    You should pick another sport Sonny, you are literally clueless.....the closest you ever came to a price fight is on your computer screen...fact not fiction...

    Foreman could not keep up with the pace, lol, the kept up with Holyfield for the entire fight without slowing down....WK never ever set a brisk fight pace unless your feeble mind considers jab and grab action packed.

    Sam Peter......rated number one , yeah for beating D level Jeremy Williams.....he fought strictly bums for his ratings and still had WK on the brink of defeat...Peter always was a no skill fighter who only was in the ratings because the division was bad beyond bad

    Prime under Stewart.......he got iced from Heavy bag Brewster under Stewart

    The performance Foreman put in against Holyfield is leagues beyond anything Sam Peter ever demonstrated and that's because Foreman was levels above Peter, right up until he retired for good. Once you work this out and then consider that Peter (who had Wlad in all sorts of trouble) was more or less Wlad's best win, you might begin to see how Foreman looks the favorite against Wlad.

    Just imagine if I followed your drivel and pointed out how disingenuous and wrong you can be. It would be a field day. Keep posting clown.

    Until then that punch didn’t land close to the chin as you said. But now we know how sensitive you really are.

    Old foreman over Wlad you think? Bawhaha.

    It’s Steward not Stewart you arm chair casual.

    Wlad reigned for 11 years made 18 consecutive title defenses but Foreman is going to win because during his comeback he defeated Cooper, Cooney, Quawi and Moorer lmao. Learn the sport my son

    Peter was Not Wlad’s best win a good one but not as good as Povetkin, Pulev, Byrd, Haye, and Wlad took every round of the rematch and every round of the first fight outside the kd rounds much like Fury did vs Wilder recently.
    Foreman gets slaughtered something most reasonable posters seem to understand and why Wlad is easily winning the poll.

    2/3 to 1/3 is hardly an overwhelming favorite. Quite similar to how many feel going into a real life fight. Projections even majority consensus ones (and this misses the cut) don’t determine outcomes. If they did Jeff Lacy would have destroyed Calzaghe and few would remember Buster Douglas at all. Wlad would be the favorite based upon his support and rightfully so, even though I think George springs the upset. Not sure why you feel like it is unreasonable for 34% of people to disagree with you?

    Well most people in the classic forum have higher level of understanding than the casual fan. So the poll has a little more value than say an espn poll. However it’s all just opinions. Doesn’t mean anything. For me, Foreman is too old and slow during any part of his comeback to trouble peak Wlad who was way more proven against good competition during his career than Foreman was, Wlad is 6’6 245 eliminating George’s best asset of being bigger than his opponents. If Alex Stewart could bust him up badly Wlad can stop him.

    Not an unreasonable take IMO! But on the flip side if Puritty, Brewster and Sanders can stop Wlad...well at the very least George would be a live dog and someone who Wlad will need to be smart and cautious with.

    Any Poster who thinks Foreman gets slaughtered is not being reasonable.

    Prime vs Prime would be even money h2h although Klitschko matured later and was technically superior. Klit of the Joshua fight (his last outing) has too much for old George and you all know it.

    Being a little harsh aren't you? I disagree with the guy on this point but nothing he said was egregious.

    I'm in the 66% here, but I definitely think Foreman is a live underdog.
