Don't be bombastic. Foreman did not 'most definitely hit harder' than Lennox or do anything that proved he was on another planet power wise. On a similar level? Sure, I'd go with that if you like. They were both tremendous hitters, and a decent argument could be made either way if you eschew obvious hyperbole or era bias.
George Foreman vs. Vitali Klitschko

That goes both ways buddy.
Evander can say what he likes, but he was never knocked down or seriously hurt by Foreman, so I'm not exactly sure when he got the chance to make this astute observation.Comment

Well if I cant be bombastic and I must eschew obvious hyperbole you have basically taken all the fun out of it. Im picking up my toys and going home...Don't be bombastic.

Hehe, fine. Lennox punched holes through suns. The best Foreman could punch through was a small decrepit planetoid with core rot.Comment

LMAO!!!! from any of us Evander knew the most, he actually got hit by both guys looool please just stop. I say Foreman hit harder cuz a person who has been hit by both of them said foreman hit harder than either lennox or tyson. And foreman has KOd more high profile fighters. You cant say Lennox hit harder just cuz you feel like he does. Facts are facts. Foreman use to leave dents in punching bags and his trainer would literaly fall backwards trying to hold the punching bag.Comment

Is the Foreman-Ali fight the only foreman fight you saw? Ali skills>>>>>>>>>>>> Vitali cmon thats like saying manny had no skills and only referencing the floyd fight.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).
Watch the fights with Norton and Frazier, two fighters muchhhhhhhhh better than anyone vitali faced. And see how foreman looked. Foreman was just a completely different beast. Vitali lost to a fat past prime lennox and got TKOd by him. Foreman would sworm him with punches, and defense wise, vitali only uses his iron chin for defense. Even if it becomes a war, Foreman has been in wars with guys like Lyle and still KOd them.
If you seriously thing Lewis is the best heavyweight of all time then there is no reason to debate with you anymore.Comment

You have no idea how skilled Foreman was in his fighting days. Most people think of him as being a brainless slugger, when in fact he had great ring IQ, and pretty damn underrated in that regard.Foreman would have to k.o the great lasting Klitchko . Anyone reliant on size who is now dwarfed and against someone with skill has little chance of winning .
Vitali has a 80%chance of winning ...to big/skilled and ha more than enough damaging punching to win convincingly !
Foreman would've killed Vitali. Easily. Vitali couldn't even carry Ken Norton's jock.Comment

Prime Vitali murders wide-punching George. Foreman is a midget next to Vitali and couldn't hurt the man with the iron chin. Vitali would mop the ring with Foreman.You have no idea how skilled Foreman was in his fighting days.

lol...No just ...NO....you haven't the slightest what you are looking at. stop watching re runs and start watching why certain guys are just harder to deal with!You have no idea how skilled Foreman was in his fighting days.

lmao, im guessing it's because Vitali gave past prime Lennox a run for his money while it lasted, why you think he'd "mop the ring with him".
Big George would roll Vitali. Even old George could beat Vitali.Last edited by CatchAndShoot; 06-06-2016, 10:01 PM.Comment
