    Wlad has elite clinching game inside and is strong as hell, so he may maul Foreman in close.

    Wait, you think the only way Foreman can land body shots on Wladmir (when the ref is hypothetically penalizing excessive clinching) is if Wladmir "lets" him...? :lol:

    Foreman would only be able to cut off the ring if Wladmir just abruptly stopped moving and let it happen?

    Do you believe Wladmir is Whitaker 2.0 and will go 7 rounds in a row blocking every single body shot attempt and will gracefully dance around the ring never getting cornered once?

    At no point did I say or imply Wladmir "can't" do anything, only that it wouldn't be easy for him to deal with these skills of Foreman given that fighters inferior to Foreman both landed body shots AND cut off the ring against Wladmir and pressured him. You aren't in any position to question someone else's intelligence if you needed me to explain this.

    And none of this changes the fact you created a strawman argument, then whined that you were a victim of me "bullying" you somehow when I called you out for it. :facepalm:

    I addressed everything you said, nitwit.

    You were attacking strawman arguments and still refuse to admit that's what you were doing.

    Well then you're even dumber than I thought because I have literally pointed out flaws Foreman had that Wladmir could potentially exploit.

    All you know how to do is say "I know you are, but what am I?".

    And all you know how to do is be a bad faith little cry baby when someone calls you out on your bs. Whatever we're done here go kick sand not wasting time on your dumbass.

    This is the proverbial gigantic ice wall Wladmir fans inevitably run into and cannot scale similar to the wildlings and white walkers failing to get past the night's watch.

    His resume has quantity, but lacks quality.

    He beat several "good", "decent", and plenty of "average" or "bad" opponents. But no greats or elites to speak of.

    If only there was some elite boxer he shared his era with against whom he could've proved his ATG h2h+resume credentials against...!

    You're proving my point using the same thing I said about you.

    Squack some more, little parrot. You don't have a single original thought in your underdeveloped brain.

    This is your 4th time failing to admit you created a strawman and ran away.

    Yet this "underdeveloped" brain totally wrecked you so what does that make you?

    You don't "win" a debate by attacking strawman arguments and then running away when called out. :lol:

    You also don't win a debate by crashing out on your opponent because you know you can't address their points, but I guess that's all someone of your intellectual capacity is capable of.

    I addressed everything. You repeating yourself doesn't make a lie true. Just like how you lied and claimed I said Wladmir would just let Foreman do what he wants.

    Lying and being incompetent, pick a struggle parrot.

    I'm sure you would know a lot about that considering how many you spread on a daily basis :)

    Yeah very true, I just think Wlad was lucky not many of his era had anything going on side. No real body punchers, little creativity..Surely Foreman one of the greats with power for the ages would be able to land something big and we know Wlad's chin wasn't granite.

    But your right an elite clinch maybe the cheat code Wlad needs against smaller guys.

    That one of Wlad's attributes is being referred to as "elite" clinching tells a story on its own.

    Brings some good balance to the thread.

    I am not as sure on Liston not the most knowledgeable on his standing but both Wlad and Foreman would make my top 10 as well.
