George Foreman: Wladimir will not leave much of a legacy in boxing

Wlad will probably be making defences for the next 5 years. It's rubbish to say he will not have a legacy. Foreman doesn't half talk a load of ****. He said Lewis is the greatest heavyweight ever. GTFO of here!

 

Wlad is already a top 15 ATG at Heavyweight, & in the next few years i think he'll enter my top 10.

 

whatever legacy wlad leaves it won't be anything compared to georges

 

I used to have respect for George Foreman, until he sold out to get his tv show back. He's probably saying what they tell him to say now.

The amazing Klitschko brothers are the greatest heavyweights of all time. No one has ever dominated a sport like the Klitschkos dominate boxing, since Babe Ruth ruled baseball in the 1920's.

 

"It doesn’t matter if his opponent is big or small, he will never take any chances. He’ll probably go down as one of the most reluctant Heavyweight Champions ever."

This I can agree with, and the main reason I'm not a Wlad fan. He has been very dominant in recent years, but in a very poor era for heavyweights. Vitali has more of a legacy than Wlad, who will never be number 1 IMO while big brother is still fighting.

 

George Foreman respects iron chinned punchers above all else so I understand his opinion, but I do not agree with it.

A fighter has to use the tools he was born with, for Wlad to try and fight like George Foreman would be as stupid as George Foreman to try and fight like Ali did.

 

I think you need to watch more heavyweights. And more sport.

 

I think George has a preference for fighters that use all of there offensive tools to their fullest extent, which is why he thinks so highly of Lewis. Wlad has an impressive offensive arsenal himself, but he hardly ever uses it to it's fullest extent anymore. And is, as Foreman said, too defensive for his own good the majority of the time.

Wlad will however have a pretty good legacy when all is said and done.

 

Big George is a ****ing twat.

Took one too many blows to the head.

He had haye vs wlad lvl @ rd 10....

Need we say more..,

 

George is 100% correct.

 

He was bashing Wlad a few weeks ago.

I don't know where all this talk is coming from between him and LL.

Do I sense a hint of jealousy?

 

Wlad and Vitali holding all the major belts puts them in the HOF and both having a big legacy.

 

Since the definition of the term legacy is really subjective, this is merely George's opinion.

And what consitutes a good legacy can mean different things to different people, so George is merely stating that Wlad's career won't fall under George's definition of a good legacy.

Merely an opinion. We all have them.

 

I think you need to stop parroting what the talking heads on your tv set tell you.
