    How far will the Klithsckos have gone in the 90's era?

    Obviously in terms of sheer exictment, big fights and historical impact nothing beat the Ali Frazier Foreman Era, but in terms of sheer talent can a case be made for the 90's as the real golden era?

    You got Holyfield at his absolute best, Lennox Lewis, a faded but still very very good Tyson, Moorer, Prime Mercer, Ruddock, Bowe,Tua, Ike, even Morrison had a lot of talent. Golota, fat Old George but still with his power, Mccall etc.

    I mean even the lesser HW's of the 90's like Golota had a **** load of abilities. I think people underestimate Golota because of the paint job Lennox Lewis and Tyson did on him, but this guy had big amount of physical gifts and natural abilities.

    Honestly I think you have to take into consideration if the KBROS had fought in the 90's era, the wars they woulda gone through will severely damage them and they will be shells by the time they reach age 35.

    I think even a prime Ray Mercer would have knocked out early day Wlad. (wlad fought a 40 age+ joke version)

    I know vitali got a great chin, but have he even been hit with a razer smash?

    That Ruddock Smash could seroiusly end Wlad's life, that smash was no joke.

    Even 90's version of Tyson could probably stop Wlad.



    My Final conclusion is

    Wladimir : Middle of Pack, will never get the chance to progress as a fighter

    Vitali: probably hover around top 3


    Even if both far exceeds all expectations and rise to glories unforseen

    the Kbro express no matter how fast or powerful stops at Lennox.

    Vitali also took one punch his entire career as a chin tester. Lennox's one uppercut.

    Is a serious doubt over weather he can take even 90's Tyson combos, Razer smashes, Tua hooks, and one hit George.

      Both would have been world champs. Lewis and Bowe were the only threat to them at that time in my opinion. The rest were too small. Today's heavyweights outweigh that era by about 20 lbs.

        ya 20 pounds of fat.

        The 90's HW's were really really big muscles wise. Look at Ruddock during his Tyson weigh in, he looked like a animal.


        Vitali will do decent, but Wlad getting sandered by someone like Ruddock or 90's Tyson is completely different then getting sandered by well sanders. If you get sandered by Ruddock you will not recover.

        Not trying to discredit the Klithsckos, everyone by now admits that this era is the weakest hw era but the Klitschkos are just two great fighters in a weak era.

        I disagree, I don't think the Klitschkos are great fighters, the reason is beating up a bunch of B Level Fighters take tremedous toll on your body compare to beating up a bunch of F- fighters the Klits been doing.


        Can Vitali go through a ruddock tua 90's holyfield Ike in succession?

        There is a very very good chance he can.

        But the point is by the time Vitali gets to someone like Ike he would have been in three wars with ruddock holyfield and Tua. So he would have been damaged already going into Ike fight.

        As oppose to now where Vitali walks through 10 straight F- fighters that take zero toll on his body


        As for Wlad let's get real

        a 90's Tyson will end his career, Wlad will be a literal no factor in the 90's era. It takes at least a B- chin in the 90's to succeed and Wlad have a D+ one.




        Also there is no way in Hell the K Bros would have fought at 245+ in the 90's

        Just like if Ruddock was in his prime now he's 6'4 he will come into fights at probably 240. Weigh flucates with the era each fighter is in.

        Lennox going into 90's fights at 245-250 was a true freak because he didn't lose much foot speed against these faster fighters. If Wlad had gone in against 90's HW's at 245-248 ,he will get oblairavreaetd.

          Yes, and as history have repeatedly proven, size is the most important heavyweight intangible.
