I'm only asking this question because I saw this posted on boxing scene forums so I gotta ask it to my ring gang brethren because y'all aren't as retarded as boxing scene forums are. I think all of us here will almost be unanimously in agreement who would win this fight because I kinda feel like one fighter is tailor made to get annihilated by the other, but we'll see maybe I'm tripping. I'll reserve my analysis for after we get a few opinions.

The 70s prime version of George knocks Wlad out. No way does Wlad handle that type of pressure and not get bullied or caught. The 90s version of George would most likely lose a clear decision to Wlad. Wlad would still most likely very conservatively and not take a real chance of trying to get George out of there.

My thoughts exactly. 70’s George was just to powerful and athletic. All it would take is a few of those hammer blows and Vlads technique would go out the window.
90’s George is still dangerous and powerful but so much slower. Vlad would be able to jab him to a clear decision While staying out of harms way. He would be too smart to get into a brawl with the old man

I think Wlad would keep him at bay with the jab and get a decision. Perhaps Wlad would get knocked down and suffer some scares, but I see him pulling off a win.

This ging to be unpopular I can tell but I go with the Wlad stoppage. George is greater all-time and this might be blasphemous to some but feels like he's a good stylistic matchup for the prime version of Wlad under Steward. Wlad's bread and butter was keeping you outside with the jab, peppering you with it then throwing the right or the left hook when the opportunity arises and clinching when the fight still gets on the inside.

Foreman liked to parry with his hands, oftentimes he extended his arms and applied head/shoulder control on his opponents, always keeping them unstable and subsequently throwing monster shots at them.

The thing is he couldn't do that against Wlad imo cause Wlad has a longer reach and he's also taller and without the possibility to control his opponent's shoulders and head Foreman would struggle a lot with getting into his favorable range without taking hella punishment on the way in. He didn't have the agile footwork and upper body work or a tight guard to stop those Wlad shots from landing imo. Foreman's beard was solid but he's been hurt by Ali, Lyle, and others and Wlad was a huge puncher so I can def see him hurting Foreman.

If he could force a fight though, he'd stop Wlad but I think if he'd try too hard he would get stopped before that could happen or he would have to fall back and lose a decision. Talking about the prime version of Foreman though it's unlikely that he'd budged, so I go with the Wlad stoppage Don't kill me lol :whoa:

I look at the fighters Foreman had trouble with and Wlad posesses none of those qualities. Wlad is flat footed and while he has a good jab he has no inside game and while he is slightly taller and longer physically George is much stronger, so if Wlad tries to clinch George which he was known to do I think he would get manhandled. Not to mention George got stopped because he got gassed, Wlad got stopped because he had a glass jaw. I don't see Wlad beating any version of George, either version probably stops him.
