    Haven't check the reaches, my bad..

    Haven't watched Foreman in a while, but as I remember he was 'known' for being slow.
    Prime Vitali is not slow at all. Watch Herbie Hide for example.

    Off topic, it's quite funny how certain posters here become instantaneously angry if they don't share the exact opinion. (yet I never said anywhere Vitali beats Foreman, lol )

    I have no idea who wins. Vitali would hold his own, that's for sure.
    I see Lennox as an updated version of Foreman with less power.

George Foreman fought nearly double the amount of times as Vitali and fought well into his late 40's, still knocking people out. He's also fought the likes of Norton, Lyle, Cooney, Frazier twice, Morrison, Holyfield, Moorer, Prime Briggs, Ali etc.

      In comparison Vitali has fought Peter, old Briggs, hide, LL, Charr, Gomez, Arreola, Byrd and Adamek.

      Notice the difference? Unless I'm talking to one of the guys who thinks Peter is a better, modern version of Frazier. lol
      Most of Foremans knockouts were against Bums in his comeback, stop acting like you know something. He was a good fighter with massive power but hardly deserves to be in the top ten heavies all time. 5-4 in title fights just doesn't cut it since people are so hung up on resume's.

          No, Vitali would simply circle and pepper him with jabs, hooks and right hands. Then when he was worn down enough, he would start throwing hard and knock him out. This would happen middle rounds. By then, Foreman would be gassed and ready to concede.

            Lewis was so much better of a boxer than Foreman in his prime it's not even worth talking about.

              I agree with that. George has power and maybe chin over Lennox and that's about it.

                    Wow dude, are you serious? Forget your 'I watched boxing since the 80s' which is complete bs. Forget the fact that Foreman had knocked stopped 37 of 40 wins when he fought Ali, including demolition jobs of Norton, Frazier and Lyle - two of which had beaten Ali at that stage. He came back and beat the genuine world champion at 45. He thoroughly deserves a place in the top 5-6 let alone top 10.

                    I always knew you were a fake. And btw, I believe he was closer to 9-10 title fights. But that just shows how much (little) you know about boxing.

                      vitali is not chapulos but the styles would look something very similar to foreman v chapulos

                      (chapulos was a 6'7 fighter from the soviet union who had a solid chin and crushing power) actually chapulos would have won gold if foreman didn't spoil his plans.........
