Would the Klitschko brothers have dominated in this era?

[*TonyMontana*]

Not with fury around

Even vitali knows

Tyson told him to his face after he beats wlad he will beat him too if he wants it

Tyson won and vitali looked from afar giving evils

AJ beats wlad years later and vitali got all animated and excitable talking bout let's fight��

[Larry the boss]

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

Fury would have to move the entire fight and that would not beat Vital as he had great defense as well and could counter very well..and Fury would commit suicide trying to be aggressive with Vitali.,.

[Earl-Hickey]

Fury beats any version of Wlaad although a younger Wlad would have a punchers chance, I give him maybe a 15% chance.

For Vitali, Fury is just all wrong for him, Vitali used his height and reach even more so than Wlad did, leaning back, his arms usually always extending out, it made his head always be miles away from his shorter opponents reach.

Well Fury Is taller, rangier and quicker than Vitali, and he's also 30lbs heavier so if they come together he's got a fair weight advantage. Vitali was also an intimidate and that won't work on Fury. I see him getting out pointed 9 times out of 10.

So we know they don't beat the top guy today.

As far as Joshua goes? Him and prime Wlad would be a shoot out, I give Wlad an edge, but Joshua does have the ability to catch Wlad and a reasonable chance to KO, Vitali I'd favour over Joshua to a strong degree.

For Wilder, he loses to both klitschkos, and the rest like Ortiz etc they would just be routine klitschko opponents.

So I say if prime klitschkos are around today, they lose to Fury but probably beat the rest.

Vitali was too dependent on range, I don't think he ever fought anyone taller and bigger than him and his whole style was to be the big man, I think Fury gives him headaches.

If the Klitschko brothers were here it would be the 70”s all over again because more round Robbins of losses would have happened between certain guys . Wlad and Vitali would have knocked Wilder out of the pict literally . It would be AJ, Fury , Wlad and Vitali in the running .

But dominating this era ? I never once thought Wlad at any age would have defeated a seasoned AJ so already been defeated as people forget Wlad lost in different phases of his career so the prime thing doesn’t really hold up . For this reason I take AJ over Wlad and I could see it watching the Peter fights as well .

Vitali ? Possibly but somewhere I still see someone handing at least one L ,I believe Hrgovic who is the similar to him has never been seen since and he’s young and has better am experience, AJ and Fury win or lose is no easy fight for anyone .

Usyk ? Joyce ? These guys are also not going to be easy for anyone ,I could go on but imop this era has better big guys with better athletic abilities and skills overall . Abundance of prospects like DDD Mahkmudov and Sirenko etc ,this isn’t going to be an easy era to dominate for anyone once AJ becomes undisputed imop ,it’s not going to be easy wheather he holds on to what title Klitschko or not ,I mean I have Wlad as the number 3 HW if he returns right now if he can defeat AJ or Fury now as well then we have little guessing game because we can then guess under Steward what is more likely to happen .

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.

It's a big doubt. I think there's a big case for Wlad learning from the fight... and a handful of additional punches could change the outcome. You could say Fury simply had his number, but we'll never know.

The reason we'll never know is that Fury didn't fulfil his obligations. People talk a lot about Fury's amazing comeback, they don't talk too much about the fact he won a title and then didn't have the rematch he was obligated to compete in.

Yeah, but mental health... fk that. The Heavyweight Champion of the World needs to be able to deal with being champion.

Yes they would in my opinion, Today's heavyweights are nothing special. Not that bad but not that good, i think a prime Vitali would knock them all out.

They said the same thing about Klitschko brother era . I remember I worked with a huge boxing fan who couldn’t stand Vitali and said he had zero skill which could easily be mistaken as he was more awkward then anyone . Now we have Hrgovic and he’s an over hyped bum ? Ha

When the next era comes they will get the same thing of being downplayed it’s inevitable Even though Fury , and AJ will be used in fantasy fights no doubt .

brave words from the 27 year old Fury to the retired 44 year old Vitali. Let's see how much ass Fury is kicking 12 years from now when Fury is 44. A 17 year youth advantage makes a huge difference, Vitali was never knocked down in nearly 60 pro fights while fury has been hurt and down a few times in about half as many pro fights.

The other thing about "eras" is that people tend to combine every good fighter from a 10 year period into an "era" and then compare that to what's around literally just today, which is hardly fair.

Say the klitschko "era" they will talk about David Haye and prime Povetkin etc but they forget those guys came along over the space of a decade.

I could pick a really crappy year from the klitschkos reign and say "oh man what a bad era this is in 2012, klitschko only fought Wach, Thompson 2 and Mormeck, jesus how awful.

Point is its not the whole picture.

If we really want to compare eras you have to do a like for like time period, in which case there's still another 5 years to go for this era, by the end of it guys we haven't even heard of yet might be in the world title picture. I know Joshua went from being an amateur I'd only heard of on Steve Bunces podcast to being world champ in 5 years.
