    ...that boxer would be an all time great dominant heavyweight and sure Hall of Famer.

    Imagine Wlad with his brother's chin and overall durability, and imagine Vitaly with Wlad's boxing skills and one-punch KO power, that would make for one scary heavyweight.

    Agree or disagree?

    Agree.

    Wlad with Vitali's chin and durability...would be virtually invincible.

    Vitaly has a good chin but he's not that durable since a little shoulder pain made him quit :)

    That was not lack of durabilty, that was lack of heart.

    Imagine if Valuev and Tyson were fused into one boxer. Valuev's size and strength mixed with Tyson's bobbing/weaving and murderous intentions.

    Valuev?

    You and your freak giants like Andre.

    You must be a fan of gigantism.

    Here's another one for you:

    Hey, I really like the guy, I think he's a damn solid fighter, too bad he's surrounded by mediocrity in the heavyweight division, that will hurt his legacy.

    Let's see.....a mix of Vitaly awkwardness and lack of one-punch power combined with Wlad's glass chin.......hmmm......

    It'll hurt his rep with Joe Average Internet Boxing Fan, but those guys with a vote will be putting it on Wlad. I'd almost be certain of it.

    There are very few heavyweight champions NOT in the HOF and they're the scrubs who played frisbee with it during the last couple of decades. Every decent heavy who asserted himself, has made it in. Wlad follows on from Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson and Holmes, IMO. There's tended to be a semi-dominant champ every few years...and its Wlad who's made it onto that list now, IMO.

    Plu, he and Vitali will have that "Brothers who were heavyweight champs" history helping them as well.

    12 round boring jab off, and the loser will demand a rematch with himself to defend his brother honor, and jab himself to a boring decision

    Could you load up your hardest right hand and try to decapitate your own brother with the intention of killing him? :dunno: The same brother whom you loved and protected and have a very strong relationship with throughout your life?

    Just Give Wlad his Brother's CHIN & he'd B a LEGITIMATE Threat to Marciano's Undefeated Streak...

    AND a VERY TOUGH Mythical Matchup for ANY Heavyweight who EVER Lived...

    So since i don't think Ali hit hard enough to stop wlad then the chin doesn't come into play so is wlad a very tough matchup for prime ali?

    REED Doubts it...

    Wlad IS BETTER than Vitali,but there's just SOMETHING about Being the "Little,Younger Brother"...

    REED Knows Guys who R the OLDER Siblings w/Brothers who R LARGER Men & VASTLY SUPERIOR Athletes,but when it Comes Down to FIGHTING,the Little Brothers have the MENTAL Block of KNOWING they were Always INFERIOR to "Big Brother",Growing Up...

    Until U Actually WHIP your Older Siblings Ass,that Mental Block is DIFFICULT to Overcome...

    Considering there's a 4-5 Year Age Difference btwn Wlad & Vitali,Wlad was NEVER even Remotely Competitive w/Vitali UNTIL they were Adults...REED Doesn't Think Wlad could Overcome 20+ Years of Presumed INFERIORITY to Beat his Older Brother...

    If Ali could KO George Foreman,he Could KO Wlad...

    Wlad's a Tough Matchup SURE,but there IS the Potential that Ali could KO Him...

    I don't think Ali had an answer to someone with the size plus athleticism plus power of wladimir. If took 2 power hitters to put down and beat him. I don't see anyone beating wlad via 12 round Decision. You either knock him out, get knocked out or last the distance and lose.

    How do you think Tyson in his prime would try to solve today's Wladimir Klitschko? How would Tyson get inside and attempt to fight out of Wlad's clinch? There would be a tremendous size and weight differential obviously.

    Though their Prime WEIGHTS were Vastly Different,Ali's HEIGHT & REACH were Comparable to Wlad's...

    Ali was a FULL 6'3 w/MORE than an 80inch Reach,if REED's Not Mistaken...Wlad is VERY Athletic "For a BIG Man",but PRIME Ali was VERY Athletic PERIOD...To this Day,NO TRUE Heavyweight has Combined the Athletic Prowess & GRACE that Ali had...

    His HANDSPEED,FOOTSPEED & FOOTWORK would B Very Difficult for Wlad to Deal w/...Wlad Does his Most Effective Work w/his Feet PLANTED,whether it B Jabbing or Landing Power Shots...Ali can Fight Effectively Flat-Footed OR On his Toes...

    As Such,PRIME Ali would Keep Wlad Off Balance,Sticking,Moving & TURNING Wlad All Fight Loooooooooong...It DOESN'T Take a Great Deal of Punishment to Mark Wlad's Face Up & After 8-10 Rounds of Absorbing Ali's JABS & Combo's,Wlad would B a Bruised Up Mess...

    It would Take Ali 3-4 Rounds to Get Acclimated w/Wlad,No Doubt...But by the 10th-11th,he'd B N Full Control...If they Go 12,Ali Wins an 8-4,7-5 Decision...If they Go 15,Ali STOPS Wlad N about the 13th or 14th...

    Tyson is MORE USED to Fighting TALL Guys than Wlad is Used to Fighting SHORT Guys...Tyson would B 1 of the SHORTER Guys Wlad has Ever Fought...

    Prime Tyson would Bob & Weave even MORE than Usual & Look to Work the Body from the Perimeter...1nce he Got INSIDE,he'd Go to the Head...

    PRIME Tyson was Absolute HELL Early...Wlad would ONLY Have a Chance if he Got PAST the 4th Round...If Wlad did that,there's a GOOD Chance Tyson would Get Discouraged & Wlad would win a Decision...

    REED Sees NO WAY Tyson could Beat Wlad by Decision...It's KO or Bust for Tyson...
