How would Wlad fair against......

[walrus]

I can't see him beating Foreman in his prime. Perhaps if he did a dope arope and tired Foreman out but I don't think he could withstand it like Ali did.

Few could.

Really, only one could.

True, Ali took some bombs that day, could Wlad?

[Mark TKO]

Frazier and Holyfield only ones I see having trouble with him.

Joe would have to win by one punch KO but I can see him landing similar to how he did to floor Ali

I think Frank Bruno could also beat Klitschko by early KO

I don't think he would have to.

Foreman couldn't win the battle of the jabs with him and Foreman would have been kept more honest against Wlad because Wlad could have knocked him out at any time with either hand, unlike Ali.

Foreman has never been knocked out except for Ali and that was more because he was exhausted. George chin has been very durable.

[smashup]

Prime Tyson would have absolutely fucked Wlad up in the first round, Wlads style was tailor made for him and he'd have just slipped inside and it'd be all over pretty quick.

[tysonesque]

He would lose to all of them.

I don't see him getting past two or three rounds with the likes of Foreman and Tyson.

[Spicoli]

Off the top I think Holyfield would have a helluva chance to score the tko. Side to side and jarring combination punching as long as he doesn't stand on the end of the jab and rips off inside hooks when Wlad falls in to hug and maul it out first. Think he'd have Wlads feet, balance crossed over often and take advantage.

He had a great chin for sure, but it wasn't infallible. Lyle had him on the deck flopping around like a fish, of course. Ray Mercer had maybe the best chin in HW history and Wlad rocked, dropped and finished him fairly easily.

Has a lot to do with the speed and accuracy that Wlad throws his punches. Wlad is a different kind of athlete than those guys, it's just a different time.

Mercer was old, you know how He took the bombs of Morrison and Lewis in his prime.

You have some logic there. Foreman often said during his second coming that he attributed his success to his jab. He said he really didn't spend much time developing his jab in his young days and it was his biggest regret. Still, all in all I don't see Wlad beating a prime George.

[Beanflicker]

I think Foreman was just too wild, and never really had to fight a good boxer/puncher in his early career. Frazier was an inside guy, Norton had a great jab but wasn't great defensively. Ron Lyle was solid but would never be confused with a ring general. And of course Foreman got KO'd by Ali.

It's a big difference in athleticism and sport science as well, Foreman was fighting guys 5'9''-6'3'', 199-220lbs. None of those guys could really compare to a 6'6'', 245lb super athlete with world class boxing skills like Wlad. It's apples and oranges.

If you really look at it, Wlad has fought fighters more comparable to Foreman than Foreman has fought comparable to Wlad.

Watching the fight against pulev, it showed me how foreman would have destroyed wlad. Pulev was the first guy in forever that wasn't scared of wlad. He just was outclassed. Wlad took some good shots from pulev. Those same shots from foreman would have changed the fight. Plus, I'm sure that foreman had a better chin than pulev. I think the fight would look similar but once foreman landed, it would be lights out for wlad.
