    by far? :nut

    it's ok to believe this, but it's simply not true. If - at all - it is superior due to different technique - but not "far".

    I wonder what would happen if they let Wlad loose on some of the 190 pounders that George Foreman fought.

    Look at that shot Wlad landed on Botha, it totally deformed his skull.

    Foreman was in his prime in the 70's, when guys punched harder than they do now, so this is no contest really.

    Nah. Wlad's power is not comparable to Foreman's, not at all. Wlad doesn't hit as hard as Lewis did.

    Guys punched harder in the 70? Pls tell me your kidding....

    Foreman was a big hitter and a lump for 70's...
    He was a mummy that telegraphed his punches..

    The year is 2010...

    So no, not really.

    When you get into this kind of brutal power, you can't say one has more than another.

    I get a kick out of how the fighters from past decades are risen to a higher level merely cause they are from the past.............

    Foreman was a powerful KO puncher, but so is Wlad.........

    If you want to compare eras, as a whole..........the fighters today have better nutrition which can only result in more strength in the long run, overall.

    The man spent most of his early career knocking out cruiserweights...

    Comparing fighters from different areas is pure exercise in aids..
