    1973 Foreman would terrify Wlad with his reputation and punching power (strategically, not personally, as Wlad is as courageous in the ring as the next guy)

    Wlad won all his fights by controlling distance, dominating the centre of the ring with his excellent jab and then closing the show with his big right.

    I think he wouldn't be able to dominate the centre of the ring against 1973 Foreman. Big George would come out like a proverbial train and Wlad would be in full retreat. Once Foreman has you intimidated in the ropes, and it's him who is initiating the engagements ..... Boom.

    This might get interesting if it went past the seventh round. But there is no way that this does.

    Quick, devastating knockout by Foreman ten times out of ten.

    no, I disagree.

    Wlad controlled distance really well. He used his excellent jab when he was in perfect range for it, and his opponent wasn't. He closed with the big right, or sometimes the left hook, when his opponent had been manoeuvred into place for it.

    He didn't like fighting on the inside, andhe didn't let his opponents throw punches when they were in perfect range for it. He got around this by holding them excessively.

    I agree he held a lot, but he did it as part of his strategy of controlling distance.

    IMO, anyway.

    Tyson would have not allowed that to happen. therefore it is up to the opponents to work out a way to beat that style. That was something they could not do for 10 years and near record defenses.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
