    Brock is 6'2... Are you honestly trying to tell me that Wlad clinches against taller opponents as much as he does shorter ones? Watch the McCline, Jefferson, Austin, Wach, Pianeta, and 2nd TT fight... Wlad is much more offensive against heavyweights who are 6'4 and above, especially ones 6'5 and above like the ones I listed... TT was extremely awkward in the first fight, took Wlad a while to figure him out.

    That's a pretty fair post. :good Wlad would have every incentive to keep it at range and keep popping jabs at and around that crossarm defence Foreman used. If Foreman gets in close, yeah, Wlad will clinch. But the thing is that even if Foreman managed to somehow land something big, I just don't think that he has the footwork or speed to finish Wlad off. Wlad UD is a very likely outcome, and probably in a boring fight at that. Young Foreman, well, that's a different beast entirely I think. :bbb But 39 y/o Klitschko is waaay better than 39 y/o Foreman.

    Dino, Dino, you are usless.
    Wasn`t Klitschko scared of Fury and no way in hell going to fight him ? You are so wrong.
    And now you are calling 1 round with 3-4 clinches .... Where did you see clinches in Broock fight ? There was so few clinches, that only morons like you can complain about it.

    Wlad would soundly outbox him at range to a wide decision.

    People would talk about how awful the era was that a washed up , slow 40 year old was given a title shot.

    Which Wlad does this? The one that only lives in your gormless dome?

    Why do you pretend Wlad does things he doesn't.

    Go watch this very closely.

    Wlad couldn't out box Mormek from range. In the first round alone , he clinched more times than he landed punches.

    Thats about 19 clinches and barely a punch landed. Against Mormeck of all people.

    This 39 year old Wlad. Who has he out boxed from range?

    Do you know what that statement means?

    It means a Larry Holmes type performance , constantly on the back foot out boxing a guy without ever being in range of the other opponent.
    I want to see this Wlad. Show him to me.

    If Wlad tried his jab and grab on Big George, he'd get bludgeoned.

    Sorry, I saw the name Dino..and ignored the rest of the post.

    Can't wait to see Fury go down.

    Thats ok. You can't even make a realistic case for Wlad because you know he doesn't have what it takes.

    I think the Wach fight is a good template, Wlad vs big slow hw and giving him a beating. Maybe George would struggle to absorb the shots over 12. He might survive the 12 though, depends how kind Wlad is.

    Foreman is the one that exhausts
    He had big stamina issues that the American press
    kept secret
    If George throws punches like ALI fight he gets KO'd by himself again- 8th-9th round or knocked out by a big punch that Ali didn't have.

    I'll just stick to calling Wlad fights right in the real world where it matters.

    Foreman in his second reign was 45 years old.

    Let's see how Wlad looks in the ring SIX YEARS FROM NOW.

    Probably won't be as good as George.
