There isn't anyone out there right now who, at first glance, has much of a chance of beating Klitschko. Of course, in the Heavyweight division, anyone can walk into a bomb and become a KO victim. But all things being equal, the better fighter usually wins - even if the opponent has a troubling style.
Also, with Manny Steward in the corner, Klitschko has the advantage of bringing a "made to order" strategy into the ring against each opponent. A good trainer can go a long way towards preparing a fighter to exploit the weaknesses in his opponent.
Eventually, though, if the right opponent doesn't catch up to a champion, time does. There are only so many fights in a fighter and then the end comes. That's what makes watching older fighters so interesting. It's like watching the old gunfighters in Western movies. Sooner or later, someone who's just a little bit faster comes along... and that's all it takes.
