Would the Klitschko brothers have dominated in this era?

[*TonyMontana*]

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.

Had vitali ever fought a man like fury though

Theres something about him makes a man very uncomfortable and unconfident

It's funny that some of you think that Vitali is just a big man. He is very skilled, better boxing IQ than wlad, he is more driven and menacing than wlad, has good power and a very good chin. He would do well against the current heavyweights. He is all wrong for guys like wilder and AJ, and he would figure fury out and hurt him as well.

Vitali was a skilled big man but as I have already stated his size played heavily into his style and he would be in trouble vs Fury.

Wlad gets schooled again by Fury or gets stopped by Kronk Fury!

Vitali gets schooled in a competitive fight by Fury but knocks out Kronk Fury!

Wlad knocks out AJ but AJ can knock out Wlad too!

Vitali crushes AJ but Saudi AJ can jab/move an get the decision over Vitali!

Wlad knocks out Wilder but Wilder could catch an put Wlad to sleep!

Vitali obliterates Wilder but Wilder could catch Vitali an turn his lights off as well!

Wlad decisions Ruiz!

Vitali stops Ruiz!

Wlad knocks out Whyte

Vitali destroys Whyte

The rest Likely gets knocked out or wrestled to a boring decision win!

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.

Agreed . No one really liked Lewis when he was fighting if they were actually following boxing and not kids but now he’s the most unbeatable all around , this is done with logics ,it’s why AJ and Fury could win against anyone . When they fight it won’t be giving credit until the next gen of fighters unfortunately.

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 ****s them.

But they beat the rest.

[JakeTheBoxer]

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

Wach? Are you joking? Wladimir destroyed prime, unbeaten Wach.

From all guys from your list, only Joshua and Fury would be a competition for Klitschkos.

You know Klitschkos are both big, right?

Helenius? Don`t make me laugh, he is not even top 15 now.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Bros would be clearly on top. Wladimir was better fighter than Fury and Joshua are. he struggled with Joshua when he was 41 years old and Fury run away from a rematch with old Wlad. Enough said.

Vitali was worse fighter than his brother, but he would stop the most of todays heavyweights.

[BodyBagz]

Unequivocally yes.......

[TheReadyTimeBoy]

I didnt like Wlad or Vitali much when they were around. But looking back, they were extremely good fighters. I do think that Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Whyte would be much more live challengers then pretty much all the guys the Klitschko's defended their belts against though, theres some pretty interesting style match ups in those fights. All of those guys are big but much more dynamic then other big guys that size, especially Fury. They could all probably go either way, but I could also see Vitali beating everyone.
