    Stylistically I think Vitali wins a rather comfortable UD (Very likely a few scares here & there)

    Too many are nitpicking Vitali's controversial loss to Lewis & making out Foreman was a lot better than he was IMO (Don't get me wrong he was big, a hard hitter & a very tough man)

    But if you are going to use Vitali's loss to Lewis who was a hell of lot better at least IMO technically, bigger, faster & more athletic than George ever was then I think its only fair you also take into account Georges losses where he was outboxed, knocked out & also dropped against the likes of the rather feather fisted, Jimmy Young.

    You can't base a fantasy fight only off a guy losing to arguably the greatest heavyweight to ever live & not look at the other guys faults, losses etc

      As a big Foreman fan as well as Vitali I don't think Foreman can beat Vitali. It's my opinion. Foreman is just too stationary.

        I not sure about a KO but I think he beats him.

        Vitali's chin is too good it's hard to vision a knockout loss.

          Him or Liston.

          Liston genuinely frightened me as a child.

            Foremans lack of technique would make those huge punches easy for Vitali to avoid, plus Vitali has a great chin.

            .

            You mean the same punches that faster and slicker fighters like Ken Norton failed to avoid? Of Course I agree about Vit's chin.

                Yes sir...........I've seen the majority of his fights to notice. Again it's my opinion.

                  and I'm not disagreeing, but we're comparing him to Vitali Klitchko.

                    Who happens to have better movement and also has a lot of power in his punches.

                      I think Vitali would have a great shot at winning.
