    Foreman knocks him out. Foreman can take a punch and Foreman was a better thinker and a better puncher than A.J. It took A.J. too long to go in there and do what he needed to do. Foreman would have went right at his ass. You that uppercut from Joshua was rough, did you see that uppercut that Foreman hit Cooney with. Yowza!!

    Agreed 100 percent. Wlad gassed out in every figh that goes rounds. Yet I never heard people talk about his stamina. Foreman got tired in 1 bout against Ali and he has the worse stamina of all time.

    Foreman constantly threw punches, he never backed up. Wlad is terrified to commit to his punches. If fought brave he would be knocked out worse than Corrie Sanders knocked him out. If he tried to run he would still get tired and be knocked out.

    Big George was too aggressive for Wlad.

    Think about this. If Anthony Joshua, who doesn't have that much power for a heavyweight, could wait till a late round and then walk Wlad down and execute him with no fear, do you really think one of the biggest hitters in heavyweight history couldn't do the same?

    Foreman of the Holyfield fight was too slow and relied on his reach and ability to take Evander's combinations to be competitive. This won't work against Wlad or AJ.

    Foreman is giving up reach, height, speed...he would get out boxed and if he was as aggressive and reckless as he was against Evander, old Man Foreman might get stopped on his feet.

    Did George make it a point to avoid large heavyweights who could punch after the Ron Lyle fight? At any rate, Wladimir wins that **** easy IMO. Wide UD or possibly a dramatic KO. It's not like George's chin is on a lot of film holding up to missles fired from a 6'6, 240lb former champion. Obviously George had very very heavy hands himself, but the difference in hand and foot speed would just be too much I feel.
