I don't see how you can call either Klitschko brother a bum now. Wladimir is day and night better than he was a few years ago. Ever since Emanuel Steward started training him he has become a machine that calmly picks his opponent apart with his jab while taking little to no punishment in return. Vitali has come back from a long layoff and is looking as dominant as ever.
Tyson hardly looked like a world beater when he fought faded tall, long fighters like Mitch Green, Bonecrusher Smith, and Tony Tucker, and that was when he was supposed to be this unstoppable monster. None of those three fighters were able to test Tyson's chin, but all three were able to keep him from getting inside and frustrated him. Now imagine Wladimir making Tyson eat jab after jab, followed by that powerful left hook of his. Or Vitali and his clubbing jabs and right hand. I have a very hard time seeing even a prime Tyson getting inside against either of these robots...
