This thread is another example for the delusion that boxers of the 70ies were superhuman.
Now, let's get back to reality with some "Wake up, childhood is over"-facts:
Foreman's weight in the 70ies was median 217lbs.
Basically like Chris Byrd or Eliseo Castillo. Foreman is 6'3.5''.
217lbs + 6'3.5'' = Wlad's average opponents, except that Foreman was 10-20 lbs lighter than Wlad's median opponent (234lbs).
STOP DELUDING YOURSELF.
In the whole 70ies Foreman fought only 4 heavies who were 6'4''+.
All 4 were bums with a median record of 24-30! One of those bums he couldn't even KO (Roberto Davila, 27-29, 8 KO losses, 6'4'').
In the whole 70ies Foreman fought only 5 heavies who were 225+ lbs. All 5 were bums with a COMBINED RECORD OF 52-42!
Boy, you gotta lot of faith if you think that someone like Foreman who cannot KO a featherfisty chinny bum like Davila could KO prime Wladimir Klitschko.
On the other hand Wlad has a better KOratio than Foreman and Foreman has not seen anyone as tall, heavy and hard hitting as Wlad.
The fight would be probably somewhat competitive (because I consider Foreman the best of the 70ies boxers), Foreman would survive a few rounds against Wlad before Foreman lands on the floor.
Listen we are talking about a boxing match, if it was however weight watchers the Klit Brothers would kick ass for sure.
Having duped myself into watching the "fight" the other night, a few things leapt out at me:
1) How on earth could someone as limited as Chaguev ever win a title and never be knocked down before? To then hear someone say that Ustinov looked impressive really put it all into perspective.
2) Wlad is an efficient fighter with a good (not great) jab. He is in a woefully weak era as proven by Chaguev but carries out his work efficiently.
3) There are self fulfilling prophesies. The division is weak and so fighters can remain undefeated. Then when someone better than them beats this "undefeated" fighter it is trumpeted way beyond its reality.
4) Wlad has a style that is best watched via BoxingRec, where you can look at his weight the other guys weight, compare records etc. To actually watch him is painful.
To try and inflate the skills and records of the Klitschko brothers by denigrating proven atg fighters from the past only leaves that poster open to ridicule and causes ill feeling to the Klitschko brothers. The Klitschko brothers have reigned efficiently and with dignity the fact that they are scorned on this site by many is not the fault of them but the fault of their fans.Comment

Some may enjoy this joke:
Redneck Logic
Two rednecks decided that they weren't going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead.
The first goes in to see the counselor, who tells him to take Math, History, and Logic.
"What's Logic?" the first redneck asks. The professor answers by saying, "Let me give you an example. Do you own a weed eater?" "I sure do."
"Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard," replied the professor.
"That's real good!" says the redneck. The professor continues, "Logic will also tell me that since you have a yard, you also own a house." Impressed, the redneck says, "Amazin!" "And since you own a house, logic dictates that you have a wife." "That's Betty Mae! This is incredible!" The redneck is obviously catching on. "Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual," said the professor. "You're absolutely right! Why that's the most fascinatin' thing I ever heard! I cain't wait to take that logic class!!"
The redneck, proud of the new world opening up to him, walks back into the hallway, where his friend is still waiting.
"So what classes are ya takin' ?" asks the friend. "Math, History, and Logic!" replies the first redneck. "What in tarnation is logic???" asked his friend. "Let me give you an example.
Do ya own a weed eater?" asked the first redneck.
"No," his friend replied.
"You're *****, ain't ya?"Comment
