Did you know that Vitali was backed up and made quit against a natural middleweight in Chris Byrd, who has less power than Ali, and then instead of rematchng him, he got his brother to fight for him.Lol at your underestimating Vitali post. Ali beat and knocked out prime Foreman with the rope a dope, not movement. Vitali has very good footwork and ring IQ, not to mention punching power and timing. Much more power than Ali. His chin is solid too, theres a reason he's never been knocked down.
In my opinion, the LL that fought Vitali was a better fighter than any version of Foreman. He was way more technical and was a lot bigger. Prime Foreman was about 220 lbs. Lewis was 3" taller and 30+ lbs heavier.
You do know Foreman was 5-4 in title fights and lost to a 20-5 Jimmy Young in his prime, who was barely over 200 lbs and was a career loser?Comment

Tough question, if I had to choose I would say yes. But I would like to make use of this situation and say that I would much rather favor Ali to score a stoppage based on an accumulation of punches, cuts and exaution rather than Foreman clobbering away on a guy with a solid chin and good boxing skills.

Funny enough, I remember Foreman commenting Lennox-Vitali and saying he would fight Vitali if he beats Lennox.
To answer the question. It's possible but not very likely. Vitali has significant advantage in size, reach and speed.Comment
