    Is there any he can win?
    One minute he is a head-to-head giant, the next everyone from history beats him.

    Here is a list of fighters who apparently beat Wladimir in a fantasy fight according to most of you & i've probably missed a fair few...

    George Foreman
    Mike Tyson
    Razor Ruddock
    Muhammad Ali
    Joe Louis
    Rocky Marciano *rolls eyes*
    Lennox Lewis
    Rid**** ''Mr one night only'' Bowe
    Archie Moore
    Larry Holmes
    Max Baer
    Ernie Schaaf
    Evander Holyfield (prime)
    Vitali Klitschko - Personally I feel Wladimir dismantles him. Too fast all round.
    Tim Witherspoon
    Buster Douglas
    Frank Bruno
    Michael Moorer (prime)
    Sonny Liston
    Joe Frazier
    Floyd Patterson
    Primo Carnera
    Ken Norton

    Just my opinion but half that list don't even put a glove on the guy.
    Foreman and Lennox are no-brainers to stop Wlad IMO. Ali is a no brainer to decision Wlad, and possibly stop him. I'd pick Tyson to slaughter Wlad, but I can never be sure with Tyson.

    I'd feel pretty good about picking Louis, Holyfield, Holmes, and Liston over Wlad. I'd pick Frazier, but that's a close fight that I have no problem with people picking Wlad in.

    I'd pick Vitali, but can easily see how Wlad would beat him.

      Some good points made TS. Wladimir is very underrated, he's a great fighter and he could have beaten many of the previous champions.

          Size, speed, skillset, power, defense, footwork, ability to follow a gameplan & I think his heart is hugely underrated.

          I don't think anybody clearly beats him I would however favour a select few but to think Wladimir would have no chance is crazy talk.

            Good picks thus far, certainly not far-fetched ones.

              Size, athleticism and skills.

                    I would only choose prime Ali to clearly beat him 9 out of 10 times.

                    Absolute best version of tyson (which seems is not sustainable) I would favor also.
                    None of the rest gets more than 50% in my book...

                      Out of the ones you mentioned i kept those who i think could most likely beat Wlad.

                      What stands out the most for me in your list if Vitali. Personally i think he would take his younger brother to school. But that fight will never happen and i don't really mind, it's understandable that brothers would not want to fight each other for money.
