I think a prime Foreman would definitely pose a threat to the division today. Just wondering what everyone else thinks?:deal
A threat, yes, but he wouldn't be the "BIG" man that he was used to being in the ring in his prime. I think he'd be one of the bigger punches as you saw that strength stay with him in his second tilt but I still see him having issues with Wlad, Vitali and co. Tua vs Foreman would be the fight I'd want to see.
He had stylistical problems against slick fighters, and there are some slick fighters in the heavyweight division. I bet he'd struggle, he could very well be THE champ, but he'd struggle for it.
Wlad is this era's Ken Norton looks good with boxers but cannot handle aggresive punchers no matter how old, out of shape or limited they are (peter, sanders, brewster) As for Vitali he simply isn't all that good IMO.
And I disagree. Though, if Foreman could connect with Wlad and cause him to panic, he could steal it. I don't like Foreman against these tall men. Further, I do think Vitali is very good. His loss against Lewis showed that.
He handled Brewster (the second fight) and Peter (Whilst getting rabbit punched to hell) pretty well tho, so you fail.
i think he'd wrap it up handy enough. george was a better boxer than people gave him credit for and his machismo affected him detrimentally imo making him fight as if every punch needed to be a KO. he also had an awesome jab with power the only guys who would test him would be the klits, with george KO'ing wlad and having a war with vitali i re-watched vitali vs corrie sanders last night and vitali was hurt badly by a short right at the end of round 1, and george punches a hell of a lot harder than sanders did. i think he would take a decision against vitali probably based on work rate and jab frequency apart from the bros, george is arrested for assault against anyone else
atsch How did I fail? Brewster didn't fight as aggresive the 2nd fight plus he had a detached retina, furthermore he did not handle Peter well. His older, slower less talented brother had a 4 yr layoff came back and humiliated Peter, while Wlad froze up and went down 3 times barely escaping with a W. He should've been able to do what Vitali did & more he froze against a fat joke of a HW puncher.
