    How many Klitschko threads must the history section endure?

      He could, but I wouldn't pick him to.

        I wouldn even give him a ghost of a chance. There just isnt anyone as hittable as Klitschko who would withstand Foreman.

        To say nothing of Klitschkos abysmal competition. This topic is like watching someone ride their bicycle around the block & then asking if they could make it to the moon.

        Foreman in three. Klitschkos jaw would never be the same.

            i'd say he'd be at least a 3 to 1 dog
            at least

            i certainly wouldn't pick vitali to win, but i don't think he gets stopped either


            id actually pick vitali to beat post retirement foreman, though
            i think he outworks him and stays away from anything big in a competitive fight

              Actually, I'd say yes.

              Vitali is awkward, but tough and powerful. And, a better boxer in some ways than Foreman was. Now, if you are referring to a "young" George Foreman...'70's version" as a "prime Foreman", then all Vitali would have to do would be to withstand the early barrage and knock him out late.

              I think Vitali has shown the abilty to do that.

              So, yes.

                LOL. What an easy thing that was to do. I cant see why a guy who couldnt stop Lennox Lewis land something like sixty per cent of his powershots would have any trouble surviving Foreman.

                You people are out of your minds if you think either brother can hang with Foreman.

                  He also was completely unfazed by Lewis landing those power shots. Lewis threw his punches a lot straighter and more correctly than Foreman, who just swung his arms like clubs. He had more power than Lewis, but Lennox was a pretty mighty puncher himself and Vitali ate a bunch of shots flush and seemed only mildly bothered. Foreman would land a lot fewer with his sloppier technique. I really don't think it's a guarantee that Big George KO's Vitali.

                    Why didn't you make this just one thread. And to me it isn't realistic.

                      No.

                      If an aging Lewis beats him to a bloody pulp, a prime Foreman kills him to death inside of 3 rounds.
