    Foreman more coordinated than Pulev? Foreman's punches were loaded more than any other boxers punches I have seen. He winged wild shots left and right until his opponent fell over. He had a decent jab to be sure but not as good as Pulev's.

    Pulev by comparison has much better coordinated all around skills than Foreman. If you seen Pulev's non-Wlad fights, you will understand.

    You can talk about Foreman's power and strength. But you cannot mention Foreman and THEN go on to talk about his boxing skills.

    Foreman did eventually learn how to box. But by then, it was the 90's!

      Chambersw, Byrd and Haye were not Cruiserweights.

      The opponents Foreman smacked out were mostly ACTUAL CW's. Byrd, Haye and Chambers were all well over 200lbs when they fought Wlaidmir.

      All 3 also have very good boxing records. They are anything but bums! Unlike again, the guys that Foreman flogged out.

        Wladimir is now the historical measuring stick for heavyweights. Everyone's favorite dinosaur holds an imaginary fantasy victory over Wladimir. Speaks for itself.

          I said he was more coordinated than the 90s version of himself. However, it's not a stretch to say he's more coordinated than pulev. The guy looks like he was being controlled on strings by a puppet master, unbelievably rigid.

            George Foreman was coordinated in the early half of his career?
            In comparison to Pulev.... ummm

            I don't see it, I really, really don't see it at all, maybe you never watched his earlier half of his career.
            We never got to see possibly the best of Foreman and that is a scary prospect because I think he is that damn good but to call him a controlled fighter in his early half of career is idiotic you've clearly not paid much attention to his fights.

            If George fought like he did in his younger days when came back into boxing he likely would have been laid out for it, I don't deny how good his chin is but he took defensive measurements to avoid unnecessary punishment and he found the correct balance of it.

              Foreman and Tyson were both wrong for Wlad. I am sure they would stop him but give Wlad credit for beating guy like Chambers and Byrd. Elroy will tell you they were harder punchers.

                Is 201lbs well over 200 lbs? Fat Eddie Chambers and Chris Byrd ate their way to CW. Haye put it on the weightroom.

                In your mind there's a big big difference between fighting at 197 and 201 apparently.

                Yeah Eddie Chambers would have been the king of all previous eras.

                Our favourite Dinosaur, Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster. Three great fighters.

                  Fact.
                  Blame the late Steward for that.

                    There's no doubt the iron chinned and supremely skilled "super-Ali's" Chambers and Byrd would KO George Foreman.

                      Lol, its good that we can mention Wlad in the same breath as those historical legends of the sport.
                      He is right up there with the very best and ill be interested to see how long he can keep his form up.
                      He is 37 or 38 yo and he is knocking out someone who has never been stopped that is very impressive, if he can share somewhat close to the same longevity as Bhop he will go down as one of the greatest to grace the division.
