    Who wins? I got Klitschko by Decision, dont think he throws enough punches to stop foreman, Klitschk too experienced, defensively crafty to be stopped by old Foreman.

    Joshua won by a TKO in the 11th...he did something Mike Tyson never did...he got floored...then he came back to win!!!

    I dont think getting floored is something to be proud of, i'd rather have a chin that keeps me in the fight for several rounds when completely outmatched than get dropped by people i can beat. Mike Tyson took big shots in several fights that would have dropped 99% of all HWs ever. Not his fault he wouldnt go down unless you completely outclassed him and beat him down. Would you be satisfied if his foot slipped in the first round against bruno or in the sixth against Ruddock or if it had been scored a KD when he fell trying to finish off Alex Steward?. . Youre talking about a meaningless statistic. What Joshua can be proud of is winning a very tough fight and showing heart both of which are a much better measuring stick.
    Why dont you give your opinion on the question in the thread title?

    Let me see Wlad got knocked out by AJ a crude guy with no stamina. But you believe Foreman who has a better chin and better stamina couldn't knock out Wlad? Brilliant boxing logic.

    Wlad is a much better boxer with much longer reach and with a chin around as good if not better than Morrison and Steward.........lol but it doesnt work like that. What makes you think Wlad would fight Foreman the same way?? Foreman fought COMPLETELY differently than Joshua therefore Wlad would fight differently resulting in a different fight in which i see Wlad using his slightly longer reach and faster feet to win a decision capiche?

    Cute story. Morrison ran like a woman. Morrison was also a bigger puncher and this was after Foreman fought Holyfield. Alex Stewart was dropped 2 times by grazing punches. Foreman let up and he got back in the fight.

    So your point is you don't know boxing. Wlad would run like he always runs, he would tire like he always got tired. He would be knocked out like he always does when he fights elite fighters.

    George Foreman always came forward throwing punches. AJ did basically nothing most of the fight yet both were gassed. Are you telling me that Wlad would avoid being punched the whole fight and not gas out? Only in the deluded mind of a Klitscko fan. Well your boy just got knocked out capiche.

    Either old Wlad by points or old Foreman by come-from-behind late KO

    I am not a Klitschko fan,hes probably the HW champion that i am least fan of tied with Moorer and the Spinks brothers.(In the last 50-60 years)
    I never said Foreman couldnt win.
    I dont know boxing? Thank you for informing me! I will refer to you as the chief authority on boxing and consult with you on your opinion on every thread on this forum from now on.

    Foreman would walk him down and knock him out. George is too powerful and Wlads chin too soft. Foreman ko 3.

    The fight last night was an absolute classic but I'm not sure either of those guys could beat a 42 year-old Foreman.
    And a prime Holyfield would have eaten them alive, out-boxed them and out-fought them.

    Old man Klitschko and raw novice Joshua are lovely looking specimens and really powerful, and Wlad obvious had tons of skills through experience, but they didn't look the most durable and they were both gassed real quick.
    Old man Foreman was the epitome of a relaxed natural fighter.

    Klitschko did well against Joshua because AJ has no clue about ring generalship whatsoever. Wlad bossed the centre of the ring and worked off that. That aint happening against Foreman.

    Can Wlad keep up the pace for 12 rounds? Can he take foremans lethal 1-2? All legitimate questions going into such an epic hypothetical match... lol... We KNOW Big George has one of the best chins in boxing history, but does Wlad? I don't think so. Foreman by late TKO.
