Put Mike Perez in front of them.
At this point you just can’t. The brothers reached their prime and proved to all of us that they deserve to be in the top 5 of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time next to Dempsey, Marciano and Jim Jeffries.
Easy. Take away their best weapons.
– Jab
– Size
– Ability to dictate pace
In almost every Klitschko victory they have hidden behind a huge reach advantage and behind their overrated jabs. They use their amazing size to keep away from danger (for Wlad to protect his chin) and the jab to score points.
They always dictate the fight to their pace, eventually wearing their opponents down and dropping the pace to slow jab contests. Just look at the Klitschko-Adamek fight, Vitali could have finished him off 4 or 5 rounds earlier than he did…but he stuck to his slow pace and stayed behind his jab.
I believe any decent pressure fighter, who could get close enough to make the jab useless (or be quick footed enough to dart in and out) as well as keeping a fast pace would beat them. Look at the Lewis fight. Vitali fought at a fast pace and got his face tore to pieces and was forced to quit. When Wlad fought Sanders and Corrie Sanders up’d the pace he KO’d Wlad in 2 rounds!!
I believe any decent pressure fighter with quick hands and feet, as well as the ability (stamina) to keep up a fast pace would beat them. Wlad could be KO’d late and Vitali would have to be beaten by decision.
