    Just because his style in unfavorable to view doesn't mean you can deny his physical abilities. He taught to fight like that by his deceased trainer. Tough tittie.

    What I'm basically trying to say is that if you equipped both men with sensors on their hands that can determine the acceleration, and velocity of their hand while traveling back and forth, Wlad's hand would extend and retract quicker than Foreman's would. It's very simple.

    Yes it was an amateur (note the correct spelling) fight. The Sovs didn't let their fighters out into the real world at that time (lucky for them). I haven't watched it in awhile but I'm pretty sure they had the Rooskie at 6' 6".

    Maybe one of the heavy hitters around here has the info.

    and some overrated names that somebody may have heard of at one time make Foreman's "prime".

    People complain about the division sucking at this time?


    Foreman could beat Klitschko but Klitschko could also beat Foreman. There's a considerable size and ability difference between Wladimir Klitschko and the typical Foreman victim. Klitschko hits more effectively than Earnie Shavers and is a better boxer than Jimmy Young.

    Foreman was a beast, that can punch and take a shot. Wladomir would of put up a good fight until he caught one on the jaw. After that the fight would of been over.

    Foreman is not fast, or versatile enough to reach Wlad's chin.

    As Teddy Atlas once said, "What's the point of having big power if you can't reach your opponent."

    If Lyle can drop Foreman and almost knock hiss ass out, plus Jimmy Young schooling him... I think Wladimir has a shot at beating him. Actually I, and any non hater knows it. 6'6" 245lb puncher/boxer with an ATG jab and right hand with a left hook that ain't too shabby either. George thinks Lyle hit him hard...:lol:

    Foreman gets put out better than he was in Africa. George was NOT hard to hit and Klitschko isn't the guy you want thumping your skull. Speed and range plays a big part here.

    If that dude was 6'6, then George was 6'6 and a half. Nice try making up that lie. Please spell check this for me. Ydksab, that is painfully obvious.

    so anyone who thinks wlad gets pulverised by prme atg foreman, as he does with an old retired 37 year old in 2 rounds, is yearning for the 70s or doesn't like wlad?

    or is it that you don't like the facts. that's not a question btw.

    you have to show me that wlad who got pulverised in 2 by old retired nevercontender 37 year old doesn't get stopped by gold medallist undefeated ko specialist undisputed prime world champ George foreman.

    start with that, don't beat around the bush with crap.

    WFT? Did you actually just type 'six pack'?. Mother of all I can barely believe you did. this is not a bodybuilding contest. its a cardio full impact sport.
