    I think that Wladimir is in better shape now than George Foreman was in 1995, I think that Wladimir would stop Foreman no matter how strong he was...

    Yow, Big George is right up there with Holmes as my favorite fighter, but...

    I mean, are we talking prime Wlad? George would get hurt and be swole up worse than against Stewart by far. He might land a couple of staggerers but...

    Wlad UD 12 and George might win a round or possibly two.

    1995 Foreman vs current 46 year old Wlad? George wins by knockout. Wlad may win a few rounds with his superior quickness, but, it would only be a matter of time before George successfully lowered the boom on Wlad.

    Absolutely. Both the same age but one with years of ring rust. I'll go with the (relatively) active fighter.

    Eewps, I boo-boo'ed, didn't read the original post like I should have. Sorry.

    Yes, '95 George would knock Wlad around the ring at this stage imo.

    It means that they are both 46 years old. There is no doubt who would be the winner, unless he was robbed as in the fight against Briggs.

    Wlad would cruise to a UD but if he makes one mistake then he’s on the canvas

    Old George against Wlad of now?
    I go George by persevering and chipping away at Wlad.

    Oh man this would be RIP Wladamir I'm sorry to say....I see this going a lot like Foreman v Cooney.

    Wlad showed his limitations in fighting bigger men...George was not as big as Fury or AJ, but he's big none the less and he certainly hits as hard as them.

    It is precisely because there were no dark horses like Foreman lurking around the corner during his career that Wlad was able to reign unmolested for so long, picking up wins off of the Sultan Ibragmiovs and Alex povetkins of the world.

    A guy like Foreman would not be intimidated, and would come straight at Wlad, coming to take his soul, and Wlad historically has faltered under that type of pressure...

    He thrives more off of smaller, more docile opponents whom he can impose his jab upon.

    Foreman is from the projects of east Houston, the current murder capital USA ... He would not be in the least bit intimidated or amused by Klitschko, and most certainly would not find him to be cute or funny

    If Wlad now looks like the Wlad from the AJ fight he would blow Foreman to bits and send him back to promoting burgers. Foreman would be the slower, smaller man here plodding around the ring to get at a bigger, more elusive and harder hitting man. Good luck with that. George would probably see the end bell because Wlad was happy to jab his way to a win but his own chances of victory would be small enough to put into a matchbox.

    Klitschko vs AJ

    Wlad looked better in a fight that he lost by KO than Foreman looked in a fight he won.

    That is a 41-year-old Wlad. George at that age, even a year older at 42 when he blasted out Cooney would massacre the AJ version of Klit.

    Firstly, no he wouldn't.

    Secondly, we have no 46 year old version of Wlad to evaluate. If you do, then please post it. this is as close as it gets
