You may be right, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, but you're wrong about Klitschko's limited skills. He had every punch in the book. Before he got TKO's\d unexpectedly by Sanders lightning fast, unexpected punch, helped by a simultaneous head butt (look carefully at the video), then Brewster, whom he half killed before that sudden, inexplicable fadeout in the 4th. He was a tiger, who had every punch. His left jab was as powerful as many right hand blockbusters.Fury has an awful style for any version of Wlad. Fury beats him. Wlad had a very limited but effective set of skills but Fury really knew exactly how to take them away and make him ineffective and could’ve done that to any version of him.
He smashes Joshua.
He beat Wilder probably 8 or 9 times out of 10 but you always have to give Wilder chance because of that power.
As a side-note, After he stopped Ray Mercer, using every punch in the book, I recall that Larry Merchant, at ringside, said, prophetically as it turned out, "he's so perfect. I wonder what's wrong with him"... Does anyone remember THAT.. Right beside him George
Foreman agreed, gabbling glibly how wonderful Klitschko was. Just like he was selling a cooker.
After Mercer, he stopped Jameel McCline, and THEN came the Sanders TKO.. After him, a couple of quick KOs with ham-and-eggers THEN Brewster. So Manny Steward changed his style to be like Lennox Lewis. He was clumsy at it at first, but quickly got the hang of it, and never lost again for many years. Still KO-ing opponents, but wearing them down first.Comment

Wlad beats Wilder 99/100.
He beats Joshua 60 out of 40.
We know Fury beat old Wlad but it's the only real test he's faced, and I don't think Fury fancied the rematch. Probably reserve judgement until Fury proves himself.Comment

Why wouldn't Fury fancy a rematch against a man he won every round against in his own backyard?
Fury didn't rematch Wlad because he was mentally ill.Comment

100% this.He beats them all.
I have always been adamant, that he would of beaten Fury in their rematch. A man of Wladimir Kiltschko's perceptive intelligence, does not necessarily get weaker in defeat 'All the first fight with Fury provided was information, to be analysed and transmuted into a better version of himself' THIS was a trait that all Emmanuel Stewards heavyweights shared.
The one positive that Kiltschko could have taken from their first fight was? That he was the constant aggressor, and Fury's power at minimal affect upon him 'Kiltschko did not fear Fury at all coming into that second fight'.Comment

We're not trying to prove he's title level. To consider how he'd do against prime Wlad we're trying to prove that he's elite. Because Wlad was elite.
We've seen him in one big fight. Plus two against the worst reigning champion in history. It's not enough to judge him yet - could be great. Might remain unproven. At his current rate his second 'reign' is starting to look like his first 'reign'.Comment
