Top 3 heavyweights to throw against Klitchko

[likeamulekick]

1. Evander Holyfield

Wladimar struggled with guys with iron chins. Holyfield would force Wladimar to fight like he did lewis but wlad doesn't have it in him like lewis did and doesn't have the same chin. A prime Holyfield would ko klitchko

2. George foreman

Wlad has speed but he weighs 240+ and cannot float around the ring, foreman will tear into him early and ko him early. Foremans heavy hands will destroy klitchkos chin

3. Mike Tyson

Wladimar povetkin is the best example how wlad wouldn't be able to jab fest Tyson and Tyson is a completely different fighter, very elusive, extremely fast and powerful and one of the best finshers. Wlad will try to lean on Tyson but Tysons speed will mean he will connect early and take wlad out in less than 6.

Holyfield I picked as number 1 simply because its impossible for wlad to knock out holyfield, he has a punchers chance against foreman and could possibly hold an survive against mike but couldn't win. Are these the best 3?

Holyfield would beat Wladimir... Wlad would beat the other two listed fighters

I do not see any problems for your picks. I could now pick three more without touching your list I think would easily handle the Frankensteinly slow oaf. Then I could pick three more without touching that list. After that, finding three more becomes tougher, as in requiring a few moments thought.

I'll throw in Rid**** Bowe, who I believe would knock out Wlad and bring the fight to him on the inside. Then I'll add Lennox Lewis and Muhammad Ali who I think would be stylistic nightmares for Wlad.

It wouldn't take an ATG to take Wlad apart as he is a very technically limited boxer. He only knows how to throw 3 punches: textbook jab, straight right, left hook. No bodypunching, no ability at all to fight on the inside so he just illegally clinches opponents to make up for it. He has great trouble dealing with even basic movement as seen against Haye and Jennings. He needs still targets to land his right hand. Jennings had the right idea but not the experience, skill nor power to execute properly.
I had Jennings winning 4 rounds + the point deduction (which should have come much sooner) and this is a guy who only started boxing 5 years ago and was a full time Janitor until last year.

He's just lucky he's around in this weak era. Had he come on the scene 10 years earlier he wouldn't have ever been the champion.

Cant think of top 3 ones to beat Wlad K because hes that good, so I went for a fair journeyman, a failed retiree and a failed young prospect to totally destroy wlad in a few rounds.

Ross Purrity
Corrie Sanders
Lamon Brewster


Hope that helps.
