    i'm probably the only one who'd give vitali a good shot against foreman with his chin and seemingly limitless stamina. having the 2nd best plus/minus rating beaten only by mayweather by a few points, big klitschkos not the easiest guy in the world to hit. he's not gonna have to eat george's bombs to land punches of his own. foreman does have a longer reach, but not freakishly so. i give vitali at least a chance in hell.

    now on to the tournament. tyson gets beat by steward's version of lewis. i think frazier does a bowe on holyfield after evander makes the mistake of not staying far away from joes left hook. ali over larry by comfortable decision. foreman and klitschko... id like to say vitali or that it's a pick em. even though i wouldn't bet my house on george, i'd bet whats in my wallet. he'd be throwing the hardest punches anyones ever aimed at vitalis head. if he thought the kicks he took back in the day were bad he'd be unpleasantly surprised by what big george is packin.

    round 2. lennox lewis if he can stay away from george, and i think he could over 12 rounds. probably not over 15. too bad this is 2010 cuz my heart wants foreman to win.
    i'm not sure what how much red k this next sentence is gonna get me but here goes...prime frazier takes it to ali 6 or 7 times out of 10.

    frazier and lewis. the first few rounds are really hard on joe, but if he can catch up with a slightly slower-of-foot ali, he'll catch up to lewis and it'll end a lot worse for lewis than ali. joe makes lennox take a long nap before we see the 10th round. i believe joes chin was a lot better than it looked against foreman and lewis doesn't throw what foreman can throw. i've got a lot of faith that joe would be all over lewis.

    so imo frazier wins the tournament, but he got a good draw. i think he'd always lose to foreman, just not as disastrously as we've seen it happen in real life. tyson might also be a bad matchup for frazier and i honestly wouldn't count out vitali against him. not completely at least. how often have we seen big swarmers against little swarmers? granted i'd be a lot more afraid of fraziers swarms than vitalis.

        not a mention of Lennox Lewis, everyone who has posted on this topic is of the same opinion (myself included) in that Tyson beats Lewis in the opening round of this tournement... the vast majority also feel that it would be a Foreman vs Ali final.

          Not true; I picked Lewis to win in the opening round as did the person who posted two before this.
