Vitali would beat Patterson, based on size alone. Liston, probably as well. Frazier, it'd be interesting. Ali and Foreman, in their primes, no way. Foreman was as big and as bad as either Klitschko.
Ron Lyle, Ken Norton, and Earnie Shavers are better than anything the Klitschko's have had to face. I don't put a lot of stock into being up 4 rounds to 2 against a 37 year old Lennox Lewis, sorry.
The Klitschko's are ATG HW's, but based on their era, career, resume, and skills mixed together, I can't go any higher than Top 15 HW's. H2H, they are probably top 10.
But, the fact that an absolute prime Vitali didn't even dominate a 37 year old Lennox, who was way past it and out of shape, validates that theyw ould have struggled a ton in other era's. Corrie Sanders, Eddie Chambers, Samuel Peter, Chris Byrd, David Haye, Odlainer Solis, are some of the toughest names they've had to face.......that alone proves my point.
