      No, I never said that, I said late 80's starting when I was playing Mike Tyson's punch out on Nintendo. I also said that I've watched just about every important fight since the early 90's. Go check if you want chief.

        Foreman has the power advantage. Not just slightly, his power was awesome. He lifted Joe Frazier off his feet. He could knock everyone out in the world. Including Vitali.
        The point is that Foreman telegraphed his hard shots and they would be avoided and picked off by Vitali. Foreman may hit harder in one shot but Vitali has stopped a higher % of his opponents.

          Oh is that the point? GF has a 83,5 stoppage % and Vitali has a 87%. Wupti do. George Foreman fought nearly double the amount of times as Vitali and fought well into his late 40's, still knocking people out. He's also fought the likes of Norton, Lyle, Cooney, Frazier twice, Morrison, Holyfield, Moorer, Prime Briggs, Ali etc.

          In comparison Vitali has fought Peter, old Briggs, hide, LL, Charr, Gomez, Arreola, Byrd and Adamek.

          Notice the difference? Unless I'm talking to one of the guys who thinks Peter is a better, modern version of Frazier. lol

            To answer the question. It's possible but not very likely. Vitali has significant advantage in size, reach and speed.
            ^^^^^ Laughable. Vitali does NOT have a significant reach advantage over Foreman. In fact, Vitali has a 3 inch reach DISadvantage to George. Hells bells, if you're going to talk out of your ass to big up your boy at very least get your basic facts straight ffs.

            And who the hell does Vitali have a speed advantage over? A statue? Come on, Vitali is slow as ****.

                Not to mention that Foreman actually knocked people out to get that percentage while Vitali's is heavily padded with corner retirements and towel tosses.

                  My bet is he's still a kid and started watching boxing less than ten years ago. He obviously thinks anything prior to ten years ago is "like, ancient times, dude" :chuckle9:

                    Prime Foreman tears his face apart in 6 rounds. Vitali gets stopped on his feet (TKO).
