I just want people's opinions on who Wlad would beat or would be beaten by out of the guys Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, etc fought to earn their greatness for example:

Donovan Rudduck
Tommy Morrison
Frank Bruno
Mitch Green
James Tillis
James Smith
David Tua
Shannon Briggs
Tony Tucker
Hasim Rahman
Michael Moorer
Andrew Golota
Michael Dokes
Pinklon Thomas
Michael Spinks
Renoldo Snipes
Tim Witherspoon

I'm just curious to what everyone thinks

Of them I honestly think he would beat Berbick, Snipes, Maybe Pinklon and Dokes, Golota, Rahman, Maybe Tucker, Briggs, Tillis, Green, Bruno. The rest I think would have beaten Wlad In their heydays. Also i'm not the biggest Tyson fan by the way as barring a very old Larry Holmes every other LEGEND he fought beat him.

[Dark Lord Al]

He beats pretty much all of those guys

[Tysonbruno]

I would go with Ruddock,Bruno,Witherspoon,Briggs and perhaps Tua to beat him he beats the rest but i would give berbick,tucker,Golota and Morrison a chance.

[El Kabong]

I know about Tyson....he did fight Spinks who was a great fighter but only at lightheavyweight.


So the guys you have beating Wlad are: Rudduck, Morrison, Tua, Smith, Witherspoon, and Moorer.

I see Wlad only having trouble with a prime Shannon Briggs because he was big he could take a punch and was active in the ring.

Yeah I think he'd easily outbox Shannon though. Straightforward fight for Wlad. To me he would struggle with a smaller heavy thats always in his face.

If you are talking on their best form, I'm actually not sure Wlad would beat any of those guys cept for perhaps Smith, Rudduck or Moorer could be pick ems. No way Wlad would beat a prime Tua or even Morrison though imo, he just cant handle that can't of firepower, he's to rigid and limited. Honestly you overrate him so much it's hilarious. You actually think he would have beaten the Tim Witherspoon that fought LArry Holmes?? Your kidding me.

Those guys that I mentioned are not considered GREAT fighters and the reason being is that they weren't consistent and could lose at any time.

Tim Witherspoon was 15-0-0 when he squared off vs Holmes. Wlad has something Larry never did and that's punching power! Larry had a record of 42 (28 KO's)-0-0 when he fought Witherspoon. Tim never really fought vs the big time power punchers of his era....I guess Dokes counts but even then it's not on par with what Wlad brings.

David Tua's worst enemy is a jab and movement and Wlad would make him look silly.

Tommy Morrison could be outboxed and out gunned and his stamina was also in question.

I don't think it's overrating Wlad to think that he could beat those fighters, I also want to say those type of guys are kind of what the division has right now.

Morrison's stamina was at least as good a Wlad's and his pace would have given Wlad fits.....Wlad has terrible movement or at least can't fight for long moving so trying to say that Wlad could expose Tua like LL did is just silly...Wlad would clearly win early then by the 6 or 7th round when he was exhausted and fighting flat footed he'd be wacked out by Tua...

I disagree Larry Holmes during his championship reign had 14 stoppage wins out of his 20 title defenses and had 7 straight stoppage wins which is the record tied with Joe Louis i don't know why you think Larry Holmes had no punching power but its wrong.

[CountryBoy]

I think Tommy Morrison would have beat him out of shear determination, If the young Morrison fought on the inside of Klitschko jab he would rough him up. Klitschko does not handle pressure well. And Morrison presents a ass load of pressure. But if he chose to fight him like he did Lewis it could be an early night for Wlad.

With that being said, I say Morrison catches early and would not let him off the hook

I like that list. Except Briggs loses by big fat asthma douche. And claims he just fought like a warrior and is the baddest man around...

[El Kabong]

I'm not shocked about people picking Bruno or Morrison to beat Wlad but Rudduck

Those guys couldn't really box...Morrison did but vs a very slow George Foreman, Wlad is athletic and his jab is pretty damn good.

From how Wlad has been beaten before you either have to be able to sneak a punch in there and nail him and never let up or you have to take a beating and withstand until Wlad gets tired and those times are coming fewer and fewer as Wlad is fighting smarter. The guys who could do that are: Tua, Morrison, and Rahman. Tua has never been KO'd, Morrison fought with heart and could take a beating, and Rahman could sneak a big punch in, he did it to Lewis.

I don't see why people pick Bruno to win but I understand why they would like him to win, because he's the only true British heavyweight that was any good from the last couple of years....Lennox was Canadian/Jamaican/British so he wasn't 100% British the way Bruno was
