    He would have no chance stopping Vitaly, unless on cuts. He will lose.

    I am not sure he would stop Valuev either. Win, maybe, stop, unlikely.

    Today's Vitali, who is much slower and is not as active. He would definetly stop Vitali who shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Foreman.

    I understand that people enjoy sucking dicks of old U.S. greats, but no way in hell does Foreman stop even the current version of Vitaly who is huge, awkward, smart and has a brick for jaw.

    Heck, Foreman will have troubles even with Povetkin.

    With this statement, I know you can't be serious and I am just going to stop wasting my time.

    If Vitali was HALF as good as you make him out to be, he would've not lost to a 38 yr old shot lewis.

    Actually, I think Tua/Foreman would look a lot like Frazier/Foreman.

    Wlad went down 3 times against a fat joke, Brewster was old & damaged goods in the rematch, besides Wlad was the one who got destroyed out of the 2, he was KO'd by a golfer and even had a lot of trouble with TOS, once he knocked Wlad down, don't give me this **** that he deals with aggresive punchers well because he doesn't.

    I agree with the end result BUT the reasoning would be different, Foreman just Overpowered Fraizer, Tua would be able to match Foreman in that department but Foreman would be too skilled & would outbox Tua before setting him up for the KO.

    Ever notice how anyone involving Wlad takes his losses when he wasn't in his prime so ****ing seriously but excuses any losses guys like Tyson, Ali, Frazier, Foreman had?

    Idiots.

    I'll throw out purrity but Was Wlad not in his prime when he got KTFO by Brewster & Sanders? He was in his mid 20s and had over 40 fights, how was he not peak against Sanders or Brewster Nuthugger?

    Wlad was not in his prime six years ago. You can see the development as a fighter he's had in that time period just by the way he moves and the fact that he's far more fluid with the shots he throws.

    Also the nervous movements, you don't see him flinching and wasting the energy he used to in that era, he is much more composed, as you would expect with experience, age and getting sharper at his craft.

    He's had six years working with one of the all time great achieving trainers to hone those skills, so no, Brewster and Sanders were not Wlad at his prime, at all.

    Consider that it was only 6 years past beating Foreman and Frazier in the same year that Ali was completely OUT of his prime and you'll be on the path to realising something.

    Generally, with the exception of Mike Tyson who never got a chance to be "in prime" - HW fighters hit their prime around their 30th and stay in their prime til their 35th.

    Agreed.

    Wladmir would get destroyed by a young foreman, frazier or Ali.

    You've never seen those guys get knocked out twice by C level heavyweights.

    Wladimir really aint ****, he's never proven himself against a real fighter. Ever. He's just a cut above all the slugs he fights.

    I mean Chagaev his best win? Who the **** is Chagaev? Anybody even seen one of that guys fights other than on youtube outa' curiousity post contract signing with Wlad?

    Nobody has grounds to say Wladimir would beat one of the calibur of a prime foreman.

    Reminds me of when one of the Wlad idiots was telling me Wlad would beat a prime mike tyson.

    AHAHAHAH now that's funny.
