    George Foreman, without a doubt.

    He's no Sultan Ibragimov, David Haye, Calvin Brock, Jean Marc Mormeck or Alex Leapai.

    I'll go big george. Early on in Wlads career he was reckless and left himself open alot. Foreman catches him Sanders style and drops him 2 or 3 times before being stopped

    George flattens Wlad. Just like Corrie Sanders did.

    Jorge Foreman wins by way of KO. Foreman's punching power will cause a serious trouble for Wlad throughout the fight.

    Foreman k/o. Got to go with foreman. His cv pretty much shows he was a class above what came after him bearing in mind he came back at 40 years old, years out the ring, out of shape and still competetive enough with the best around.

    Nothing wlad showed matched that. His era looks weaker everytime you look at the challengers he faced. We,ll never know but based on that above...it points towards a foreman win for me

    George Foreman in prime, 1973-1974 would fight Wlademar Klitchko like he was fighting in the 1968 Mexico City Olympic games. George would stick out that stiff left jab, setting Klitchko for that deadly right hand, but Wlad is not going to look like an olympian. he would also be coming forward, firing his combos in this bout. Foreman is directed by his corner of D. Sadler and Archie Moore to look for an opening for his right hand. In round 4, Foreman lands his right hand to the jaw of Klitchko, he hits the canvas, taking the full ten count given by the referee.

    Wlad too smart, too quick.

    BTW, this has been done numerous times.

    Both of these guys had 2.careers: foreman: a young burly strongman wild with a big punch from America. 2) a mature more experienced ring knowledged veteran. Klitschko wlad: an offensive of a hw who knocked everyone out but also had huge gaps in his defence 2) a more defensive minded vet standing behind his jab and a one two with concussive power and using his body to lean weight on his opponents.


    So young George vs young wlad: foreman by ko, old George vs young wlad: foreman had too much ring generalship plus he proved he could get beat to a pulp like in the holyfield fight, but being able to get by not doing shyt except set up his big right hand after his jab, I go with foreman all day


    Wlad as the older version loses to a young boy George.
    Wlad under stewards tutelage, too disciplined, would control distance and outbox the old champ.
