Is Wlad's power Foremanesque?

Wlad's Euro-level power is superior to Foremans

 

Also Foreman was KOing much smaller men. In fact Moorer was a blown up lightheavy himself. Foreman just took more punches....some of the small men took his shots...........:deal

 

No, as you can see I'm not entirly impartial but I don't think he has Foremanesque power. It's formidable but totally different.
Maybe he's the biggest puncher in the current division, but I'm not sure of that either. And before anyone does, please don't start with Haye, he has no one punch KO power in HW to speak off.

I read a lot of speed = power, speed kills etc. here but if you look at Foremans mass/punchspeed (or lack thereof) I can't find any explaination why he punches that hard.
Shavers punched even harder by the way.

 

70s Foreman averaged about 215-217. Wlad career weight is above 240. :deal

 

I think that Foreman hit harder than Wlad but it isn't big difference. They both are top punchers.

 

well to be honest you probably wouldnt be able to tell the diffrence between geting hit by forman and wlad

both two strong ****ing punches what will break the glass jaws of esb posters

 

Who know? Not me... I think they're comparable in power...

 

Wlad does have great power. To me, that's undisputable. But the fact is, he's reluctant to use that power because he lacks confidence in his chin. In fact, his entire style is predicated around protecting his chin.

Foreman's style was seek and destroy.

 

I know who I'd rather watch...

 

George Foreman's power. hmmm.
You do know that Foreman's resume is littered with guys who have losing records and histories of going down early or going down to sub-par competition...
It's not to say that Foreman's KO record isn't impressive, it's that it's not any more impressive then Wlad's.

 

Young 229
Frazier 2 224
Lyle 226
Ali 220
Nortan 225

All in the 70's,You are incorrect about Foreman's weight.

 

it's possible. i'd say he hits harder than lewis did in his prime.

 

YOU CHECKED!?!?:bart
