    Yes. Look at the Sanders fight. Look at how Vitali reacts to a strong power puncher who is hitting him. Now picture an extremely superior version going at him and there's just no way he could deal with Foreman's onslaught.

      Slow guys are also helpless against Vitali. Foreman's power would mean nothing against Vitali when he couldn't land the shots. It's elementry.

          Sanders had Vitali doing the chicken dance and pretty much knocked him down(I know this is going to rustle some jimmies for sure) before he ran out of energy. It's the only puncher he faced that was big and dynamic enough, unless you want to count lewis who also nearly knocked him down with an uppercut.

          Again, Those guys are infinitely inferior to prime Foreman's onslaught.

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.
            Why is me watching boxing for so long shake you up? I've been a fan for a very long time and know a lot about boxing, It's not like it's some great achievement or something bro. I have no reason to lie about it. I don't care one way or another. Like I said, the Rocky movies and 'Punch Out' made me a fan in the 80's and I have followed every since. Tyson was my favorite fighter until Morrison came along, then later I switched to Roy Jones and have been there every since. I watched SRL fight in the 80's live on TV for crying out loud. So ****ing what.

            Oh and about Foreman's title fight record, I stated that as a fact not a guess. (5-4)

              Sanders' straight left was known for being one of the fastest heavyweight southpaw punches ever. Foreman had nowhere close to that kind of speed and comes from a familiar orthodox angle.

                Chicken dance? Rewrite history much? He caught Vitali with a perfect couter punch off guard but he wasn't even hurt. It's obvious he wasn't hurt by the way he avoided the follow up barrage from the sniper.

                  That Sanders shot would not knock down but knock out majority of ATG HW.

                  Lewis was never near to knock him down. Vitali took Lennox's best punch clean as possible and stayed on his feet. You can't BS about Vitali's chin, find something else..

                    Look at how he was wobbling before he was knocked down. The only other time he was hurt that badly was when Lewis nearly decapitated him with the right uppercut.

                    He had to run from Sanders untill he ran out of steam. An out of shape, part time golfer had him chicken dancing, knocked him down and hurt him repeatedly. What do you think a prime Foreman would do? Absolute finish.

                    Vitali grabbed Lewis and hung on for dear life. His legs were GONE and he was lucky that he grabbed Lewis right after he was hit, otherwise he would have gone down.

                    Prime Foreman's right uppercut was deadly as well, and he was stronger than lewis in the clinch so Vitali would be pushed back if he tried to Clinchko him.

                      Can't find a gif of the knockdown but this left hand has got to be one of the most telegraphed shots I've seen but it was what made Vitali chicken dance.
