It's a toss up for me.. I could see Wlad outjabbing and beating Foreman to a decision, but one right hand could end it. To say that Foreman would destroy Wlad is absurd...Wlad beats late 80's to early 90's Foreman, but prime, 70's foreman would be a good fight.
the 90s heavyweights completely obliterate todays.... i cant believe your comparing the two
Well, in reference. Briggs beat Foreman , who was able to still win a title in the 90's , but then a better version of Briggs with less endurance goes on to lose to Ibragimov very convincingly, who in turn gets blown out by Wlad. In comparison, the two era's don't seem to be as far apart as one would think. There's just a lack of American talent. I don't see anyone on Lennox's resume' that Wlad could not beat at the times Lewis did.
Just my opinion and by the looks of the poll, a few other agree as well.

A 48 year old Foreman was robbed against Shannon Briggs. Briggs was in no way any better when he lost to Ibragimov.
What's with all the **** ****? Maybe the mods can make a gay boxing chat or somethin'?
For the record : I think a prime Foreman KO's Wlad in an exciting fight and wins a close decision against Vitali. Everybody else currently fighting heavyweight gets a beatdown more or less like Frasier did.
You have to realize, the poll meant "how would he fare if he came back in 2009 instead of 1987". Maybe I should have been a little more clear, but it is not rocket science to understand the question.
Maybe a prime Foreman would have dominated this era, but I don't think the comebacking one from the 80's could beat Wlad or Vitali. He was too stationary to have a chance.
