how would the klitschkos have got on during the late 80s/early 90s era??

Vitali could hold his own but would lose to prime Bowe, Holyfield, Tyson and Lewis, but all were inconsistent so at certain time Vitali may have been able to beat them.

Wlad is getting better but would lose to even the inconsistent moments the champs mentioned above may have had.

i could never see Wlad surviving a holyfield-bowe type war they went through and eventually taking a 10 count on the floor at some point. Vitali on the other hand probably would of been too good a boxer to get drawn into an all out fight like that though whether he would of been good enough to take holyfields ring guile or bowes power i just dont know?

Lewis would of boxed both guys heads off in his prime ive no reason to think otherwise. An 18 year old tyson would of probably steam rollered his way through Wlad the second he was able to get inside though again with vitali he may just of been good enough to play hare for a couple of rounds thus wearing iron mike out!

Lewis wasn't as good of a pure boxer in his physical prime later on, he was definitely good, but Vitali clearly showed Lennox would never box his head off. Lennox is my favorite heavyweight ever, and I think Vitalit gives him in his prime the hardest fight of his life.

You are right Wladimir Klitschko would never be able to survive a Holyfield-Bowe type war, but he would never a fight agianst a guy 6'2 turn into a war. WHen guys who are 240 can't handle the power of his jab, I would love to see Holyfield do it.

Vitali gives any heavyweight in history problems.....I think it is basically a tossup..I dont see anyone I would bet the house would beat him.....Wlad on the other hand would have trouble with fast, big punchers like Tyson.....The problem is Wlad can get rattled.......BUT if Wlad weathers the storm he has the physical gifts and power to create trouble for anyone....

The Klitchkos are up there when it comes to technically sound fighters and as we have seen with Hopkins it creates problems albeit not necessarily an exciting fight for the fans........
