    Let me get this right, Wlad who in the past has stuggled and froze up against aggresive punchers no matter how old, limited or out of shape, should be favored over a prime Foreman, right?

    Chambers is slow and immobile and not slick at all.

    Guys in the 80's like Tucker make him look like a rock.

    Slick.......get the **** outta here.

    Mother ****er is like a bloated zephlin.

    Foreman is a very underrated boxer. He had a great jab and vicious body work. I wouldn't count George out against any fighter. And he'd certainly destroy most of the top ten of the last 20 years.

    Even Old George would be a heavy favorite, imo, over any HW today

    In his prime? ****in forget it, they all fall inside of five rounds against him

    This is true, but these are possibly those posters that are very young and using their parents computer without permission.

    Or it's possible that Chambers has no punch, no footwork, and his defense ain't slick as it's just a high guard.

    That ain't slick.

    Sorry.....

    Your are correct and The Great is right about Big George KOing Chambers. That is not **** talking. We are talking about a fantasy fight and if we could have a prime Big George fight in this era, he would clean out the division including the Klits. Big George could actually box and did go to the body. As soon as Vlad got hit partially, he would freeze up and get KO'ed and then say someone put something illegal in his water bottel. We forget that don't we. Vitali would stand a chance, but I truly believe Vitali would get cute and try to go toe to toe and get dropped hard. My opinion on how it would go and no I am not a Klitsko hater.

    His name today would be 'Medium' George Foreman.

    Foreman would be the undisputed-undefeated heavyweight champion of the world.

    People are looking too much at his fights post Ali. That wasn't the same fighter in that ring. Foreman had confidence issues after the Ali fight and lost his aura of invincibility. If this was Pre-Ali Foreman then he would be Undisputed and would destroy everyone in this division. He stops both Klitschko Brothers.

    I think Foreman rages thru this division looking unbeatable, just like he did in a much stronger 70's division until he ran into Ali. Slick boxers were no problem for him in his day, and anyone who comes to him gets annihilated.

    **** the state of the division was stronger when George became champ for the second time than it is now, except that Wlad is better than Moorer. The top 10 was better then than it is now.
