    I commend Wlad for a spirited effort but lets be real.. Abandoning the grab and clinch ultimately played a big part in him getting ktfo.
    He didn't adopt that tactic for 10 years for no reason.

    Interesting factor to consider;

    Joshua punched himself out against Wlad but had the survival instincts to weather the storm and come back to win by stoppage.

    Wlad punched himself out against a journeyman but couldn't hold it together and got stopped.

    It was Joshua's 19th fight . It was Wlads 24th fight.

    Hmmmmm...

    Are you trying to hurt the poor guy? Putthing him in with those monsters at that age?

    At 41 I don't see him beating any of those guys in their primes.

    Every fight involved someone trying to hurt someone else.

    The only one of them who would have a chance is Muhammad Ali, the other ones would all getting knocked out.
    They are too small, he would beat them exactly the same way he did it with all his other opponents.

    i would favor Foreman over Ali, you cant beat joshua unless you tire him out,even if ones not a big puncher using physical size against him ranks over trying to out box him. Wlad was able to do both he could punch and even through Joshua backward twice in that fight. Ali really has no answer for a Joshua.Actually his worst nightmare of an opponent bc of his size and style.

    At least foreman would have a punchers chance if anything. A SLIM one.

    I reckon the HW crown could be the richest prize in sports once again under Joshua. Its been a very long time since the HW Champ was the baddest man on the planet.

    Foreman wasn't in the list, i agree with you, he would have better chances, but from the fighters in the list that
    the OP has posted, i would give Muhammad Ali the best chances.

    This thread is about Wlad at 41 years old, i think you have mistaken it for the other thread about Joshua.

    That's cos I don't think 41 year old Wlad has any chance against Foreman.

    You don't have a deep enough knowledge of boxing. Your lack of experience is really telling.
