Hulk....dude, Wlad hits about as hard as Foreman....but there is a HUGE difference as to how they use that power. Foreman was a brawler and a slugger, Wlad is a boxer and has a more upright style.
Wlad-Frazier would have been interesting and I will say Frazier possessed everything needed to beat Wladimir, good chin (he got up from all of the knockdowns in the Foreman fight, and he had HUGE punching power, he also had great stamina and workrate)....Wlad could stay away from him though.
I respect the all-time greats but I also respect the skill of Wladimir Klitschko, inspite of what you think he's the best heavyweight out there today in a historically DECENT era....yeah it's DECENT it's not as bad as everyone says, Don King just keeps everyone from fighting each other
I have to respectfully disagree. It is a SHAT era, a SHAT era. Cooney woulda got Wladimir early IMO. I do not believe all that atomic bull said however. Tyson give all the money in his pocket to someone?!
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
