    Cuz Vitali isnt those things, other than the iron chine part and taller. It would be worse that the Lennox fight. Foreman in his prime was a different kind of beast. You are comparing a top 5 heavyweight of all time to maybe a top25 heavyweight. Foreman would land combos right on his face, and hits harder than Lennox. Who has Vitali beat that would make it seem he has more skill?

      Foreman did not hit harder than Lennox.

        Vitali has the most pathetic resume of any so called Hall of Famer.

          We can't say but I tend to think Foreman hit harder.

            Who do you got in this fight? And why?
            Vitali had a good chin and a decent size advantage but other than that, it's Foreman all the way. Bigger, stronger, more power, more resilience and just overall...more greatness.

            Vitali of course would make it tough but I don't think his skin or resilience holds up. Which ever breaks first ends the fight.

              I voted for Big George. I think he would damage Klitschko. Vitali would put up a good fight though because he's no pushover.

                Im sure you know cuz youve been hit by both.

                Evender Holyfield fought a past prime Foreman and he said that he hit harder than Tyson and Lennox, and harder than anyone else he faced lol like i said Foreman was a different kind of beat that isnt comparable to Vitali

                  Lol, Foreman most definitely hit harder than Lennox. Foreman is one of the most powerful punchers ever. Lennox had heavy hands for sure but he isnt on the same planet with George as far as power.

                    I'd concede that Foreman had a mite more heavy handedness, which translated into him being able to hurt guys without really having to load up, but if Lennox caught you with one of his right hands it was guaranteed lights out. Foreman could never really get that type of power into his shots.

                      Did you see Foreman's fight against Ali? Vitali is much more skilled than Foreman, it's not even up to debate. Vitali has a pretty average resume and while he is not exactly a Mayweather or Ward, you could obviously see that he was a skilled fighter in the way he fought.

                      Foreman did more with his career than Vitali and Foreman is rightly regarded as a bigger legend than Vitali, but head to head, I don't see anyone except Lennox Lewis beating Vitali in boxing history (yep, I consider Lewis the H2H best heavyweight in history).
