    Ali TKO14
    I see Wlad being on points due to Ali respecting his power and not throwing enough, whilst Wlad's doing some heavy clinching. But Wlad's stamina isn't good enough to go 15 and he ain't stopping Ali. I see Ali's bodyshots really being notable in the 13th and 14th where I'd take Ali to stop him.
    Wlad TKO10, Joe would be evil to deal with in a clinch so I see Wlad boxing at range before Louis gets overly agressive like he did against Conn and gets caught cold and finished by Wlad, who has the size and skill to keep Louis away.
    Wlad KO7
    Rocky's too small, Wlad has killer power and would catch Rocky coming in with a banging left hook or right hand.
    I'd take Larry be stoppage over 15 whilst being down on points, like Ali.
    Wlad's stamina isn't the best so I think he'd definitely gas over 15, Holmes wouldn't and was good enough to force a stoppage. I'd pick Wlad over 12 however.
    Holmes TKO14
    Wlad UD12, too classy boxer with too much range.
    Lewis KO3
    Lewis and Steward notice Wlads timid underfire and take him out early.
    Foreman KO3, explosive fighters destroy Wlad, that's his big weakness.
    Klitschko UD12.
    4-4

    I could see Wlad outpointing Foreman during his comeback, but see him losing to everybody else on the list.

    Ali was all wrong for Wlad and would hurt him worse than Corrie Sanders did. Ali ate big tall fighters like Wlad up.

    Louis would murder Wlad. If Sam Peter can put Wlad on his back several times Louis would finish him.

    Marciano would most likely have a hard time early on, since Wlad would try to clinch and lean on him the whole fight. However, unlike Povetkin Marciano would cheat back and adjust to Wlad and this time Wlad would be the one getting worn out.

    Larry was just as dirty as Wlad, so Wlad’s clinching and wrestling wouldn’t work on Larry. I see Larry oupointing Wlad.

    Holyfield from the early 90’s when he kept his weight under 210 would beat Wlad. However, the Holyfield from the mid to late 90’s that was coming in around 220 lbs would most likely take a loss to Wlad, since his speed and work rate weren’t the same.

    Lennox would most likely stop Wlad.

    Young George would batter Wlad.

    As usual George , great post . And agree with all assessments . Wlads style of fighting proved successful for him most of the time in his era , but up against some ATG s he'd find him self lacking in a few ways .

    I think confidence is one of his issues
    He never seemed relaxed under fire and it cost him against Peter, Joshua, Sanders and Brewster
    His stamina issues were highlighted by Purity. He'd be alot more successful if it was over 12 imo, picking up wins against Ali and Holmes

    I think ur right ,it was confidence .As he got older he seemed to get a little more sure of himself and wracked up the wins . But against AJ he showed at times again , looks of pure panic and as well against Fury .

    I agree with everything you've said iffy on Louis BUT we both know he'd lose to the real Luis.

    He beats Marciano, and probably the old version of George. So 2-8

    You don't think he beats old Foreman or Marciano?

    48 year old foremn would be his best chance but younger? I see foreman catching him eventually.

    This "old foreman" thing is all wrong anyway. We never do a a 48 year old wlad vs the rest because even bums would knock that out 8-0.

    I see only see him beating Marciano who was probably too small.
