    Foreman had a chin just as good as Vitali's.

          No. Vitali has a solid chin, dare I say maybe even more than Ali.

            Vitali's chin is unproven from his relatively weak resume and the quality of prime opponents he faced. What neutralizes Foreman is excellent movement which Vitali wholly lacks. The dude fights like a uncoordinated robot. This **** won't even be close.

              I say he does. Foreman can cut off a ring beautifully, he will kill Vitali with body shots, and when those hands lower Vitali will be screwed.

                Yes. I'll keep saying this as I've said many times before: There aren't many heavyweights a prime Foreman wouldn't knock out. He was a beast, a rare breed for sure.

                Prime Vitali might make it interesting for a while, but considering his stamina was never great, plus Foreman's body shots, he would eventually fold.

                  He wasn't a "good" boxer, no. He made up for it exponentially with his brutal power, strength and aggressiveness. In this era he'd be the unified champ. He would even knocked out Lennox Lewis.

                    Along with prime versions of Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, Rid**** Bowe, and Lennox Lewis.
                    Well put, I have to agree.

                      Reverse psychology here?
