    Foreman at 41 clobbers him. Waldo would soil himself during the staredown.

    So smaller slow fat guys were Wlad's kryptonite? Who knew?

    I would bet on Foreman W KO.

    I suspect that Wlad, at 46, would become vulnerable in the later rounds and eventually get clipped by George.

    Wlad could not fight being backed up. He liked to push off his opponents. No one can do that to George. It would be George pushing Wlad back. He's not going to be able to lean all over Foreman and do his rendition of an octopus. Not a chance. Wlad get's exhausted under Foreman's constant pressure. He'd collapse from exhaustion as he did against previous, lesser opponents. That is if George didn't knock him senseless first. George had the bigger heart and punch. He never gets discouraged. And the size difference is negligible. Wlad was 6'6" and 240 lbs. Foreman was 6'4" and 255 lbs.

    "Constant pressure" :lol: from a guy with the footwork of a tree.

    That so-called "tree" felled many an opponent

    Wlad looked pretty bad against Joshua but that was after a what 15 month layoff? Missed every single lead left hook he threw and timing was way off etc.
    Foreman would likely absorb all Wlad’s onslaught and stop Wlad before 10th round.

    He felled a grand total of one guy in the top ten during his comeback, who happened to be a chinny former 175.

    We have no clue what Wlad would look like now. He could get stopped by Jerry Forest and Alen Babic, or dominate Joseph Parker and KO Deontay Wilder

    Yes, but only to visit poor Wlad.

    (It's the kind of gentlemanly thing Foreman would do. He might even take Wlad a fruit basket.)

    The last version of Wlad that we saw in the ring would beat any version of old Foreman.

    George still had the unfaltering, stubborn attack but in his comeback he was just too slow...his feet were slow, you could see most punches coming and even if he connected he could rarely follow up the way he could when he was younger.

    Wlad, even at the age of 41 was much more preserved athletically. Better conditioning, quicker hands and feet, and more reach. He'd be beating Foreman to the Punch and we might even see George taste the canvas once Wlad gets comfortable letting his right hand go. Foreman might land some good punches once they get close, but the seasoned Wlad of the AJ fight can take some good licks without having a breakdown the way he did when he was younger. He was actually pretty gritty that night. So yeah, Wlad 10/10.

    Wlad lost to a new comer 18 fight novice at age 41, 5 years ago. has not had fight since If he came back now he is crushed. Foreman of 1995 would crush him too

    At 41 v 41 it is Foreman smash Cooney & Rodrigues & go full rounds with Holyfield.

    with Wlad which lose Joshua, outlast by chinny suspect stamina novice.

    yes Wlad wins " physique contest" hands down at 41 year old man category. but boxing match he lose with Foreman in same age
