    Foreman in his 81 fights had only 8 fights against heavier opponents. 7 of these 8 opponents were bums (like featherfist Chuck Wepner, 35-14). The only non-bum was tiny Frazier (outweighted Foreman by 0.5lbs).

    Thus it's a complete questionmark how Foreman would fare against heavier better opponents.
    there were no toned fighters at klits weight in the 70's i see klits height and reach being a bigger obstacle than his weight. still i see foreman KO by 5 starting with big body punishment. klit would certainly land a few nice punches but they would become less frequen as he tries to block foremans body blows.

      Yeah, the reason is called HYPE + No-Eastern-Competition. Read my sig.

      Hahaha. Just the weight and height difference ALONE gives Vitali Klitschko already a 3:1 advantage.

      I am not interested in your favorite delusions.

      A hater's comment.

      Moreover this thread is about Prime Vitali. Are you sure you are still ontopic?

      Why am I not astonished that you counter facts with your favorite fantasies (like "70ies had more heart" or "Hey, t'was the golden age"). Yawn.
