Wladimir Klitschko: Who would he beat?

Jaz out of your group I would say only Dawson could dominate another top teir fighter with just 1 hand. Wlad is so far ahead of the rest of the heavyweights he could almost fight the best out there with "one hand tied behind his back" that's how good his jab and left hook are. The offense of Wladimir is far superior to all the fighters you mentioned...defense probably not but it's at least on par with them.

Well he can't literally do it with only one hand. He needs the right hand to block and be there to at least give the threat of throwing it. Also without using the right hand Wlad couldn't do his signature 1-2 punch :) And let's not forget about the added benefit Wlad's size offers for his offense.

Not to take away from Wlad as a fighter but seeing this "with one hand tied behind his back" for the 2nd time, I just had to comment.

What's your definition of technical skills??:confused: Wlad is extremely hard to out-box but that doesn't mean he has great technical skills.

It's like saying Muhammad Ali had great technical skills.

I mean Wladimir is fundamentally sound, so much so that he can have what many see as "glaring weaknesses" (chin, stamina) and can still be THE dominant fighter in the division.
