This would be a good match though Wanderlei isnt a top muay Thai fighter but once the clinch is in its over but if Foreman catches him wandi would be dreaming of Cro cops left high kick. what do you guys think i know the speed advantage is on wandi's side but the power is on Foremans side and better hand skills not so far away from wand's fast flurries. discuss

No boxer can beat a top MMA fighter. Wand would just take him down and sub him.

If wandy even thought about standing with foreman his night would be over. One shot from Foreman, Wandy would be off in la la land. But i think Wandy could beat him on the ground, like harlem said take him down sub him

but Hunt can stand and trade, stop the clinch, defend leg kicks, and sprawl a lot better than Foreman can

and even defending all those extra elements well, Hunt still got outstruck

against Wand, yes.

because Foreman will sling hands in the pocket, but Wand will be reaching to throw knees and might back up to throw kicks. Foreman can't deal with that, and subsequently his ability to sling in the pocket will be lessened

Come on my dude, were talking about George Forman here. If the fight is standing Wand would get Koed. He aint kneeing Forman and KOing him, it just aint going to happen. Forman has one of the best chins in boxing history. He's been hit Briggs, Holyfields, Tommy Gunn, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, and Micheal Moorers best punches and didn't go anywhere. He's only been dropped in 2 fights.

If Wand stands with him, no knee in the world will save him ass against a prime Forman. Forman lifts people off the ground with punches, just look at that Frazier fight.
