    Wladimir’s opponents go into shock when hit.

    When hit with the sort of power Wlad has you go into survival mode even if you have what is commonly referred to as "heart".

    There is a very good reason that his opponents do not rush him - it would be pure suicide and they would probably suffer severe brain injury, worse than they receive at any rate (which is quite considerable).

    He's powerful, but not as powerful as Foreman. Or even as powerful as Tyson or Lewis. ask Francois Botha.

    Ray Mercer also said that Lewis hit harder.

    Or maybe it's because his opponents just aren't very good.

    He does have very good power though, but if Tyson or Frazier were around today, they would touch his chin.

    Which is more likely?

    How typical of a *****. Let's put him in with people he can't fight!

    That is why they call you ***** Ass.

    Foreman's KO power is far superior that of Wlad.

    No way would Wlad take Frazier out the way Foreman did

    no. George was just on a different class as a puncher IMO.
