2010 Wlad Vs. 1991 Foreman

wlad UD! and would tko prime foreman as he would gass out like in zire!

 

Did you see him gass out against Ron Lyle?
That was a war

 

Yep, Wlad's 12 knockdowns and 3 TKO losses to journeymen at the time. I feel put him in second place, as far as worst chins by heavyweight champions are concerned. Though Patterson was a head shorter and not a natural heavyweight. Wlad is bigger and stronger than 95% of the guys he ever stepped in the ring with. Wlad's glass chin and lack of toughness when the pressures on, leaves room for just about any heavyweight with a good chin and heavy hands to catch Wlad and send him in panic mode.

As far as this fight goes. I see it going one of two ways, Wlad's beats him to death with the jab for 9 or 10 rounds until Dundee pulls the plug or Big George waits to till Wlad makes a mistake and takes him out from there. Which could happen in any round or at anytime. This fight is truly a 50/50.

 

:rofl Like Wlad never gassed out in a fight? Does Brewster or Purrity ring a bell?

 

Wlad was 21 when he fought Purrity and overpaced like the green fighter he was. This thread was about the 2010 version of Wlad.

Against Brewster, whatever the cause, he had a metabolic imbalance. it happens to athletes, even world class marathoners and ironman triathletes bonk sometimes and it has nothing to do with stamina problems as such. Even a world class athlete has biorhythms and bad metabolic periods, this kind of thin happened to Wlad once in over 50 pro fights.

If you refer to Wlad's worst nights, you should rightfully refer to Foreman's worst as well. If Foreman couldn't take a combination from Ali, Wlad would KO him easily. Of course that is a silly conclusion, but not any more silly than to use Wlad's loss to Purrity as an indicator for Wlad - Foreman.

 

The poster didn't use the 91 version of Foreman as an example. I believe the Lyle fight happend in 1975. So I was just pointing out Wlad's bad nights. The only difference was that Foreman ended up knocking out Lyle, the opposite happend to Wlad. He was knocked out by both Brewster and Purrity.

Wlad gassed in the Brewster fight, he was thowing everything but the kitchen sink at Brewster and he wasn't going down. Wlad's a 6'6 248 pound heavyweight, what do you think is going to happen when your throwing power punch after power punch for 5 rounds straight? This was still the begining stage of Steward and Wlad. Where Wlad did not pace himself properly and his clinching wasn't perfected yet.

 

George was there to be hit and needed someone to stand still for him. Wlad hits hard and is hard to hit. Also George is known for swelling up. I see Wlad making a mess of George's face and the ref stopping it because of swelling.

 

If Morrison could beat that version of Foreman, Wlad will do so easily.

 

Wlad would batter him and finish him off before the 8th round. IF he decides to play it safe.

 

It could play out like WK-Peter. If Foreman got a knock-down, whats to say Wlad wont get up like he always has done? And when that happens I don't think Foreman could fight effectively enough coming forward to put Wlad away. I think he'd recover from a KD and win on points, assuming he can't put Foreman away

 

Wlad in 98 out of 100
Everyone who has Foreman is a nostalgic nuthugger....

 

Prime foreman knocks him out.....but 1991 version.......,mmmmmm i really doubt unless he lands the homerun.......alex stewart fuked foreman up pretty bad..........honestly i cant stand wlad but i think he would to tko the old george by 10 rd tko,,,,,,,,,, on cuts or swollen face,.....

 

I agree...George would be zapped by round 5!:bart

 

Wlad isnt getting caught he uses his distance and jab too well.

Moorer got caught because he was a dumb ass and squared up with george. Foreman deserves all the credit in the world for his KO win but if you had a lot of skill and fight a cautious fight then old george is easy to beat for a fighter like wlad in his prime given his skill and abilities.

 

George lost a UD to none other than Doug-hammerin' hank- Jones in 1977.
Let's get over the man-love...he had serious flaws.
