Klitschkos would be just as dominating in the 60s and 70s

i would give the klits a good chance against any heavyweight

Klit would probably win a belt, but no he does not beat Holmes or Foreman.

The Klitschkos are lucky to be fighting in a VERY weak heavyweight division. They haven't fought anyone with a decent skill set. Although Wlad is now fighting someone with a decent skill set, it's too bad Chambers is 6'1.

They dont like to engage, fighters back then made you engage, they wouldnt fair well.

With their size, skill and power there would be very few who could match them really. They would crush Foreman and Ali and Frazier. The first two have lost to lesser fighters than the Klitschkos and Frazier was simply too short to cope with them, as he was too short to cope with Foreman.

Foreman got battered and knocked down twice by RON LYLE. Imagine what Wlad would do to him.

People have said this for many years now. It's true, just very unpopular.

It's difficult for boxing fans to get their head around it, but the 1-2 Vitali-Wladimir would be too much for probably any champ/contender that I can think of in the 60's and 70's. They might make it by one of the bros, if there was a freak thing (torn rotator, panic attack, etc), or if Foreman got one of them in trouble early, etc. But for the most part, it would be domination by them.

I mean, I love Joe Frazier, but if you thought his head was swollen after the Ali fights... well, he'd be unrecognizable...

I've seen more objectivity on FOX News.

LOL.

Anyone who disagree is hater and have no sense of reality.

Wlad was KO'ed by Ross Puritty, Corrie Sanders & Lamon Brewster
even Peter knocked him down 3 times......


Vitali would IMO be more effective, I believe if you engage Wlad he breaks down,......(reference the fights he was KO'ed in)

These Klitschko brothers are good fighters in this era of SUPER HW's that are fat, lazy & out of shape....but the fighters from the 60's & 70's...hell even fighters in the 80's would give them hell.....Evander in his Prime (90's) would beat both Klits.....

Klitschko's are very good HW's. But very one dimensional.

Imagine Joe Frazier vs. Wlad, I see Joe being too elusive and bombing him out within 5 rounds.

Funny, I see Ali having bad inside skills. How was Ali going to get inside on any Klit and then how was he going to down them? He wasnt. People are out of their minds, Vitali would never lose to a guy as dumb as Tyson or Ali who was so simple minded he almost missed the draft by being borderline ******ed. Vitali would be in better shape, have more knowledge about training, nutrition and fitness. He is bigger, stronger and has a longer reach. His chin is a rock. He has the highest KO percentage in HW history.

Seriously, anyone ever notice how whenever theres a white HW champion of any origin people always say, "well the division ****** then." I dont want to cry racism, but it has to be racist. Its not Vitali's fault he doesnt lose to guys like Peter and then come back and beat them. The 70's fighters look better because they all lost to eachother. It was rock paper scissors and no fighter was a complete fighter. Ali punched softer than his daughter, got knocked down by club fighters, and was bad on the inside. Foreman was even dumber than Ali. Frazier was 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weight 190 lbs and had 1 ko in his final 14 fights. He was done after his first fight with Ali. Larry Holmes...next.

I wont discuss Wlad cause I don't want to get into a discussion about how far he has come since the sanders fight and early in his career. He stands tall now and doesnt fear pressure or hits as much. Vitali crushes these guys.

Why do people think every other sport is moving forwards with players and athletes getting better. Guys run .8 seconds faster in the 100m than Jesse Owens ever did, Spitz wouldnt even have made the olympic team last year, but for some reason boxing...and only HW boxing at that, is moving backwards.

This is the post of someone who is clearly a racist, but won't admit it. I mean come on I know you're going to cry the whole REVERSE RACISM thing, but I can tell from your post that you are clearly a racist. And you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. If you think Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster, Ross Purity, and Chris Byrd are acceptable loses for someone then kudos to you, but those guys and the Klits would get killed by Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Holmes, Etc.
