Big George Foreman vs Wlad and Vitali Klitsko
Collapse

Neither Klit bro could have thought of, or followed Ali,s game plan. Wladomire would die if he laid on the ropes and tried to roll shots, and Vitalli would get into a tit for tat, and realize that Foreman hit a hell of a lot harder than Lewis and would have been taken out cold IMO.
George could punch, but he wasn't a 10th of the boxer that Lewis was, no way he'd put as much leather on Vitali as Lennox was able to. If Vitali fought his normal style, George would have a long, tough night...both guys would've.Comment

I think Foreman in his prime KOs Wlad in middle rounds. Vitali is a 50/50 fight, he's too tough and awkward, it's a very tough fight to call. Unfortunately, the poll did not include the most obvious option, so it's kinda ******.Comment

One thing to point out: Young George used to kill the body and had a devastating jab. And George was actually different after Frazier...he stopped fighting behind the jab. He was to full of himself with his power which I hear he admitted.
I've always wondered what would happen if you attacked those big fighters with powerful body blows. For instance: I think the body shots had an effect on Wlad when Brewster knocked him out. Big mid-section = big target. Tall fighters usually gas out as well if they are forced to fight at a fast pace.
That's where the Jab and clinch method of Lewis came in handy...which we see Wlad using now.Comment

Ok!
Well....the voice of reason...
First,,,, I don't like the Klits....
BUT.... Klits in the 70's vs George at 230. MAJOR KO of both of them..
George (of 1970's) in a time machine brought to 2009......they both KO him..
SO.......these guys raised in the same age ,era training,,,,........a bit hard to say....Big george in the day.. was the DOG! much as I HATE to admit it......ya gotta tip the hat to the klits...
I figure... All things being even..(you can figure out whatever that means)
Foreman KO's Wlad and ................LOSES ( yes i said it ) to Vitali............
that actually hurt to say.....

first take a look at big george, he's a good sized heavy but not really huge, especially compared to Vitali 6'3 - 6'8, that's a huge advantage
anyone saying he'd KO Vitali is delusional, the same Foreman who couldn't KO Ali. I don't really believe there is much room for debate on Vitali's chin. I'd pick Vitali
Foreman Vlad, i'd give Foreman the advantage but it isn't out of the realm of possibility that Vlad could control him, maybe even KO him so long as Foreman doesn't catch him clean a few times
Most likely outcome Foreman by TKO (Vlad's never stayed down any time he's been dropped)Comment
