Is Wladimir Klitschko a favorite over prime George Foreman and Sonny Liston H2H

No and Yes.

 

No x2

 

No, both Sonny and George would Hurt him badly.

You needed a decent chin against those two and I'm not sure wlad s is up for it.

 

Wlad beats them both easily. Both relied on having a size advantage and aside from that their technical skills were quite limited. Wlad keeps them both at range and once they taste his power they get hesitant and he picks them off until he get the late stoppage.

 

I'd make Wlad the favorite against both but either could land the right shot and end it.

 

Wlad is a step up from either.

 

Wlad loses both. Just because he reigned a long time doesn't detract from the fact he presided over a weak era - and collapsed under pressure. He is waaaay outside my top 10.

 

Please explain how he beats Liston but not Foreman. He’d have the much tougher time against Liston imo

 

Both are slow (hand and foot). Is the strategy for them to get punched repeatedly and for Wlad to gas himself out? That probably won't work lol.

 

Wlad was very good defensively. He's taken some big shots in fights and he was still able to get a win.

 

Did either Foreman or Liston preside over anything? Their reigns were not exactly the stuff of legend.

 

Wlad beats both - he's bigger, faster and more powerful.

 

Wlad had no legitimate defensive technique or skill.

He always wrestles, it's a necessity. He has limited skills which means he cannot defend himself legally when anyone gets close, illegally holding, headlocks , back humps , leaning etc are the only ways he can protect himself.

 

Prime Foreman is in the Top 15 ATG, not sure about Liston.

Wlad is DEFINITELY NOT in the Top 15.
