    Young Foreman was a extremely feared individual, he was the Sunny Liston of his day in many respects. Wlad is not good against pressure fighters with power, which Foreman had that and then some. Wlad has went down or out and had a panic attack against every big puncher he has faced Sanders, TOS, Peter, and Brewster. Once Wlad panics, as history shows, Foreman will smell fear and Georges killer instinct will be too much for the weak chinned Wlad to handle.

    Well said,why is there this admiration for two boring upright east european amateur style boxers ,I long for the day when Americans produce a charismatic tall heavyweight stylish fast moving jabber with a thunderous punch because that the only place the he will come from and that is what the heavyweight scene is all about

    Im British and call myself european but I know where heavyweight boxing lives and breathes and it aint east europe!!

    old foreman lacked the speed to give either any prob, the young lacked the skills. Its funny how people always look into the past as the "good old days" and overrate it.

    I would favor Foreman against both, but Foreman had trouble against taller fighters. I am unsure whether George could beat both Klitschkos on the same night.
