could go either wayagainst an old foreman, wlad by ud ore big george by ko.
young george storms out and clubs wlad down, i dont see wlad being able to hold the beast called foreman
I wouldn't be so quick as to take either the old Foreman or the young Foreman in that matchup.
It could be either fighter within 3 rounds. You have to remember that the likes of Tommy Morrison outpointed George by hitting and moving away, much like Wlad did against Samuel Peter. He survived.
Samuel Peter reminds me of a young Foreman. Foreman was really an awkward fighter when he was young, he was very amateurish, just watch some clips. Muhammad called him the "mummy" for a reason.
When George was older, he was technically much better, but he was slow as molasses. Wlad is very quick for a big man. He has deceptively quick hands. Just ask Chris Byrd.
Young Foreman vs. Wlad would be a toss up for the first 3 rounds. After that, I give the nod to George because his stamina is better than Wlad's.
Actually, I believe that Wlad would unanimous decision an old George Foreman most of the time.
However, if old George gets one big right hand in, it's over at any time.
I agree with the prime foreman analysis but I dont think wlad would have survived a young foreman. the old foreman was smarter but just much too slow for wlad. if he couldnt knockout morrison or savareese he sure as hell wouldnt have beaten wlad
I honestly don't know if there could ever be a worse opponent for Wladimir Klitschko. George Foreman is easily the strongest heavyweight champion ever. He had one punch power and a granite chin. Both of these guys have stamina problems, but Klitschko's stamina seems to be concurrent with the pressure that a fighter puts on him. I think it would take alot of holding to survive Foreman, but if he somehow got through it, he would be dead tired and his legs would just give out from the mental stress. I honestly cant imagine Klitschko surviving.
with a prime foreman I agree

hmm, the foreman that destroyed the legendary joe frazier vs the wlad who KOd one of the worst HW champions in history (byrd).
gee, i dont really know. :rolleyes:

Moorer has a glass chin?Are you kidding child?I would rather be stopped by Tua,Foreman and Holyfield than to be stopped by the guys who beat Wlad.Big Lou was a decent fighter.I am sure Foreman looked past him.And Lou Saverese has a better chin than Wlad.Alex Shultz is a slick boxer who ran from Foreman all night.Does Wlad run?No he isn't that quick so as i said a young Foreman could knock him out.
It is funny as hell when some moron comes in this room and says stuff like Moorer had a glass chin when he was stoppe by 2 Hall of Famers and another guy in Tua who is a huge puncher.Tyson was knocked out by Holyfield but none of you think he has a glass chin.Holyfield also caused Lewis to run like a woman.But some how Moorer is a glass chin because he was knocked out by Foreman and Holyfield kept knocking down Moorer but he kept getting up like a champion.A in his prime before he lost to Moorer would of knocked Wlad out.Wlad was almost knocked out by Williamson a guy who really does have a glass chin.When ever Wlad is hit he is hurt.
Most of the top Heavyweights in the world even right now could and would knock out Wlad if they landed anything.Wlad has a good offense but his chin and his lack of heart would get him killed by any version of Foreman.
moorer had a suspect chin moron,,,,its been well documented and savareese and morrison's chin are even worst than wlads and they were not even near on his level. morrison dominated foreman as did shulz who was destroyed by wlad. those guys didnt run,,,they boxed and moved. the 40+ yr old foreman was not a big puncher at that age as savareese...briggs...morrison...and shulz can tell you. wlad would be much too quick and give the old foreman a beating
With out reading most of your post i know what most of you clows are saying.You are saying if Wlad got past 3 rounds he would knock Foreman out because Foreman had such poor stamina.Yep he sure did.Only tired in few of his 80 fights and Wlad has been tired alot more in his 40 or so fights.
Wlad has no chance in hell.Wlad would be knocked stupid by the Foreman who fought Shannon Briggs.Briggs is just as big as puncher than Wlad is if not a bigger one and neither one has a grade A chin.Briggs lost to a old Foreman so would Wlad.
Wlad would be stopped in less than 3 against any version of Foreman.
lol,,,Im talking a prime foreman. the old foreman would not have beat wlad. sorry,,,the old foreman struggled with savareese and shulz. he just didnt have the speed in his punches at that age and moorer whom he stopped had a weak chin and was also standing right in front of him all night
The worse fight in the goddamn world for Wlad.
This is how the fight would go.
'Touch Gloves'. The fighters touch gloves.
They come out of their corners. Wlad jabs, Foreman takes it. Wlad jabs again. Foreman throws a left followed by a right. The clubbing right connects, and Wlad is DOWN. 10. 9. 8. His eyes are rolled back! THE FIGHT IS OVER. FOREMAN TAKES IT IN 5 SECONDS.
Something like that. I like Wlad, he's a good fighter, he may even be great, but in terms of historical matchups, this is probably one of the worst.
I agree bad styles match up for wlad. foreman had great power and a good chin and I think he would stop wlad within 3 rounds but you do have to be a bit careful when comparing different eras. guys are just so much bigger and stronger these days. foreman was 6'3 218 lbs in his prime while wlad is 6'6 or 6'7 and 240+ lbs so you never know what could happen if he were to land on foremans chin early,,,,but like I said. bad styles matchup for wlad and foreman was just too tough inside
I agree completely. I think Vitali could have a chance out there, his chin was rock hard and he packed some good power.
better than Wlad, but not by a wide margin in my opinion.
Im not arguing that Foreman would lose. With that power he could've beaten almost anyone. If youre chin wasnt solid- good night. I dont think Wlads chin is as weak as everyone says but it aint strong . Definitely wouldnt hold up againt Big George. I think he would've KOd Lewis too. He would destroy the slow Valuev, knock Rahman into next week, and would punish Sergei for a few rounds until the ref stops the fight.

This post seriously contradicts past posts of yours about him. Maybe you've changed your mind about him within the past several months that I've been on but you've hated on him.
Wlad is OK, but his chin will always be the key for him losing. As long as he chooses the right fighters he can win surely. I see a James Toney fight being a close 12 Round fight (Toney is hard to hit and has a good chin even at this division), that I wouldn't bet real money on. Wlad is a real threat, but no one in the division really stands out. Prime Goerge Foremanw would beat everybody in the division right now, Wlad more brutally because of his chin.
I don't hate. I place truth on the table. Wlad is a cool fighter that could possibly rule the division right now considering the lack of consistency in this division. Everybody loses.
I don't think I'll run out of topics. Wladimir Clinchko is a fun character. And so are his fans that suppport him.
all the hate and jealousy surrounding the klits never ceases to amaze me
Wlad crawls on the canvass, Vitali steps in and challenges Foreman to a "REMATCH"....
and he yells "Noooooooh, Noooooooh, Nooooooh" ala Lewis aftermath, :D!
Manny, what are you going to do when you REALLY run out of topics about Wlad? Your life will feel empty, huh?
