And yet now, EVERYBODY seems to know who all of Wladimir's opponents are just as famously as those ones in that era.

Funny how time sorted that out, and that's DESPITE the fact many of them are foreigners!

I mean old veteran Thomson finishing Price and mounting a great fight against Pulev... Reminiscent of old Larry against Morrison and Holyfield not?

Who could lazy Tony Tucker have beaten from Wlad's top opponents? And this guy went the distance with Lennox Lewis?

Something isn't quite right with much of your analysis.

It is questionable whether Bowe could have beaten Pulev.

It is questionable whether Tyson could have beaten Povetkin.

It is questionable whether Lewis could have beaten Wladimir.

It is questionable whether Holyfield could have beaten Haye.

It is questionable whether Holmes could have beaten Thompson.

And so on.
