How does the older, wiser, slower and even bigger Foreman who could still finish - the Mark 2 George if you like - who lost to Morrison, Holyfield, got lucky against the unfortunate Axel Schulz but famously slotted Moorer do against the first version of Wlad before Steward got down to some major redesign work. The Mark 1 Wlad if you like.

It is all a bit specific but deliberately so to avoid lots of deviation......the old Foreman who could hit like hell, but plodded too gets put in with the younger Wlad (also a hitter) but who is deeply vulnerable to a hard combination and also prone to tire easily and can gets himself backed-up.

Wlad would be winning this in a one-sided fashion until he got caught and KOed.

Forgot 1 very important + for Forman. His chin.

I think Wlad would pound the crap out of him, and win a wide UD.

Young Klitschko would beat old Foreman.
Wladimir was a very good Heavyweight and would have been too youthful and too smart for an old George, and too big.

You know your boxing mate....but the thing for me is this.

Foreman was a huge man as MK2 and very strong with it........physically he was still able to shove even big and robust and younger guys around like Pierre Coetzer, really put them in their place.

I don't think a young Wlad bosses Foreman about so much......in the clinches or bodies coming together in the middle of the ring, it could be quite even.

There's also the fact that Foreman - even whilst not working for whole rounds and plodding at times - retained the ability to land a quality, sickening shot and also the bomb.

The quantity was not there, but when the shots landed they hurt and they did a lot of damage.

There's a case to be made for Foreman taking a lot of shots on his arms, conserving energy and Wlad not pacing himself properly which was a problem as a MK1 contender. And then the uppercut changes everything.

Foreman by ko.

Early or you think it'd take a while? A Michael Moorer esque, losing all the way up until he wins seems most likely here.

If he's gonna win that is. I'd think he wouldn't.

5 or 6 rounds of wlad kicking his ass should do it.
