    not relevant. amateur career was short & not relevant for top world pro level. he got a bit luck in decision on Olympic against Cuban also. olympic is only 3 round with headgear fight! it equal nothing for world professional experience. Joshua was talent but raw. He did 18 pro fights only Whyte & Breazeale took him after round 3! To round 7! His 'world champion' for win with Charles Martin & Dom Breazeale & Eric Molina!
    This is Laugh Out Loud!

    But he outlast Wlad, experienced Wlad K .. how? because Wlad was finish, no trigger, no sharp punch. Fade against the opponent who hardly even saw after 3 round! Never could this happen with old Foreman!

    I'm guessing that nobody actually bothered to look at the two clips I posted.

    Foreman was getting his ears boxed off in a fight against a cherrypick. Schulz could have easily gotten the decision with other judges.

    Wlad fought against a bigger, younger man who would have turned Old man Foreman and Schulz inside out and very nearly knocked AJ out.

    People that think Old Foreman could beat any Steward version of Klitschko are smoking their socks.

    Old Foreman would have been a perfect opponent for Wlad. Slow hands, slow reactions, and most importantly, slow feet. Foreman would have been eating jabs like Walmart had a "buy one get a pallet free" special on them, and his own ponderous punches would have been whiffing air most of the night. Hell, Wlad might even KO him late if Foreman looked soft and gassed enough.

    you guys over-rate AJ .

    Wlad looks average with under average Bryant Jennings & did nothing with Tyson Fury, NOTHING. fights 2 years before AJ. but he is supposed to be good for losing to AJ, who was wrecked a few fights later against obesity man Ruiz. At 41 years old Foreman look better. you think anyone think old Wlad would go 12 round with peak Holyfield? silly to even think he could.

    Funny man.
    maybe you are in the denial. wlad
    with Jennings, Fury & Joshua is not impressive fighter. 1 average win with average or less challenge, 2 loss, outpoint by 9 punch a round with Fury, outlast by stamina chinny inexperience at distance Joshua. sorry for the truth.

    How about Pulev? Pulev kind of resembled Old Foreman but was better at winning rounds.

    Wlad with Pulev is better by far than Wlad with Joshua. that is for sure. but
    Pulev does not hit like Foreman power. Pulev with peak Holyfield? he gets crushed. Pulev at even his own peak with Moorer for example? he should lose. Pulev is not special . we only know him better than Chisora plodder but what else of his level? I like Wlad as champion in prime but beating Pulev age 38 prove not much because Pulev is maybe not so much good. and he Wlad has clear deterioration in next 3 fight to AJ.
    Foreman agw of 41 more durable with more 'in the tank'. but this is ultimately only truth according to mine own opinion. we can disagree

    Jennings Fury and Joshua would all have beaten Old Foreman.

    Old Foreman got a gift against Shultz who is nowhere in the history of boxing.

    Fury and AJ were champions.

    Schultz should have been champion two times. against old Foreman & once against Botha. "nowhere in history of boxing" but you keep mention him!

    Foreman was 46 with Schultz. Wlad at 46 is nowhere in boxing & that is saying it accurate

    so age 41 v age 41. make sense. Foreman was winning still against average or under average knocking them out & going distance full with prime peak Holyfield around this same age as Wlad cannot last with Joshua who is nothing to Holyfield actually.
