    I can't really picture Vital getting KTFO TBH. Would be a hell of a fight though!

      Eh, I'd say movement is about the same but Vitali is more technical/orthodox. But Foreman is busier and throws more punches, and Vitali isn't mobile enough to get away from them. Anything Foreman lands does damage while Klitchko has to get in a good (precise) shot.

        A prime 1970's Foreman is one of the fighters I would favor over either Klitschko.

        Along with prime versions of Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, Rid**** Bowe, and Lennox Lewis.

          Not a chance. Take a look at the video of Big George when he boxed. I've never seen anyone so wild with his punches. He was a sledgehammer and not much else. Vitali boxes him and stops him in 8. Thing is Vitali can box and over power you.

              Stoppage for sure, but like some others have mentioned it's possible it would be a standing stoppage.

                Yeah, this is what I think.

                  How was Foreman stationary? He cut the ring off like no other, maybe the best ever at it.

                      I could definitely see that happening.
