    Wlad got up off the floor vs Williamson and Peter (who dropped him twice with illegal blows to the back of the head)

    How many fights did Lewis get off the canvas to win it Tyson??

    exactly people forget 2 of those KD's were illegal and Vlad got up to stagger Peter in the 11th and he got up to win in 2 other fights, Williamson and a fight earlier in his career

    I dont think Lewis or Tyson got off the floor to win

    Depends where the fight is?

    If it's in the USA AND IT'S THE 93 MORRISON, that beat Foreman, i think he has a better than 50-50 chance of winning, Klitchko would have a ref in there that forced him to fight and NOT HOLD, Morrison catches him it's over....

    However if the fight's in Germany, i think Wlad would win a decision in a very ugly fight:-(..

    Morrison would have a big size DISADVANTAGE, but his speed, agility, and athleticism would compensate for his lack of size, he was a little smaller than Peter who gave Wlad hell in 2005...

    Dino,

    Morrison was wobbled by a jab by Carl Williams and Yuri Vahulin. You make many comments, but keep in mind there are some here who actually saw the fights. Wlad's jab would find its mark.

    Tommy was not one for defense, and faded as the rounds rolled on. He had a great left hook, but Wlad keeps a high guard to stop that punch.

    The fight could be a bit like Lewis vs Morrison. No way Morrison takes Wlad laser like right hand.

    I'd take Wlad via TKO in the middle rounds.

    You don't know what you are watching. Wlad has a great jab. Its fast, accurate, long, and powerful. And to compare an old Foreman to Wlad's speed is silly.

    Klitschko knows how to use his size and skills to well and is to precise and heavy a puncher for Morrison to deal with. Morrison wasn't very effective defensively and had especially a lot of trouble with straight punches. Klitschko would get to him with precise straight punches and have Morrison down and out within the first 6 rounds.

    Thats not how boxing works.

    Duke's latteral footwork , head movement and diping in an out is the antidote to The Klitschko' offence.
    He's only accurate against slow plodders walking forward in straight line.

    Haye gave him upper body angles while barely using any leg movement and Wlad couldn't land a jab on him all night.
    Wlad didn't come close to knocking out Haye who has a weaker jaw and worse stamina than Morrison.

    Non puncher Chisora had Haye rocked and gassed badly.

    Who did Wlad beat better than Geroge Foreman? What opponent was similar to Morrison in speed, skill, size and power combination punching ?

    Absolutely no chance for Wlad. The Duke was the greatest (not hardest) puncher of his time (90s). He would have been too fast for either Klitschko.

    wlad would be flailing and flapping trying to grab hold of imaginary ropes inside 2 rounds.

    Hell yeah. No way any heavyweight today could match The Duke's skill, consistency, and dedication to his craft.

    Just look at his 2007 fight against John Castle. He was the same age there as Wlad was against Povetkin and didn't even need to hold on like a hooker to a pimp to take care of business.

    Just a bunch of hot air. Easy for you to be confident and talk big about a fantasy fight. I'm sure you would bet your account on this one. :lol:

    Wlad has a fight in a few weeks you have picked him to lose. Let's see who ends up being right, chicken****.

    Wlad will beat Pulev. :deal
