20 yo Foreman would utterly dominate HW division today

[Dan...]

What do you mean by that?

They win?

Please elaborate.

They could win, they could lose. Foreman was a great fighter, just like the Klitschkos. As I said, I think I would prefer putting Vitali in this match-up over Wladimir.

Reasonably said. I replied too quickly.

I really do think that Vlad just isn't durable enough.

Prime Vitali was tough and smart. I think prime George was waaaaay faster with equal or better power(I rate Vitali's power very high) so I'd bet on Big George, but it is one of the best fantasy matchups that can be made, imo.

yo i just watched some highlights of a young foreman and i highly seriously doubt any of todays heavyweights would even step into the ring with him. ive seen vitali litterally run away in a ring, and wlads backing up jab slapping away punches might get him killed.

Prime Vitali would smoke George. Wlad, not so much.

We're in agreement regarding Vlad, methinks. Nuff' said.

But VM 'smokes' GF? How? I'm a fan of Vitali. Go and look at prior posts of mine to confirm if you are so moved. But (seriously) how?

Which performance of prime Vitali's indicates to you that he would 'smoke' prime Big George?

Why do you have to get so defensive when an idiot like the topic creator makes this topic? Its obvious that a Klitschko/Foreman fight could go either way. Only biased people with hate in their heart give the Klitschkos 0 chance. Foreman is a great fighter, and there's no need to call him dumb because the topic creator is a dumb ****.

I'm sick and tired of these idiotic Klitschko haters.

Foreman was one dimensional and sometimes he fought ******.

I think Foreman gets outsmarted and outboxed by either Klitschko.

how they going to outsmart George? ali was able to do it because of his foot speed, i know the Klits like to run but they cant dance like ali. theyd be forced to fight and george would take their heads off. Vitali would give a fight because he has a chin and heart, but he wouldnt be rocking george like he did an out of shape lennox. Vitali-George would be a gruesome classic, but i could see it ending like the lennox fight minus the controversy

Emanuel Steward: I could not train a man to beat Wladimir Klitschko

Steward. “Wladimir is gonna be the one I don’t think I could train a man to beat the way he is. I’m serious. I’ve never had a fighter – I went from Holyfield and all the guys I’ve worked with, never, Lennox – Wladimir is a very, very committed, very difficult fighter to beat. Because he won’t let you fight him. He makes you fight what he wants you to fight. But the biggest thing which I think people are not looking at is his speed for a big man. Tremendous speed. Foot Speed. He can move in, explode, move out, move back in, explode, and I’ve never seen anyone that could…move in and out and be in perfect balance,”
