    Wlad had problems with Sanders (who was the same size as prime Foreman) early round assault but he would somehow survive Foreman's? Riggghhhhtttt. Foreman's strength, chin, power and aggression was Sanders X 3.
    Theres a bunch of all time top heavies Wlad could do a number on but Foreman aint one of them. In fact stylistically Foreman would be the worst matchup for Wlad.

    Foreman is nowhere near Sanders in terms of speed.

    Sanders was 6'5" tall.

    Foreman is 6'3" tall.

    Sanders was a lefty

    Foreman is right handed.

    So since you decided to ignore my point and change the subject, I'll take that as an admission that you lied about George having knocked out a 6'6 Eastern European fighter before. Now that we have that established, let's move on to your Corrie Sanders crap. Corrie and George are nothing alike, that didn't happen in what anyone would refer to as Wlads prime, and that is exactly the experience Wlad had that would make it almost ipossible for George to get lucky with his punchers chance. By that reasoning George would blast out Lennox in 1 rd also because Mccall and Rahman kod him.
    I think all the reasonable evidence of film, height, weight, style and opponents suggests George would rightfully be a huge underdog in a prime vs prime fight with Wladimir. To say George would stroll across the ring and blast him out is based on nothing but a dislike for Wladimir, or a love affair with George imo. Of course, we'll never know for sure, so I'll never get the chance to laugh at your absurd opinion and say I told you so.
    Btw, what was your prediction on the Wlad/Haye fight?

    Sanders is 6'4" but stood straight up due to a stiff bad back.
    Foreman is around 6'3 1/2 there's nothing in it.

    exactly, and sanders hand speed was also in incredible. Lewis sayed that he was happy, because he didint have to fight with sanders.

    the only thing you just established is that you are replying to the wrong person. Someone else was arguing Geoges 6'6" opponent, not me.
    When writing a reply, you need to direct it at the person you are replying to, and not reply to somebody elses post's content. Or this could get very messy.

    no, lennox proved they laded lucky punches by blasting these prime fighters out better.
    Wlad never did this with his 37 year old retiree nevercontender who destroyed him inside 300 seconds, he ran in fear of a rematch.

    To me, forman has the best chance out of all the 70's fighters to beat wlad, an I think if they had a trilogy, I think wlad loses one of them, not more then that, but more then likely one.

    Wlad going to have range, an he is going to keep the fight in the center of the ring, forman not going to be able to stop that, but I think the second fight wlad after winning by either a good size UD or late tko, he relaxes a little in the second fight, an lets George land a few more shots then he did in there first fight, an that will be enough to catch wlad later rounds with a stoppage. 3rd fight, wlad is not screwing around, he keeps his range, lands his jab an right till the fight is stopped out of concern for georges health, wlad winning every second of every round in the 3rd fight, as what happens when wlad doesn't screw around ...

    Great black hope......lovers, get a grip, wlad has lost less rounds in his career then ali lost to "no chin" Nortan in there trilogy. Forman had power in both hands, but not at all the level of wlad.

    also to sadden you boys even more, vitali would beat him also, but I say he takes every fight in the trilogy..:deal

    Ah, I see. You're a kid. That explains a lot as far as why you are so absurdly misguided. My bad. Good luck.

    Nah, not according to the logic around here. Lewis got dropped twice, and never was in good enough condition to continue. 2 pure, one punch knock out losses. Therefore, Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Joe Louis, either Klitschko, Eirnie Shavers, David Tua, Tommy Morrison, Corrie Sanders, Sonny Liston, Max Baer, and any other heavyweight in history who could punch a bit would stroll across the ring and blast Lewis out in seconds.
    At least, that's what I gather from the moronic logic used by a lot of the posters here.

    Ah, so Lewis' one punch ko losses in both halves of his career were flukes, but the multiple punch beat downs that Wladimir suffered in the earlier part of his career are proof positive that George Foreman, who went the distance or lost to over half the 215 lb and up fighters he fought, would stroll across the ring and blast Wladimir out in seconds. I get your point now.
    So let meask you this...if you really think deep and are honest with yourself, would you describe your opinions as racially biased, nationality biased, or just not to smart in general?

    He's a white liberal. What else could you expect from someone of his ilk. :roll:

    He's racist against his own race.

    Foreman lost to Morrison, and he didn't have the chin, skills, speed, or height that Wlad had.

    Wlad would annihilate any version of Foreman for he was to slow and easy to counter.

    I usually vote left, I belive that if your against gay *** you should stop having it, and I believe that health care is a basic human right in modern countries that can afford it. I don't see how someones voting tendancies or political views hampers their ability to intelligently watch boxing film. Well, that's probably wishfull thinking. I have yet to meet or hear a black person who is a big fan of Manny Pac.

    i dont think foreman could land anything, he is also tiny compared so wlads superior skills and his length would make this a very easy fight for me to pick wlad by UD or late TKO
