if we could put both wlad and vitali back in the fighting days of jim jeffries which one of the klits would be more successful and would either beat the boilermaker

Ooooooh.
I dont doubt that either could outbox Jeffries!
The problem for the Klitschkos concerns the fight length. Jeffries fought 20-25 rounds at times. Their massive frames would surely struggle with this sort of fight length. Jeffries of course had terrific distance stamina and conditioning.
Their best bet would be to try and get Jeffries 'out' early. But he was a very tough chap, they might have serious difficulty doing that!!! -
id imagine they would be able to knock him down though haven been never kd in his prime.
all in all though even watching a past prime jeffries vs johnson you can clearly see how well hes able to dip inside the reach hit and clinch along with how well hes able to take some powerful shots from johnson.
i see a prime jeffries having no problem out lasting and tying up either klit perhaps loosing decision though in reality i dont see either klit lasting more then 20 rounds with out going down for the 10.Comment

Each Klitschko would have stopped him inside 12 ,so no need to worry about the extra stamina.Comment

Jim Jeffries...hahaha. Vitali is more conditioned than anyone back then. In Jeffries 20 round fights or something how many punches did he throw? I doubt it was over 1000 like Vitali throws in a 12 round fight.
This is the one thing to like abotu MMA, old people and haters cant be like "well this guy from UFC 1 would crush him..." because we've seen the shamrocks lose. Yeah, in UFC they used to go unlimited time etc...we know now how that wouldnt matter and watching Gracie and Shamrock dance around a ring in Detroit for an hor was just boring and doesnt mean they have more stamina that a Silva.
One reason why I wish I liked UFC is because I wouldnt be a fan of a sport held hostage by people who are ****** to nostalgia and pop culture love.Comment

me thinks you missed the point.Originally posted by Ruby Robert View Post
That is the point the fact that you cant hold on to these past fighters who were far inferior. Thank god we have times in track or people would try to argue Jesse Owens was the fastest man ever to live. Vitali would murder a Jim Jeffries in the ring. KO 1. Then he'd knock Jack Johnson out too and not break a sweat. people like Vitali didnt exist back then.
Again, jim jeffries threw like 20 punches a round...Jack Johnson pretty much wasa wrestler.
The nice thing about UFC is that when you say, "Oh man this guys great" no old person jumps in and says, "but they were better back in my day." Athletes are completely different now, a completely different calibur. Again just look at Jesse Owens track times, wouldnt even make some high schools relays. look at Mark Spitz's times...Phelps breaks his records in practice with a drag suit on, back to back. And people will argue boxing was more popular back then and disregard the lack of foreign fighters, both latino and european, but also Asian. They also wont realize that bad boxers starting out go into other sports instead of keeping on boxing and having records of 110-135 etc...Or that the athlete and medicine has changed now. Now a 39 year old Vitali Klitschko can throw 1000 punches in 12 rounds.Comment

vitali would be more successful he would last one or two more rounds than wlad,jeffries is way to good of a boxer to lose to these guys,i have jeffries winning against wlad by 4th round kayo and beating vitali via 5th of 6th round kayo,i aslo think tommy burns would dispose of the klits in similar manner,Originally posted by rsf View Post
