better than Wlad, but not by a wide margin in my opinion. -
Only because Vitali seems to be better at dealing with the rough stuff, but it depends; Who hits harder, WLad or Vit???Originally posted by $Manny_P$Comment

I agree bad styles match up for wlad. foreman had great power and a good chin and I think he would stop wlad within 3 rounds but you do have to be a bit careful when comparing different eras. guys are just so much bigger and stronger these days. foreman was 6'3 218 lbs in his prime while wlad is 6'6 or 6'7 and 240+ lbs so you never know what could happen if he were to land on foremans chin early,,,,but like I said. bad styles matchup for wlad and foreman was just too tough insideOriginally posted by cobracoreComment

With out reading most of your post i know what most of you clows are saying.You are saying if Wlad got past 3 rounds he would knock Foreman out because Foreman had such poor stamina.Yep he sure did.Only tired in few of his 80 fights and Wlad has been tired alot more in his 40 or so fights.
Wlad has no chance in hell.Wlad would be knocked ****** by the Foreman who fought Shannon Briggs.Briggs is just as big as puncher than Wlad is if not a bigger one and neither one has a grade A chin.Briggs lost to a old Foreman so would Wlad.
Wlad would be stopped in less than 3 against any version of Foreman.Comment

And beez721 fighters in Foreman's era took boxing more serious.You didn't see fighters like Peter who is 6'1 and 260.A big lard of cow shyt.Foreman was about 6'4 230 when he was in his late 20's.He came in lighter when he was younger because he could and because everybody else was doing the same thing.
When Foreman came back and fought guys like Holyfield who fought Lewis,Bowe ect ect ect said Foreman was the strongest fighter he ever faced.The young Foreman would of been stronger.Nobody even mentions anything about Wlad's strength or power.Wlad's best wins in his career have come over the light punching Bryd.When he stepped up to fight Sanders a true heavyweight with power and skill he got his azz handed to him.And kid as i said Foreman faced bigger punchers than Wlad when he returned and was older.Briggs and Morrison were big punchers.Even a guy like Alex Stewart could ****.Neither were able to hurt Foreman.And i said this before.Doctors stated that the older you get the less fluid you have around your brain which in boxing terms mean if you get older the odds you can't take as big of a punch .
Foreman was never knocked down in his return to boxing.Wlad would have nothing to keep Foreman off him.Foreman's jab is better.Foreman actually went to the body while Wlad is a head hunter.Wlad fatigues big time in any fight when the other fighter puts pressure on.Wlad was stunned and hurt by weaker punchers than Foreman.I don't see anyway Wlad would beat Foreman.Infact i don't see anyway for Wlad to make it more than a few rounds.Wlad loses big time .Comment

lol,,,Im talking a prime foreman. the old foreman would not have beat wlad. sorry,,,the old foreman struggled with savareese and shulz. he just didnt have the speed in his punches at that age and moorer whom he stopped had a weak chin and was also standing right in front of him all nightOriginally posted by tommyhearns804Comment

Moorer has a glass chin?Are you kidding child?I would rather be stopped by Tua,Foreman and Holyfield than to be stopped by the guys who beat Wlad.Big Lou was a decent fighter.I am sure Foreman looked past him.And Lou Saverese has a better chin than Wlad.Alex Shultz is a slick boxer who ran from Foreman all night.Does Wlad run?No he isn't that quick so as i said a young Foreman could knock him out.
It is funny as hell when some moron comes in this room and says stuff like Moorer had a glass chin when he was stoppe by 2 Hall of Famers and another guy in Tua who is a huge puncher.Tyson was knocked out by Holyfield but none of you think he has a glass chin.Holyfield also caused Lewis to run like a woman.But some how Moorer is a glass chin because he was knocked out by Foreman and Holyfield kept knocking down Moorer but he kept getting up like a champion.A in his prime before he lost to Moorer would of knocked Wlad out.Wlad was almost knocked out by Williamson a guy who really does have a glass chin.When ever Wlad is hit he is hurt.
Most of the top Heavyweights in the world even right now could and would knock out Wlad if they landed anything.Wlad has a good offense but his chin and his lack of heart would get him killed by any version of Foreman.Comment

moorer had a suspect chin moron,,,,its been well documented and savareese and morrison's chin are even worst than wlads and they were not even near on his level. morrison dominated foreman as did shulz who was destroyed by wlad. those guys didnt run,,,they boxed and moved. the 40+ yr old foreman was not a big puncher at that age as savareese...briggs...morrison...and shulz can tell you. wlad would be much too quick and give the old foreman a beatingOriginally posted by tommyhearns804Comment

I wouldn't be so quick as to take either the old Foreman or the young Foreman in that matchup.
It could be either fighter within 3 rounds. You have to remember that the likes of Tommy Morrison outpointed George by hitting and moving away, much like Wlad did against Samuel Peter. He survived.
Samuel Peter reminds me of a young Foreman. Foreman was really an awkward fighter when he was young, he was very amateurish, just watch some clips. Muhammad called him the "mummy" for a reason.
When George was older, he was technically much better, but he was slow as molasses. Wlad is very quick for a big man. He has deceptively quick hands. Just ask Chris Byrd.
Young Foreman vs. Wlad would be a toss up for the first 3 rounds. After that, I give the nod to George because his stamina is better than Wlad's.
Actually, I believe that Wlad would unanimous decision an old George Foreman most of the time.
However, if old George gets one big right hand in, it's over at any time.Comment
