    Dino is backing Foreman II: It's About Time...

    That means bet your house on Wlad.

    I honestly can't see old George laying a glove on him. Wlad takes this by comfortable decision and wins every round.

    I've seen nothing to suggest Wlad can fight with the cerebral soundness of a Tommy Morrison or the grit, moxy, and pluck (all of which hed be tested for after the fight) of Alex Stewart.

    The call here must be Old Foreman.

    Statistically speaking Wlad spends an average of 70% of rounds engaged in clinches.

    In some cases an incredible 90% of a round was spent in a bear hug.

    You can't really believe Wlad survives this amount of close quarters engagement with Foreman. Not with his panic reflux and not with his fragile china chin.

    88-92 Foreman blasts Wlad back with the jack hammer jab and gives him an absolute shackling in the wheel house

    Dino,

    What you don't know about boxing can fill an ocean. This fight is a mis-match. Wlad's jab and footwork alone means he'll hardly ever need to clinch Foreman. Old Foreman was slow...and his biggest asset in size won't be one in this fight.

    TKO for Wlad in the mid to late rounds depending on Foreman's effort to win.

    What part of the statistical clinch count an.alysis didn't you understand?

    Foreman moved quicker on the front foot and was 100x more effective coming forward than Jennings was.

    How many warnings did Wlad get for holding before he got point deducted against Jennings?

    How many times was he holding on for his life against Peter?

    Foreman would blow a hole through Wlad. Its a miss match. One punch from Corrie Sanders wrecked him. You think he can take the power of Foreman:huh

    Wladimir Klitschko is all wrong for old George.

    Now the young Wlad could have some problems in that match, I can see GF winning that.

    I think old George is just too slow to catch Klitschko. BUT even as an old man he had a world-class jab that was straight, true and hard as hell. I fancy George would land his fair share.
    It might just land often enough for George to catch Wlad with something more meaty beind it, but 9/10 I fancy that Wlad is too spry and quick to get caught with too much.
    George might be able to one-shot Wlad like he did to Moorer though, but it's a long shot.

    He wasn't slow at all. Thats a myth.

    Loot at him go after Bert Cooper and and Qaui. And almost everybody else he fought from 88-92.

    He moved forward with quick and educated foot work behind a brutal jab and straight right better than anybody Wlad ever fought.

    If Wlad beat somebody better , id like to see that fight.
