Would these fighters be champs today?

[The_Demon]

No they wouldnt.

The likes of Rahman, Gomez and Chagaev have all failed to beat the Klits dont see them being able to do it.

Oh dear

[XionComrade]

No they wouldnt.

The likes of Rahman, Gomez and Chagaev have all failed to beat the Klits dont see them being able to do it.

Rahman - Heavyweight with phenomenally terrible speed and above average power
Earnie Shavers - Heavyweight with the hardest punch in history, said to hit 4x harder than your average contender. Good combinations, good hand speed, descent chin, tremendous heart and good stamina(In his best fights)

Gomez Vs. Chuvalo

Gomez - Heavyweight with below average power and a padded record
Chuvalo - Highly regarded as having the best chin in history. Average power, good stamina, and overall a very well rounded brawler.

The case can be made for the Klitschko's beating the great contenders, not their horrible horrible opposition.
