    Frazier wouldn't land jack****. He'd be tied up and beaten down in a mismatch. Frazier would be helpless against *ANY* of the 240lbs modern day HWs. Bowe, Lewis, Vitali, Wlad all lay a horrendous, one-sided beating on Frazier.

    George's anyimosity toward defensive fighters is understandable. Jimmy Young made him look like a fool in front of the entire country.

    Wlads shows in Germany draft in past champions and project the images of them into the arena to remind the people what a great heavyweight is because they wont witness one when the bell rings.

    Without the theatrics, live music, over the tops ring walks and celeb guests -Wlads fights couldn't sell out town hall in Trier.

    Frazier bobed and came up with hooks to head and body. Big difference.

    Haye just wiggled his head around a bit and that was enough to get him through the distance without a single legit knock down.

    college graduates tend to take a more educated approach to boxing...but there are plenty that have fight in them.

    Ducking while moving forward against Wladimir? Didn't you see the Povetkin fight? You can't just keep going forward against an opponent who is that taller and bigger than you. If you are trying to imply that Frazier would have success against Klitschko, no, he doesn't have the reach, nor he could box against Wladimir, and rushing forward is not the way to beat him.

    George would not but WLad would:hi: Wach isnt defensive wizard he is borderline BUM and he went 12 rounds with WLad but he will stop Foreman in first couple of rounds:rofl:patsch
    You are talking as defensive fighter cant get knocked out, you show how biased you are Haye was defensive but if Wlad actually attacked he would have stopped him, so dont write that Wlad didnt stop him because he was defensive Wlad didnt stop him because he has safety pin in his head.
    Dont get why Wlad fans just dont admit what is obvious(safety pin) Steward had to yell at him like he is 15 year old kid to stop Chambers :patsch
    With Wlads talent, skill and
    This content is protected
    no way should fight like Mormeck be stinker with 16 clinches in round one, Wlad has the skill to step back and land bombs but his safety first mentality is stronger than his skill and power...only way Mormeck fight should have gone is like Lewis vs Golota, so we can say ok he fought shot CW but at least he destroyed him in one but no:tired

    Can i see Wlad winning UD yes but i can also see him getting KTFO, but to say he KOs Foreman easy is biased for sure, Wlad does not have killer instinct if he did not posses amazing power that he has he would not stop anyone, give him Vitali power he would be nothing give Vitali Wlads power very few HW ever would see 5th round.

    I love Foreman....but the 70s version who walked thru the toughest fighters of the era was a crude fighter, who makes Sam Peter look like Floyd Mayweather.

    Do I think Wlad could handle 70s Foreman.....idk.....the current Wlad would certainly stink the joint out for sure.....but remember that Wlad is 6'6 250 and Foreman was only 6'4 225. The strength difference would be a huge factor, and nobody ever hit Foreman with a jab that was stronger than most guys straight R hand.
    I think Foremans chin wouldve got him thru the jab and grab and that big George wouldve caught Wlad or wore him down mid rounds and got a stoppage.

    But china chinned Norton wouldve been KO'd ala Austin.....Shavers, with his iron chin woulda been a swollen mess after 3-4 rds of 1-2's and then wore down with the grabimir style.

    I think Ali wouldve probably been able to last the disstance and get the decision, just cuz he couldve beat Wlad to the punch and his iron chin wouldve allowed for him to fight from both the back and the front foot.

    Wlad would toy with Patterson much like he did Mormeck, and Liston was a garbage man whom a guy with only a jab like Pulev wouldve dominated for a points win. Hell, didnt Ali KO the bum early.:think
