Would these fighters be champs today?

[katsidis]

Considering he paces himself by throwing 20 punches a round to prevent a repeat of the first Brewster fight.....that kind of punch out-put he can get away with against drek like Chambers and company, not against quality opponents. To put it bluntly, Wlad lets his hands go = Wlad runs out of gas. It's one thing to get away with putting in a minimum offensive effort against low-quality opponents who don't fight back and run up white flags by the mid-way point; it's quite another to try that **** against a live foe who comes to fight: THAT get's your azz beat.

I would say that fighters do come to fight against Wlad, but after a few rounds of a dominant jab in their face, they realize they stand no chance against a superior boxer.

Because ALL of them are inferior fighters, not compared to Wlad, but compared by ANY standard you care to compare them with. None of them have any clue about how to fight when they're at a reach disadvantage: They aren't taught it. They all fight with the same carbon-copy template that pays no regard to the particular matchup. To put it bluntly, these dudes are NOT taught how to fight. They make NO attempt to get inside Wlad's reach, in fact they actually take steps BACK out when they accidently get inside. I'm sorry but Wlad isn't going to get credit for being able to peck away lazily at these lobotimized no-talents masquerading as Heavyweight "contenders". In a decent era nobody would know who these guys are because they're simply too clueless of the Sweet Science to make even fringe contender status.

I've been watching boxing long enough to know the difference between a sow's ear and a silk purse.

I havnt seen every fight but I have seen most Klitschko fights on YouTube etc but the saying "if you've seen one Klitschko fight you've seen them all " applies.

Indeed it does: If you've seen one no-talent Klit opponent you've seen them all. And I don't rely on YouTube footage to watch the fights: I have a DVD player that gives a MUCH better picture of what's going on.

Seriously though, you really should get as many fights burned to DVD as you can. It gives you a much better view and you can stop and start and go back like you're breaking down game films

I agree but YouTube is good for just watching fights quickly etc.

[The_Demon]

Quarry beats both klitschkos imo.

Id favour vitali over the other but i think wlad would freezed if faced with a tough rugged brawler such as Chuvalo

[Tyson.]

No they wouldnt.

The likes of Rahman, Gomez and Chagaev have all failed to beat the Klits dont see them being able to do it.
