    Im american but i dont care if americans are in it or not,,, could care less,, i love watching the featherweights when it was prince, manny, morales, jmm, barrera, none being american,,,

    Americans like winners no matter the nationality,,,,

    everyone thinks wlad and vitali are great,,, just the rest of the division is very weak,, alot of fun matchups to make like wilder vs chisora or huck vs povetkin 2 or fury vs arreola,,,
    But after the klits there is a sharp drop in talent,,, whereas in other eras especially the 70s and 90s there was more than 2 guys...

    Jimmy young from the 70s was about the 6,7 best heavy then and would dominant everyone know,, and would have a great shot of beating either klit

      Sad thing about Jimmy. He was always close to the top, but never reached it, and died, forgotten and punch drunk. What a waste of a life, and a fit human body. Boxing ...

          How do you think he would have faired in today's division,,

          i think he boxes the ears off fury, povetkin, haye,, and would have the best chance of beating the klits....

            I believe Klitschkos would have been too strong, but that he had the skills and capacity to handle everybody else.

                Tyson is no where near any of these guys, his best win are burbeck(who beat a zombie Ali) Spinks whom was a blown up Cruiser and Bruno(who would have been embarrassed by the Klitsckos)

                Face it, the 60's and 70's were midgets compared to this era..and it was only Unathletic Americans, now the rest of the world fights...
                Tyson was shot by then stop talking bollox, you could argue that the Klitschko's could do well in any era but the other guys Areolla, Fury Adamek would be laced out by even the Tommy Morrisons of this world! height isn't everything you know!

                  Today they would fare roughly the same!

                  I wonder what Haye, Fury, Pulev etc would think about KOing those boxers. Paycheck yes!
                  I cant knock your enthusiasm but you can't tell me prime Tua, ibeabuchi ,bruno, Mercer, Bowe ect would not lay bums like Tyson Fury and Areolla out?
