ron Lyle has a better chance than Liston. Holmes has the greatest jab ever but it would be useless against guys who have such a great length advantage.

When has Wlad ever faced someone like Frazier?

When has Frazier faced anyone like Wlad? Why make a pointless comment like this?

Foreman with his crude technique and open stance would get obliterated. He's also only 6'4

Look at how long it took Vitali to get rid of Sanders, and he got stunned in the process. That's the guy who's supposed to obliterate Foreman? Come on son.

when has frazier ever faced someone like wlad? Oh that's right it's when he got annihilated in 2 rounds by George Foreman

when has corrie sanders ever been stopped in his prime? In his prime only one man stopped him, Rahman only a few months before Rahman went on to annihilate Lennox Lewis with 1 brutal punch KO so Rahman was obviously at the peak of his career and strength so don't make it sound like Sanders doesn't have an iron chin.

My point is if it takes you that long to stop Sanders then how the fuck are you gonna obliterate a prime Foreman? Not just beat him but obliterate him.

non-comparable. sanders is a southpaw with some of the fastest heavyweight hands i've ever seen. you know who else is a southpaw with fast hands? yup, manny pacquiao. if pacquiao and the klits fought at a catchweight, pacquiao would ruin them and piss on their graves and **** both of their mothers even though its the same woman over their tombstones. i tell you what.
