    Would the Klitschko brothers have dominated in this era?

    The klitschko brothers dominated for TEN plus years. But it was a weak era of HW division.

    So, would they have dominated in this era If they were in there prime with AJ, Fury, Wilder, Dubois, Whyte, Hrgovic.

    Cause klitschko was way past his best against fury and still only just narrowly lost. And he was even more way past his best against AJ and took him apart until he gassed and nothing left in his old age body.

    Prime klitschko brothers for me wipe this current division away easily.

    Fury already beat Wlad, if you think a younger Wlad would make a difference then YDKSAB.

    Vitali would be more game but would also lose. Fury dominates in any era. You have to scrounge history to find someone who has a chance.


    Also, imagine walking away from the Fury/Wlad fight and saying "he narrowly lost"....

      The aggressive Fury that showed up in the Wilder rematch would have been very difficult for ANY HW of any era to beat. He is bigger, longer & more awkward than any HW ever. He also has great boxing skills & IQ. He would be nearly impossible to train for. Hell he could show up & box in the southpaw stance effectively at any moment. He really is a rare talent. Both Klitschkos would have done well but there would have been some real threats...

        I still think Klitschko would’ve beaten fury in the rematch. He underestimated fury subconsciously for sure and don’t underestimate motivation power for fights.

          No, these Heavyweights are a lot younger, stronger and bigger than previous eras.

            Wladimir Kiltschko may take a loss here and there, but he will decimate all his opponents in rematches 'He would of done Joshua over in the rematch if he would of taken it'.

            I think stylistically Vitali Kiltschko is one of Tyson Fury's worst match ups 'Vitali Kiltschko was not easy to hit, had great movement and was equipped with fast hand speed and impressive endurance'.

            Fury's bamboozling tactics would not work on him, Fury would have no choice but to come forward.

            Note: Wladimir Kiltschko would of also beaten Tyson Fury in their rematch, Fury was spooked during the entire build up 'He was not going to win the rematch, by using the same tactics from the first fight' Peter Fury was well aware of this.

              How are you coming to these conclusions?

              I don't get this talk 'That we are witnessing the era of genetic marvels'.

              Alexandra Povetkin is 40+ years of age, 220 pounds and has just ****** out Dillian Whyte who was 252 pounds.

              stronger and bigger?

                Dillian can't fight. So he doesn't count. However, we are witnessing a new era of super giant heavyweights; Who are at least 6 feet 5 inches tall or taller like:

                Joe Joyce

                Deontay Wilder

                Daniel Dubois

                Tyson Fury

                Robert Helenius

                Anthony Joshua

                Mariusz Wach

                Efe Ajagba

                Gerald Washington

                Dominic Breazeale

                    I tend to agree, him and Fury would be a nice clash of styles though, I can see how Fury could decision Vitali.
