Is Wlad's power Foremanesque?

    I am joking, a lot of people on here seem to really believe that however. How many posts have I read about how the big hitters from the 70's punch "way harder" than Wlad. I don't want to give any of those guys a heart attack, but I believe that Wlad hits harder than Foreman, with far superior technique.
    And he has a better jab than Holmes.:smooch

    hamed knocked out feather weights with no technique during the 90's a 009 paulie malignaggi would knock out little hamed.. right?

    also what area are we talking about?

    are you saying fighting in germany makes you stronger?:huh

    What? George fought considerably more bums than Wlad. Just because Foreman's resume of opponents fought looks better at the very top end doesn't change that more than 50 of those knockouts were against cannon fodder.

    There's an argument for George hitting harder, but holding it against Wlad for knocking out bums while ignoring that Foreman's KO record is even more inflated than Wlad's is ain't really the most effective one.

    **** NO!

    Not even close. Only Shavers in close to Foreman power.

    Potentially yes but he doesn't commit to punches as much as Foreman, doesn't plant his feet and get the most possible leverage. That's him knowing not to have confidence in his chin.

    KO wins over Frazier, Norton, Lyle, and Moorer is more than impressive enough imo.

    Foreman is a monster in any era, even where the champions are 3 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier.

    ****ing hell can these ******ed Wlad threads stop? Wlad doesn't follow through with his punches enough, his style is too cautious, compare how Amir Khan punches to Maidana, Khan is bigger with better technique but Maidana hits much harder.
    Wlad is just below Lewis.

    Wlads power is way overrated. Against Thompson, rahman,brewster,chambers and last peter wlad landed dozens of big right hands, these guys walked right through them. It was first when they were tired and worn they dropped.

    You cant put him even close to Foreman in the category called power.
