Just from a matchup POV, I could see Tony Thompson giving Ol' George a good fight if he used his reach. He showed pretty good chin against Wlad, until Wlad finally caught him, but Wlad moves better than old George and is probably a little busier. I could see this one going to the cards.
Wlad probably has the toolkit to beat the old Foreman if he fought a boring fight and just used his reach to jab him all night, but if he made one mistake it would be curtains.
George did lose pretty clearly to Tommy Morrison who is good but not great, and Morrison, while not china-chined, doesn't have a granite chin.
James Toney would be an interesting matchup. It's hard to imagine Toney getting himself caught flush and he would be able to fight at the pace he likes and pepper him with counters.
I would favor old Foreman against the whole division except Wlad, and I would probably make Wlad a 65-35 favorite.

,Wlad on size alone would be a major problem but jab vs. Jab,Foremans hands down Imo.None of that extended floating stuff.....Foremans was like a straight howitzer coming in.
