Originally posted by Boxing Goat View PostLol 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?

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. Styles make fights

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.
