    No he wouldn't. Watch some of prime Foreman's fights. When he is up againsta guy who will stick andmove, he doesn't look great. Give me one guy who had the skills and movement of Klitschko, who didn't make it through one round against Foreman?

    I rest my case.

    A Foreman early blowout isn't guaranteed at all here, but a stoppage victory for him is.

    Wlad would most likely beat the "old Foreman" though.

    The majority is right on the money here.

    Wladimir Klitschko is a great boxer, but he will be hit at least once by George Foreman flush, and his chin can not take a Foreman shot. A lot of heavyweights in history would get knocked out too, so it isn't a slight on Wladimir so much as it's a credit to Foreman's power.

    Wlads chin and toughness is extremely weak for a number 1 heavyweight, but his offense is downright amazing, he is truly one of the few fighters that can win strictly behind the jab. As a so called Wlad hater myself, I must admit, his jab is up there with Holmes and Lewis'.

    I see young George looking into his eyes during the staredown and making his whole body tremble in fear, Foreman had that effect on his oppenents, with Wlads lack of toughness, I could really see him getting weak in the knees. I feel Foreman would come out swinging for the fences, Wlad will panic and hold as usual, but George wont stop punching, as we seen when him Ali fought, everytime Ali would try to hold him behind the head, he still never quit punching.

    In the end Foreman would win by KO, either 1st or 2nd round, guys like Foreman and Tyson are Wlads worse nightmare, very aggressive, powerful, good chinned fighters.

    Foreman was off and on. He was great vs Norton and Fraizer, but average vs Lyle and Young. Neither Lyle or Young is as good as Wlad.

    This is a pick em' fight. Fir the Wlad haters out there, Foreman's defense, speed, and stamina were issues in some of his fights.

    I hope so, Wlads glass chin wouldnt take him past the 3rd round with Foreman, Sam Peter made Wlad go down more times than hoss at a gay pride parade, I could only imagine what a more powerful and aggressive Foreman would do to him?:think
