George Foreman was a hell of a puncher that met you head on. The Klits don't fight and take chances like that. Know your history before you open your mouth. And No, Tyson was not in his prime the night he fought Douglas. He had been on a downward spiral since getting rid of his trainer and was definitely not in tune for that fight. Again, know your history before you open your mouth around here, you will be schooled.Frazier couldn't even deal with a big man like Foreman, who doesn't even take full advantage of his height and reach. He is a small Cruiserweight compared to Wlad or Vitali.
Either guy knocks him out cold, sorry to burst your bubble. I know some of you guys are big on the historically great heavyweights of the past, but they're physically outmatched against 6'6 250lb Heavyweights with very good boxing skills.Comment

Same could be said about your screen name, Moron. lol You really can't be this ignorant can you?Comment

i would be comfortable betting money on a prime healthy vitali vs any fighter in history, any weight or era
and people who think the 180 pound "golden age' heavyweights would overcome the laws of physics and beat modern ripped 240 pound heavyweights are people too emotional to ever succeed in picking fights
the 1900s-1980s sure had some awesome lightheavyweights and cruiserweights
not **** in the division NOW CALLED heavyweightComment

In the 80's there was a revolution regarding weight training and, well, PEDs (legal or illegal). The stuff Arnold was doing in Muscle Beach, as well as some powerlifters, went sort of mainstream, and suddenly athletes started doing the impossible.
Now, with modern training and knowledge, I don't know how harder would a young Foreman punch. Or how much more pop and stamina Ali would have.
It is VERY difficult to compare eras.Comment
