    lots of people thought lots of things about Muhammad Ali. Didn't stop hi from proving them wrong. You are it seems one of these people.

    Prime Foreman would destroy most modern heavyweights within 4-5 rounds. He threw too many punches and even a defensive Wlad wouldn't be enough. Foreman was Sanders 2.0, it took a genius like Ali to beat him. Wlad is smart, he'd most likely clinch Foreman and counter, but Foreman had much better chin than Wlad, in any era. Foreman was a two fisted attack, Wlad wouldn't be able to pull the rope a dope, he barely survived a prime Peter he won't against Foreman. He'd drop Foreman, but he ain't knocking him out. Wlad hasn't faced good, aggressive fighters since Sanders or Peter. Foreman Tko 7-8 rounds. Against Vitali, 50-50. Vitali only one smart enough to match wits with Ali or Tunney.

    Against 90's Foreman, even that fat and slower version would go the distance. He was very good with the jab and much wiser, Granpa George outboxes 99% of today's heavyweights. Wlad by SD.

    Fixed that for you.

    Foreman would get destroyed by any modern day SHWs. He was good in the 70s against pencil-neck CWs, totally outmatched in modern days.

    Foreman wouldn't land a single punch on Wlad. Way too slow and crude.

    pretty fast my ass

    Foreman was a slowpoke, always was, always will be

    overrated power against cruiserweights, bums, or a combination of both

    he was considered a monster back in the day, nowadays he'd be called ¨boy george¨ instead of ¨big george¨

    Wlad would box his ears off and manhandle him like a rag doll in the clinches

    I think Wlads height and jab would give GF problems, so It be a very good interesting fight. But... I'd bet on Foreman.

    Wlad kos him and would make foreman miss all day. Wlad has serious power and would counter foreman.

    today it seems that only way you can have close fight with wlad (wining 2-3 rounds Lol) is going in safe mode and run away from him.

    Zaire-Foreman was by far his worst form pre-comeback.

    He fought like an absolute idiot en route to losing every single round then getting stopped with a relatively light combo.
