    His views on Wladimir’s punching power:
    “What makes him really special also is he has so much power in the late rounds. A lot of guys, great punchers like (Mike) Tyson, they were great in the early rounds but very seldom in the late rounds. Wladimir has knocked out guys like he did with Chris Byrd, and (Ray) Austin, and Eliseo Castillo—he knocked those guys out early because he threw a punch early, an early power punch. And then he’s had the power to go out after being down three times with Sam Peter and he had him out on his feet in the twelfth round of a very grueling fight with one single punch, a left hook. Then he knocked out Thompson. With Tony Thompson he ran across the ring and threw one straight right hand in the eleventh round and just walked away, and Thompson went down totally finished. Now he knocks out this guy in the twelfth round with ten or twelve seconds left with one punch. To have a fighter that has that kind of devastating one punch clean knockout power is so much stress on the opponent because you’re never safe.”

        I think only George had the power to do it.
        frazier at his best was only slightly over 200 lbs so I think wlad could knock him around pretty badly,,,espescially if he threw the uppercut which he doesnt.

          I'm not convinced about that. Remember how tall wlad is? He has more chance of knocking him down, than up.

            I think its hard to tell because of the way Wlad fights. Hes more up in his toes and not fully entending on most of his where where Foreman tried to kill you with every punch he threw. You'd have to lean towards George obviously, but if Wlad went out there with the intent to KO someone it may seem a lot closer.

              Wladimir is a brutal puncher, but Foreman hit harder than anyone. Ever.
