Would fighters like Bruno,Shavers,Norton,Ruddock be Champ today?

[El Kabong]

I really don't see how any of the fighters listed would be title holders or champions now. Shavers could be cruiserweight champ, but his cardio and chin were so poor.

Ken Norton would get blasted by Vitali and he would do well vs Wlad because although Norton was strong and he used that strength vs Ali and Holmes, Wlad is just as strong if not stronger and has been known to bully his opponents into range.

The other guys were just not as consistent.

Ron Lyle may have had a shot vs a younger Wladimir who was more willing to trade, I see Ron Lyle being able to pull off a Brewster/Purrity type upset if there would be one person who could, but even then it would be quite a long shot.

apart from Bruno obviously

Bruno had power, but you need more than that to beat Wlad.

Piye, yes...that's fucking ridiculous

Is this a joke about Bruno or something i mean guy could not even make a defence and he the best ever. I think it must be a brit thing that i am not getting form you eric anyhow think the brothers win it.

[FinitoElDinamita]

IM not sure about Bruno but Shavers, Norton and Ruddock could have been titleholders.

Bruno was/is the best heavyweight in history

Wlad woldnt last a round or 2. FACT!

I've been watching some of the lost generation of Heavyweight's from the 80's, and guys like Page, Witherspoon, Thomas, in there primes. Had much better talent than the Klitschko's IMO, prime for prime if they were in shape i have no doubt they would of beaten the Klitschko's.

The Klitschko's would have had no trouble with any of the fighters you mentioned. Witherspoon? Really

[brocktonblockbust]

I say Greg, Pinklon, and Tim ALL smoke the Klitschkos.

[FinitoElDinamita]

I say Greg, Pinklon, and Tim ALL smoke the Klitschkos.

Only thing Greg and Pinklon would have smoked are the Clit's cocks.. They aint smoking nothing inside that ring..

Tim Witherspoon on his best day could have competed but i doubt he wins..

And Bruno obviously

You need to watch some of those guys in there prime Lyle, especially Tim Witherspoon who at his best was a better version of Ken Norton. Greg Page fought alot like Muhammad Ali but not as good obviously, and Pinklon Thomas had one of the finest jabs in Heavyweight history. Plus they were a good size aswell 6'3.

6'3 or not it doesn't matter, the Klitschko's are GREAT heavyweights. Ken Norton was like Andrew Golota, he could BOX with anyone but get a big banger in there and he was toast! Witherspoon fought Holmes well enough but other than that he was NOT impressive. As for Greg Page, you know who else tried to fight like Ali...Larry Donald...a guy that Vitali had 0 trouble with.

Well i wouldn't call them great Heavyweight's, i know your a fan of them Lyle. And there's nothing wrong in that, but i'd hardly call them great Heavyweight's. And if a guy like Shannon Briggs can somehow get his hands on a belt. Then any of those fighters mentioned would win a belt easy.

That's why im on about on there best night, because alot of 80's Heavyweight's were talented but were inconsistent because of there problem's outside the ring. You honestly think the contenders of today would stand a chance against the talented 80's Heavyweight's ? they'd run rings around fat slobs like Samuel Peter.

Larry Donald was 35 year's old, im on about a prime Greg Page. A guy that Muhammad Ali once said would take over from him, sure he was inconsistent and very lazy and didn't become what he should have.

But the Greg Page who was in shape, and could move around the ring very well. And could punch pretty well aswell, would give both the Klitschko brothers hell. And could possibly pull off the upset.

The Klitschko's have never really beat a talented Heavyweight, well Vitali has Sanders thats about it. And Wlad has Byrd but he was too small and not really a big Heavyweight. Like the other guys who were 220+ and 6'3.
