re: Is Vladimir Klitchko the greatest Heavyweight of all time?

People need to understand something though: The Klitschko brothers would have given ANY of those great heavyweights of the past serious problems. Fighters like Ali, Marciano, Louis, Foreman, Norton, Dempsey, etc. had nowhere near the size of Klitschko. He's 6'6 and with that jab, he would have been a real threat to any of those greats from the past.
Honestly, Vitali Klitschko > Wladimir Klitschko. Vitali had some madness in him plus he had a chin. Everyone knows Wlad has a glass jaw. He was even buzzed by a jab from a light hitting fighter last weekend. Had he not learned to fight the safe way from Emanuel Steward (who also trained Lennox Lewis), he'd still be getting flattened by mediocre boxers.
Btw, the "prime" 80s Tyson that fought tomato cans would have had his face beaten into ground meat by Vitali Klitschko. I'd give him a shot against Wlad though because the first time Mike would land a clean shot it would be all over.

Lennox in his prime? Would he contend with the all time greats?

Not the prime bro...
You are thinking of the post-prison washup that Lennox Lewis needed 9 rounds to beat...or Holyfield needed 8 in the first fight.
Larry Holmes was big tall dude with maybe the best jab in history and (yeah he was old) but Tyson got inside and got uppercuts and dropped him in 4 rounds.
If Tyson could get inside on Holmes, he could drop the K bros. Holmes was a better fighter than those Euro-trash.
