    I think Foreman despite being smaller than Fury would win. He is a harder puncher and a more skillfull boxer than fury on the downside Foreman doent have Fury's reach and height so Wlad could still win rounds with his jab. If Foreman stands landing combos he could drop Wlad and win the fight without the judges.

    Foreman may replicate Peters success but he can't win. He doesn't have Furys movement and footwork, Wlad will jab him to death.

    Foreman would have knocked him out.

    Is this the same Klitscko that is literally terrified of engaging anyone? (see last night).

    What's he going to do? Outmuscle Big George?

    George does not have Fury's size or mobility, Wlads jabs would be fighting their mark easily. Let's not act like Fury is in any way comparable to ANY of the past champions stylistically.

    Didn't Fury literally copy Ali throughout the fight?

    The fight yesterday did give us somewhat of an indication on how Wlad versus Ali would go although Furys significantly greater physical dimensions should be taken into account, but theres no comparison between Ali and an OLD Foreman.

    Wlad spanks old George. This should be obvious. Prime George, another thing.

    Wlads chances of beating any former great is totally laughable after last night.

    Wlad jabs and runs all night to a wide UD (jabbing and grabbing would be kind of risky given George's strength and uncanny ability to generate power with little room for leverage)

    If a guy as big and strong as Foreman is only ever going to be outjabbed by Wlad then what chance does a Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Jack Johnson or a Joe Fraizer have?

    I think George stops him in the late rounds after Wlad builds a lead. Wlad tires from having to move all night to avoid George's power. One good shot on Wlad's mediocre chin is all it would take.

    He wouldn't avoid it though, Foreman could cut off the the ring better than any Heavyweight other than Joe Frazier. He would get to Wlad early and stop him against the ropes.

    Whatever Morrison did, Wlad would do much better. Old Foreman wasn't very good.
