Foreman lost to Tommy Gunn and Axel Schulz...he hit a guy with a bolo punch...in a fight he was getting crushed in. So Prescott is a sweet fighter cause he KO'd Kahn? Especially at HW, a guy drops his guard for a second he can be finished. Fact is if George Foremans name was George Fordham hed never have been in that ring. He was coming off of a loss...how weak we the HW era of the 90s that a 45 year old guy who hadnt fought in a year coming off of a clear loss getting a title shot...almost as weak as the 70's where guys with 6 wins and a draw and Local YMCA fighters are getting title shots and winning the title or going the distance and knocking down the champ. thank god we are alive to witness the greatest time in HW boxing, a time where champs dont fight guys with 6 wins or 45 year olds who havent done jack in 20 years coming off of a long layoff and a loss...what **** eras the 70's and 90's were for hw boxing.
And who cares if Vitali hasnt fought at 40 yet. He's 40, he's the champ, and he's defending his belt...yet again.
And if youre going to say Foreman beat Briggs, at least acknowledge he got worked and pussed out against hand picked Schulz.Comment

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis
THE TRUTH
Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.
Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outboxed, outworked, outmuscled and outlanded by Vitali.
punches landed
Vitali 156
Lewis 102
Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.
After the fight, Vitali intimidated the shit out of Lewis and made him look like a bitch.
All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.
Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.
Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.
Lewis turned down 30 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.
Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his bitch ass into retirement.
George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"
Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"
Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.
Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.Comment

Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"
In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"
Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement.Comment

Vitali got a freak injury in the 2nd round and he still dominated Byrd.
If a one-armed Vitali can dominate Byrd, just imagine what a healthy Vitali would've done to Byrd.
Wlad destroyed Byrd twice.
A healthy Vitali destroys Byrd and you haters know it.Comment

Yep, but that isn't the point, is it? You're claiming Vitaly as the greatest 40+ heavyweight in history and it just isn't true. At 39 Vitaly couldn't put away past prime Briggs who was 35lbs over his best fighting weight. At just shy of 49 Foreman was robbed against a prime Briggs. Vitaly is a tough guy and maybe one day he will surpass Foreman and Holmes as the best 40+ heavyweight. But as of now he isn't even close to them.Comment

Um.
Vitali hasnt had a fight at 40+ yet.
Kind of early to call him the best 40+ HW of all time.Comment
