    How would Wlad do if he fought Ali,Foreman,Frazier,Norton,Young,etc...
    Would he still be the best,Top5,top 10 maybe?
    Could he decision Ali and Foreman and knock out Frazier and Norton in the early rounds?His power ,technique and not so great chin would make for spectacular and fascinating fights.

    I think we'd see a mixed bag of results if he were to fight those men. I wouldn't pick him to beat most of those guys though. I think Ali and Young would have outboxed him, while Foreaman would have knocked him into next year. He might have had a good shot against Norton and Frazier though, given his size, and power. He'd have to be careful with smoke. Joe had a left that could leave him seeing stars if he got careless.

    I think he'd beat Norton. Wlad would be the fourth best of that era.

    Is it really possible to outboxe Wlad. He's so tall and strong with a fantastic jab and amazing power. I think he could beat anyone but he can also get beat by all ATW.

    Wlad owns all but Ali.

    Frazier is too little and Wlad's footwork is too good.

    Foreman is too lumbering, gasses, and gets frustrated.

    The rest stand no chance.

    Vlad would have knocked Ali out also.

    Another thread for the Wlad nuthuggers to wet there lips about, I would only favor Wlad over Norten and Young, Foreman would expose his glass jaw quick and in a hurry, Ali, I dont even have to explain, and Frazier would hang in there long enough to land a big hook and put Wlad into a panic attack by the 6 round, I do however see Joe going down once or twice, but never giving up and hanging in there to get the knockout.

    We get WALD V Ali threads from time to time, they're usually amusing...the same nuthuggers will show up talking their ****, best to just torment them a bit.

    There were no fighters who could hold their own against Vlad in those days. Ali was good, but Vlad would have knocked him out, too big, quick, Vlad has the tools to beat everyone is boxing history.
