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.
