Re: Wlad Klitschko Versus
Wlad definitely beats Tubbs.
I'd favor him over Bruno & Williams maybe 70/30
Smith is a pick em.
Thomas, Tucker & Ruddock I favor 60/40

Re: Wlad Klitschko Versus
A big thing to remember is all of these guys save maybe Tubbs would be Wlad's toughest opponent to date. They also all (besides Ruddock) have good left jabs . . and Wlad has yet to fight a fighter not in their 40s with a decent jab. A washed up old Mercer swelled up Wlad's eyes with his jab, and Haye even marked up Wlad with the few jabs he threw and landed. Vs someone like Thomas Wlad's face would get messy in a hurry.
He loses to Thomas, Tucker, and Smith.
I make Bruno a slight favorite. If Bruno lands some of the shots on Wlad he landed on Lennox, Wlad's in serious trouble. Wlad also won't be able to bully Bruno in the clinch, who was freakishly strong and who would rabbit punch Wlad into oblivion if he tried the Grabimir Clinchko strategy.
Ruddock and Williams are fairly even but I make Wlad the slight favorite. Williams has the movement, great left jab, and enough power to hurt Klitschko but his chin was as bad as Wlad's as well. Ruddock's speed and power would freak Wlad out but Razor fought so unintelligently in the ring and had poor stamina; if Klitschko can survive the first 3 rounds the fight is his.
I'd favor him over the light-hitting Tubbs. That would rival Wlad's fights vs Ibragimov, Povetkin and Haye in sheer awfulness.

Re: Wlad Klitschko Versus
Williams was chinny too with less power. Wlad wins easily.
Tubbs would just be a routine win.
Bruno, Ruddock and Smith have punchers chances. Would win maybe 1 in 5...Wlad takes the rest.
Pinklon Thomas was a good boxer but he was a left handed fighter with only an average right hand. I think styles are against Pinky...and he would also likely to be unfocused. I can only see Wlad winning. Just a bad fight for Thomas.
Tucker would be his hardest fight...
