Does a prime George Foreman KO a prime Vitali Klitschko?

Foreman > Vitali & Wlad.

It's as simple as that weiner.

oh, I forgot about the ">" !

now I admit, I lost the argument(:

how can you beat the ">"

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.

foreman wasn't a speed demon by any means but his hands weren't slow when he was in his prime. I would say him and vitali were about the same in the speed department. foreman hits much harder tho. vitali has never been a big one punch guy

Because anyone who's watched boxing for 30 or so years, would know that the crap you just wrote was a load of shit.

You said he had 4-5 title fights. He may 'only' have 9 title fights, yet who has Vitali beaten that equates to a Norton, Frazier, Lyle, Ali, Holyfield or even Moorer?

I'll wait...

Are you really that ignorant or just choose to be? I said he was 5-4 in title fights. Vitali would have beaten anyone foreman fought in title fights with the exception of ali due to the possibility of cuts from a great jab. lol at lyle

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.

I thought he was rocked much more badly in the sanders fight than against lewis. I don't think his legs ever buckled in the lewis fight. he did hold after being hit with that vicious uppercut but he didn't appear dazed or unsteady on his feet. I think the sanders shot could have been ruled a knockdown
as he was clearly dazed and unsteady and went down

I totally agree,,, I dont think he ko's him like he did frazier or moorer or lyles, but he would stop him on his feet,,,

But if george gassed out,, i think vitali has a great chance to stop him as well,,
I dont think george ever fought anyone that could match him in the size and had really good jab

Vitali didnt just match him, he was way bigger than prime foreman.

[beez721]

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.

hardly telegraphed. that was a quick counter shot and caught vitali coming in

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Vitali didnt just match him, he was way bigger than prime foreman.

Yes he was "bigger" in terms of measurements, but george had unreal brute strength, but yes vitali is bigger,,,

I actually think this fight could go either way, the more i think about it,,,

Vitali has twice the boxing iq though. Foreman would tire and be a sitting duck like sanders was

[A_Jeffrey]

George was so fast that when he would throw combos you wouldn't even see his hands moving. It looked like he just stands there and telegraphs an uppercut or a hook, when in reality he already landed 10 power shots.
Cameras can't even capture that type of speed.

yea,,,I don't think foreman would just walk through vitali like most seem to think. vitali is so damn awckward and difficult to hit with more than one punch at a time with his reflexes and unorthodox movement. that would be a tough fight for both guys
