    could you picture..frazier,liston and foreman walking wlad down??yes i could picture it..and the fact there so ****ing slow i could picture them eating jabs and huge right hands all night all 3 of them would be stopped facing wlad or vitali..like i said before mr foreman is underestimating how strong these 2 brothers actually are..

    Of Wlad's 50 fights there was only one who you could say walked through him - Sanders. In my opinion Sanders has his number .

    They could, but they may also get frustrated and tired against the guy, none of whom would have ever faced a guy as big and strong as wlad

    theres no way they could walk thru wlad they wernt strong enough or big enough they would have been peppered with jabs and rights untill they quit or got kod..wlad moves to much for foreman or liston to ko him.and fraizier just keeps walking into shots all night getting knocked back..i actually think wlad would beat them easy..now ali.thats another story

    Foreman's Frankenstein footwork and rock em sock em robots winging hooks would be too much for either Klitschko to handle.

    he was to slow throwing those big shots, even in his prime. Wlad, Vitali would keep their distance and move out of the way easily. And if he does come coles enough a 250 pound Vitali and a 245 pound Wlad would easily bully and outmuscle a much smaller 220 pound Foreman.

    +Foreman has a none existant head movement. His face would be smushed by Wlads jab and 1-2 combinations

    I don't think Foreman would land anything meaningful on Wlad and would eat jabs and straight rights consistently until falling over. I could see him having a bit more success against Vitali but he would be brutalized and KO'd nonetheless.

    Who had Tyson beaten when he challenged Berbick who was any good? Who had Vitali beaten when he challenged Lewis who was any good? Who did Rademacher beat before he challenged Patterson? Who did Norton beat before he challenged Ali?

    Should I go on?

    Dozens of challengers in the supposed "great eras" never beat anyone good before they got title shots. This is nothing new and thus the entire point is moot.

    Without the benefit of hindsight it's difficult to assess if Chambers, Solis or Arreola turn out to be good fighters over the next 10 years. Vitali lost to Lewis and turned out to be a good fighter, this giving Lewis a good win for his resume.

    What if Chambers (just hypothetically) turns out to be a decent belt holder in 5-6 years, after the K brothers retire. Won't that improve the value of Wlad's win? IMO it would.

    Foreman got beat by every boxer he fought,even Tommy Morrison and Lou Saverese beat the old version and light-heavy Peralta gave him trouble...Big George could hit but he could not stop what he could not hit....as far as Haye say what you want but the guy can hit not nice of George to undermine him or Wlad...Let George get hit on the smacker by Haye and he may go down .....Haye was about his size but 10 lbs lighter fro the Klitschko fight....Young dropped Foreman
