    I think peak (young?) Foreman loses to both. He might beat Wlad one time out of three. Might. But I think Vitali simply has his number. I think Wlad stops him after halfway and Vitali wins on points, clearly, it wouldn't even be close.

    Wlad is too disciplined to get caught by such an orthodox fighter who stands square and throws wide punches. I think he is strong enough to handle the clinch but dont think he'd have to go there too often, and if he did it would be on his terms. His jab, straight right and left hook are as hard if not harder than anyone George has fought and he hits consistently hard, educated, efficient. He busts George up first half of the fight and stops him late. George doesn't have fast enough hands to catch Wlad, he doesn't box as well, he is too wild yet too predictable. And he doesn't have the engine for a fight like this.

    Vitali will engage with George and simply run away with every round after four even ones. He will have no fear of George's power and will catch George all night with those herky jerky arm punches whilst avoiding Foreman's big punches. George will have some success to the body but it will be like hitting Alis body and will have little effect. George is a sorry sight by the end and finishes exhausted and battered on his feet.

    Can't keep turtle speed Peters at the end of his jab so has to grab hold of him to stay out of trouble. He could have lost that fight against Peter if he wasn't allowed to desperately hold on every time his boxing skills failed him.

    When he fought Povetkin , the amount of times he illegally clinched was the amount of times his boxing skills failed. Which was about every 10 seconds. Spend that much time in close contact against Foreman and you better have an iron chin and supreme mental fortitude.

    The necessity to hold on so desperately against low skilled guys like Peter comes from having a fragile mental state, glass chin and poor stamina . Nobody truly believes a man with those mental and physical deficiencies can defeat Foreman in a close quarters battle. :qmeparto:
