Joe's left hook would be a non-factor because Wlad would wrap him up when he got close enough to use it and begin throwing that mean straight right after the first couple rounds. It would be a repeat of what Foreman did to him.
You are forgetting Joe Frazier is a much better quality "little" man than anyone Wlad has fought and grabbing and holding someone of Fraziers quality would be much harder than you are making it out to be! Frazier fought in the Golden era of HW's and only lost to 2 men and 1 was the G.O.A.T. the other was the most devastating puncher in the history of the sport.
And I think Wlad hits harder than Foreman and was more athletic. Lamon Brewster was a high quality 'little' man and there was no reason for him to win their first fight. He had to go through a hell most fighters couldn't have.

George Foreman hits much harder than Wladimir Klitschko. And since when has Lamon Brewster been a high quality little man ?

I like Lamon Brewster and defended him in the last thread, but he was not elite. He got beat convincingly in his prime to Clifford Eitenne, Charles Shufford.

Yes he held a title and made a few defences, but even so i don't think anyone would ever label Lamon Brewster an elite fighter. Infact he's an overachiever that he actually managed to win a belt, and defend it a few times.

And that the fact he beat Wladimir Klitschko, speaks volumes IMO. And when the rematch happened Lamon Brewster was a shell of his former self.
