    hmmmm Wlad in the 90's with no Manny Steward....Any match Wlad doesn't win by KO he gets KTFO. Probably retires with a career and record similar to Hasim Rahman

      Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Rid**** Bowe, Evander Holyfield, Ike Ibeabuchi, Hasim Rahman, Oliver McCall, Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster, George Foreman, Tommy Morrison, Larry Holmes, Ross Puritty, Shannon Briggs, David Tua...

      ...the 90s would've been a nightmare for Wladimir Klitschko.

        Wlad was beat down by Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster.

        Rid****, Lewis, Ibeabuchi, Tua, Tyson, Holyfield best him.

        Wlad was a still a good and dominant HW.

          Well, from a resume perspective Wlad's really ****. That's not his fault really. From a technical perspective he's pretty **** too, and, that one is his fault.


          His resume suffers because he was the only in shape, full size, prime, HW of his era outside of his own brother.

          His performances suffered because he had his most successful years under Manny who told people all the time in no uncertain terms Wlad is sticking to amatuer techniques.

          He was big, in shape, and capable of basic boxing in an era when every HW who isn't named Klitschko is small, out of shape, over the hill, and not capable of even the most basic forms of boxing.

          I think he got a little ****ed over by Povetkin being a tinkerbell and delaying their match by nearly a decade.

          I think if Vitali had stayed retired and Wlad was able to get the WBC he'd've at least had defenses against guys like Chisora.

          I think Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua would have beaten Wlad at any point in his career.

          I think Wlad lost pretty handedly to B-side boxers in an era with talented and in shape HWs, reigned over an era that had none, and then lost again as soon as in shape and talented HWs populated the upper ranks of the division again.




          The 90s is a pretty talented era, Wlad doesn't do so well outside of his own.

            When he leans on an opponent he's nearly unbeatable. I think Wlad could beat any small HW in history but is vulnerable to larger super heavies who his leaning tactics don't work against.
