Even though the Klits are fighting in a bum era they are still dominating in impressive fashion and for that they will and deserve credit but to try to place them as two of the best HWs ever, naaaawwww!!

They're just the best of this generation after Lennox, Tyson, Foreman and old Holyfield left/got shot, I don't think they would've beaten the likes of Frazier, Ali, Holmes, Tyson and a few others in their primes.

Well don't they have like the highest KO ratio's per fight as compared to anyone who ever laced em up?

Yes they do, but that is against people who either should not have been in the ring with them (under 20 wins)...or cruiserweights who moved up.
The fact is their competition has sucked.
To say they would have dominated any era, what is that based on? What A+ fighter have they fought and beaten? The fact is Wlad has lost to B level competition on more than one occasion, and this was when he was pretty much in his prime.
I know they use their size advantage and everything, but to think that someone like frazier, foreman, tyson,etc wouldnt have gotten around that is crazy IMO. Wlad would have melted like a popsicle on a hot summer day if he fought tyson. Vitali would have held up better but i cannot see either one of them lasting in a Great HW division.
If you drop these two brothers in the 60's, 70's HW division I do not think they would have even come close to dominating, they would have been dominated.
Their compeition speaks for itself. The very first time I watched Wlad fight was when he fought Charles Shufford. Holy Shit...During the damn introduction Charles knees were shaking, I was afraid he was gonna shit himself on the spot.

do they? i never watch long enough to see the ko. i usually fall asleep around the 4th or 5th round. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Funny... These guys fight like the giants they are. they deftly use their size and reach advantages to dominate their opponents. If they fought small and allowed themselves to be hit, then they run the risk of being exciting. Ask Paul Williams how that style worked out for him against Martinez the 2nd time around. These guys fight the way many of us wish paul Williams would have fought and they are criticized for it. These guys dominate any era of heavyweight fighting in my opinion. Sure they went through growing pains and got a few ugly losses, but once they each hit their prime and understood their advantages, they dominated EVERYONE.

i agree...i think they undoubtedly beat any namebrand champions of pre-90s. if they fought any other way they'd get knocked out; they know exactly how to use their reach and height to prevent being overwhelmed by an aggressive opponent. then they just pick em apart slowly. klitschkos don't like a fast pace - probably why they don't have a large following
