    Default How would Wlad fair against......

    ....fighters like Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Ali, Foreman, Fraizer?

    I mean ok yeah, he has become a bit of a joke as the heavyweight division crumbles around him and the opponents he has fought and beat have been sub par.

    BUT

    It isn't his fault that the division is lacking and how do you think he would do if he were around in a better time?

    I doubt he'd have been as good as he appears now, but I do still think he would have done alright!

    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    He has the skill to beat anyone on that list. Lewis and his brother are the only ones who I think beats him every other day. Frazier would have kept it interesting with the pressure and unpredictable left hook.

    I could see Wlad beat Joe by holding the back of his neck like Ali did to good effect and maybe survive the onslaught from Foreman to take it to the later rounds.

    I agree with Frazier. I would still pick Frazier but I could see wlad holding a lot and Frazier doesn't have the greatest defense.

    Did you see Wlad today, he looked vulnerable and spectacular.

    Haha. Yes. I thought the same exact thing. This was the most impressed I've been by him in a long time and yet, I saw glaring weaknesses.

    I think Tyson beats him nearly every time, Mike was just too good at getting in on tall guys and eventually Mike would catch him with something.

    Lewis, Holyfield and Ali are a toss-up to me. Either way, Wlad is a tough day in the office for all of those guys.

    I think he'd do more favourably against Foreman, who had a ton of power but was much slower and less mobile than the guys mentioned above, I think he'd have trouble with Wlad's range and speed.

    Joe Frazier is the low man on the totem pole. I don't think he'd have much of a chance vs. Wlad stylistically. I know he made his living getting inside on taller guys, but I just don't think he had the defensive capabilities to avoid Wlad's heavy artillery on the way in, and he didn't have the kind of speed necessary.

    I can't see him beating Foreman in his prime. Perhaps if he did a dope arope and tired Foreman out but I don't think he could withstand it like Ali did.

    Few could.

    Really, only one could.

    True, Ali took some bombs that day, could Wlad?

    Frazier and Holyfield only ones I see having trouble with him.

    Joe would have to win by one punch KO but I can see him landing similar to how he did to floor Ali

    I think Frank Bruno could also beat Klitschko by early KO

    I don't think he would have to.

    Foreman couldn't win the battle of the jabs with him and Foreman would have been kept more honest against Wlad because Wlad could have knocked him out at any time with either hand, unlike Ali.

    Foreman has never been knocked out except for Ali and that was more because he was exhausted. George chin has been very durable.

    Prime Tyson would have absolutely fucked Wlad up in the first round, Wlads style was tailor made for him and he'd have just slipped inside and it'd be all over pretty quick.
