In your view, was George Foreman largely right in this interview about Wlad?

    Wlad will surpass 25 consecutive defenses?
     
  2. Although I respect Big George... He's wrong. The part I have to take most issue with is

    First of all, he blatantly contradicts himself.

    Then.. he starts talking about how Wlad was afraid to engage David Haye, which is completely the opposite of what happened in that fight.

    This is neither here nor there but I also feel like Wlad would probably accidentally kill a PRIME Sonny Liston in the ring.

    The question was, "is Foreman largely correct?" The answer is yes.

    For his size advantage against much of his opposition, Wlad leaves much to be desired. I don't fault him for that, a W is a W, but it's not appealing for such a big guy to be so timid.

    Gotta love how a guy that's never even been in the ring with a great fighter is granted so many make believe victories over them. And it's basically what the Klitschko's entire legacy is based upon... fantasy scenarios. :yep

    George has no crediability.
    He's all over the place...
    The Zaire fiasco was one dumb-ass fight where George could have used
    defensive-first tutoring by Wlad.
    George has too much time on his hands.

    Wlad was affraid to go for KO against Haye and you think he would have guts to try stopping Foreman:rofl
    Wlad would maybe win in terrifying performance with 5 straight right hands thrown all night he would just jab and jab to keep Foreman of him, no way would he go for KO!

    Foreman would show both Klit's what's its like to be a real 'big' heavyweight boxer.

    KO them both.

    George Foreman had the footwork of Michael Myers and the defence of the mummy, it's no wonder journeyman Young schooled him.
    Foreman also proved that he had the lowest ring IQ in history by winging full on power punches at Ali round after round while Ali sat on the ropes and waited for him to get tired, what a jackass.

    Wlad gassed against Purrity and got KO, little different losing to Ali then losing to Puritty:think

    Foreman's record up until the Frazier fight was shocking, he was still fighting proper bums until his title shot, and I'm not talking about journeymen but proper no-hopers.

    Frazier, Ali, and Foreman basically built their reputations off of fighting eachother, the division itself was far from special, it's a real laugh reading how some people talk about how amazing it was now.

    Aside from the big 3 you had Young, Ellis, Lyle, Shavers, LeDoux, Norton, and Bonavena and I'm sure I've forgotten a couple of journeymen on that list. A real murderer's row that was.
