Ok so JDS has a BJJ black belt but likes keeping a fight on the feet. Doesn't throw a huge amount of kicks and is on record re Klitschko saying "I could beat that guy, man," dos Santos said. "Maybe not easy, but I could knock him out." (full article below)
MMA fight, Dos Santos would win.
Boxing match, Klitschko would win.
Pretty much this....
Although I will say that I think a Boxing match between the two would be a lot more exciting than the MMA match up. I mean, at this point we've all seen the Toney vs Couture fight, right?
"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"
Psalms 144:1
Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

It's the type of fight where the build up to it would be exciting, but the actual fight would be a lopsided beating.
In MMA, JDS would take him down and gnp him. 1st round tko or sub. Unless he's too stubborn to not box, but I think with so much on the line he'll be smart and go for the takedown
In Boxing, JDS wouldn't make it past the 3rd round. I'm a huge fan of Junior, but Wlad would beat the chit out of him.

Don't get me wrong...I don't think a boxing match would be truly competitive, but more so than Wlad being taken to the ground and pounded out in before the end of the first round.
But you're exactly right, hype would be the biggest part of both events, without question.

I think he's too slow for either Klitschko and gets knocked out. He was getting flustered by Spong's jab, Wlad would do the same imo.
I'm not saying he can't win, but I think either Klitschko knocks him out.
I agree. He's way too slow and plodding when he trys to close the distance or attempt a clinch. He would most like get KOed, which is exactly what JDS is going to do him. Overeem is going to go to sleep from a nasty uppercut.
klitschko is a really smart technical boxer but outside his height isn't that gifted athletically so would lose in a striking match and easily in a mma match. Give someone like klitschko some really good wrestling and he would never lose in the hw division he would decision everyone with his jab skills alone. Sylvia who is pretty tall and had atrocious everything was able to be pretty damn dominant based on his stupid height alone.

You mean he had trouble in one area one time with a fighter whom he beat IN THAT FIGHT handily? Yep, he doesn't stand a chance, then.

Lol, k.
Never said he doesn't stand a chance, he obviously does. The Reem slipped my mind before.
But yeah, I think he's too slow for Wlad and will probably get outpointed in a 3 round kickboxing match, probably caught and knocked out if it's a longer fight. I think Overeem is great, btw.

The klitschkos were more US style kickboxers werent they? Meaning no kicks below the waist type style. I cant imagine them being able to take too many kicks from Reem, never mind the UBERKNEE.
I'd like to see them(JDS vs any Klitchko) in a boxing fight with MMA-gloves. Turns into a diffrent sport just by that alteration, to JDS advantage ofcourse.(not necessarily enough of an alteration to make him the favourite)
In a kick-boxing match I dont think much would change since JDS doesnt kick much. Anything more MMA-like than that and JDS would be the favourite.
Overeem would be a clear favourite in a kickboxing-match vs the Klitchkos, just a leg or body kick or uberknee, and Klitchkos would be apprehensive to fight like they would in boxing. (imo)
