    Vlad really used his jab well almost to the point of boring at the end of his career, but he won. I think Foreman stops Vlad in a very tough fight, but Vitali might win a decision..

    If you think Wlad was a human octopus against inferior fighters to Foreman, what would he turn into against Foreman?

    The Klieckoes didn't have the skills of Ali They didn't have the skills of Young either. Foreman could get ko fighters with every power punch in the dictionary also.

    They have the size and mobility and defense to not get hit with Foreman's uppercuts. Anyone that gave Foreman problems in his first or second career took away that punch.
    so I say anyone taking away Foreman's uppercuts like a Holmes or a Tyson Fury or a Lennox Lewis or a Klitschko is going to give Foreman problems.

    Obviously you disagree. And I disagree with your assertions as well.

    They are different fighters with different strengths and weakness so refer to them individually.
    Wlad in particular took the punch away by holding on like a human squid.
    Foreman tears through WK like a cream cake , even in Germany where's he's allowed to back hump his opponents as much as he likes.
    Put the fight in a neutral venue , with a fair ref and the fight doesn't go past 2 round , as WK can't fight off the back foot.
    Foremans punch vs WK glass chin. Doesn't take a genius to figure out the result.

    And your still going on about Foreman's uppercuts as if its the only punch he had in his arsenal.That means to me at least your knowledge of Foreman is limited to the Frazier and Norton ko's . If that's the case we really don't have much to discuss.
