you are saying Vitali would KO Bowe something a prime Holyfield never came near to doing and Holyfield would throw 500 more punches a fight than Vitali.. Vitali could not KO Bowe even if Bowe was not hitting back.

Semi-Finals matchup:

#1 Riddck Bowe vs #4 Vitali Klitschko
#2 George Foreman vs #3 Lennox Lewis

Bowe v Vitali - Bowe KO7

Vitali has never fought an opponent even a quarter as good as the 1993 Riddick Bowe, Vitali's best oppont was an old 37yrs old Lewis who was not in the same league as 93 Bowe, Bowe matches up to Vitali in the height & reach stakes but is far superior in the boxing skills department as well as better mobility.. Bowe would brutaly beat-up Vitali then knock him out around the 7th round.

Foreman vs Lewis -- Foreman KO2

What cannot be ignored in any hyorthetical match-up`like this is the 2 KO losses to mediocre journeymen which Lewis suffered when in his prime.. Foreman is 10 times better that McCall or Rahman and punches 10 times harder than them both, Foreman jabs better than both and is an all-round better fighter than both. i see this fight being over quickly as Foreman goes for Lewis from the opening bell behind a jab-right-hand attack.. Lewis could only paw with his jab as was evident in his fight with Frank Bruno yet Foreman knew how to cut-off the ring far better than Bruno, i see Lewis hitting the deck towards the end of round 1 and early in round 2 before Foreman finishes him off in similar style to how he KOd Ken Norton

Riddick Bowe has only faced 1 superheavyweight in his life and that was Andrew Golota. Bowe does not know how to deal with guys his own size, and Golota was outboxing him from the opening rounds of their first fight....Vitali is Golota on steroids...literally in some senses. Vitali is a 6'7 monster and even Lewis was unable to hit him with overhand rights. I dont think Bowe has the same intelligence to switch styles between rounds to get Vitali with left hooks and uppercuts. Its a whole different ballgame when you are the small man, punching up.

Vitali TKO 11 over Bowe

************************************************** ****

What cant be ignored is Lennox's

Height advantage
Reach Advantage
Boxing Skill Advantage
Weight Advantage
Handspeed Advantage
Footspeed Advantage
Defensive Advantage
Stamina Advantage

......Over George Foreman. Foreman's offense relies on men with a shorter reach getting inside his zone. This is the only way he can hit them because he is not fast enough to chase. Lennox doesnt have to get inside Foreman's zone to tag him. Lennox can win this by decision if he wants but most likely I see this as KO victory based on Lennox's track record with Big Men. Lennox hits a helluva lot harder than Jimmy Young/Ron Lyle and can execute at a comfortable range.

Lennox TKO 5 over Foreman

Vitali is a bigger puncher than Holyfield and you are right, he may not be able to KO Bowe with 1 big shot, but Vitali's accumulation of punches would build up and the fact that Bowe's defence was nothing to be desired put together is in Vitali's favour. By the end Bowe would end up looking like Shannon Briggs and either Bowe quits, his corner stop it or the referee stops him from taking too much punishment. Vitali stops him late, Vitali TKO11

Lennox TKO 5 over Foreman

Lennox height advantage = one inch?
reach advantage = one inch
weight advantage = Lewis used steroids
handspeed advantage = Foreman
footspeed advantage = Foreman.. Lewis has 2 left feet
defensive advantage = Foreman cross armed defence
stamina advantage = Foreman.. Lewis knackered against Tucker back in 1993 weighing 20lb less so no way does he have stamina weighing 244lbs

Lennox hits harder than Ron Lyle? ... howler
Jimmy Young never put Foreman down it was Foreman tripping over Young`s feet, Foreman never went to the floor it was similar to Lewis vs Briggs... who has Lewis ever fought and beaten who was anywhere near resembling Foreman of 1975?

Bowe vs Jorge Louis Gonzalez 6ft 7ins (250lb) 23-0 undefeated who beat Lewis 3 times in amateurs.
Bowe vs Pierre Coetzer - 6ft 4ins
Bowe vs Conroy Nelson - 6ft 4ins
Bowe vs Rodolfo Marin - 6ft 6ins
Bowe vs Tyrell Biggs - 6ft 5ins
Bowe vs Big Art Tucker 6ft 6ins

Be honest in this thread instead of trying to manipulate it so that you can claim your idol Lennox Lewis to be the greatest of all time which will make you look more foolish than you did yesterday... after this super 6 is finished i will start a thread between the winners who you have concocted up

Do you really believe Vitali to be a bigger puncher than Holyfield?

Bowe 1993 has no defense?

Bowe would look like Shannon Briggs?... Briggs was 40yrs old and never threw any punches back yet Vitali still could not KO him.. Bowe would "Behead" Vitali with his jab..

Bowe quits?..... Riddick Bowe aint a quitter
Bowe's corner throws towel in?.... Eddie Futch in Bowe's corner against Vitali's trainer who is called???????

[Joeyzagz]

Geoerge Foreman 1975 was a wrecking machine who 16yrs later would go on and fight a "Prime Holyfield" for the Heavyweight Title putting on a tremendous performance before losing on Pts...

Lennox Lewis 1997 weighing 244lbs struggled to off-load punches on Henry Akinwande, beat Golota (sedated) and struggled with Shannon Briggs..

The common theme when Lennox faces SHWs is his superior speed/stamina. Bowe was done after round 1, Briggs after round 4, Vitali after 5, Akinwande after 3. etc etc etc

you claim Lewis done Bowe in one round... lets take a look at your claim:

vitali riddick and george by kos

It is plain for all to see that from the above video Riddick Bowe easily has the better Jab than Lewis and has little trouble landing his punches on Lewis... The referee gave Bowe 15 warnings in the opening round and then stopped the bout to the amazement of everyone.... FIXED
