    Terrible post.
    Yeah. Sure. Tyson was a beast. 6 losses. Joke.

    I guess Ali was a joke with 5 losses and Larry Holmes was a joke with 6 losses.

    You mention Foremans lack of footwork but it was his ability to cut off the ring against Ali which forced the latter to employ his rope-lying tactics. Wlad hasnt the smarts to beat a 24yr old foreman. A 44yr old Foreman maybe over 12 rounds and he'd have to be cautious at that

    The problem with a Young Foreman is that he would swing for the fences and wildly too, and more often than not he'd connect...if Wlad was able to establish the jab and work behind it without getting tired I see no problem vs Young Foreman.

    I see 0 problem vs Old Foreman, the guys who had trouble vs him were the guys trying to stop him, that may have fooled a 25 year old Wladimir but not a 30 year old Wladimir. If Shannon freakin Briggs can last the distance vs him then so could Wladimir.....Shannon did lose that fight though.

    A 1972/73 Foreman would have a field day with today's Heavyweights, Liston would have a party with these clowns posing as Heavyweight champions.

    Foreman probably would have got to Wlad in the later rounds and behind on points as Wlad tires and wilts.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
