Foreman and early.

Wald would be terrified.

 

Seriously?

Foreman by brutal KO within a minute.

 

Wlad would faint on his way to the ring.

 

come on, this is a no brainer. klittycat dont last one.

 

Interesting fight.

Klitschko is a great boxer and, if given the chance, would make Foreman look awful in there. Both guys use their jab to set up their best shots, and Klitschko has the better jab so he should be getting off more power punches. His clinch is also a massive attribute of his and he would have great success against Foreman if he used it. He would stick to his jab and straight right, wait for Foreman to come in and then smother him before Foreman could unleash his wide power punches.

However, as the fight wears on, I would expect Foreman to start landed more and more crushing body shots. As in the second Peralta fight, Foreman knew how to weaken his man with body punches. I think that's how he would get to Klitschko. Foreman had underrated head movement and could parry punches well. Once he starts doing this, he'd get inside and attack the body.

Klitschko would dominate the early rounds as he is the far superior boxer, however, as the fight wears on, Foreman would start to damamge the body. Once this happens, Klitschko would becme weak and head shots would start landing.

George Foreman TKO8.

 

Wlad's chin and George's punch make this a no brainer.

 

Foreman would win. i'm not gona say it will be a white wash or a destruction of wlad, but compared to foreman wlad is a B class fighter.

 

Foreman and by KO early.

 

A fair analysis, assuming you're talking about a 45 year old Foreman. A peak Foreman would destroy Wlad within 2 minutes.

 

I disagree. Wlad is one of the most technically proficient heavyweights of all time. His offence ranks alongside Joe Louis and Sonny Liston and his defence rivals a top class heavyweight like Larry Holmes. He has a pulverising jab which sets up his greatest punches, the straight right or left hook, which both carry devastating power. He also has a ring intelligence which surpasses the majority of ATG havyweight.

The only thing B class about Klitschko is his chin. If he had a chin like Frazier or Marciano, so not the very best but still awesome, he would be a top 10 heavyweight in head to head match-ups.

 

Pre Steward Wlad would be walking on to a fast, brutal KO. He'd land some bombs of his own but would just get overpowered.

The current version of Wlad does well early. Boxing behind his jab and holding on whenever Foreman gets too close. But Foreman was never really an inside fighter, most of his bombs were delivered at long to mid range so he wouldn't have to get that close to land his huge hooks to the head and body. Wlad slows due to the intense pressure and body attack Foreman applies and get KO'ed in about 6 or 7 rounds.

 

Wlad would bottle it and wouldnt even show!
