Foreman (prime) - Vitaly

This is how Foreman - Vitaly would go:

Foreman would walk through Vitaly's best punches.

Style wise the fight would likely go something like this. Yes I know Foreman is better than the two above but I just think Vitali and Lewis are the two worst match ups Foreman could make.

 

Come on! You have chosen two opponents who neither move nor throw punches.

 

Well at least the first part George would agree with when talking about his own style. He just came at you in straight lines with zero lateral movement.

 

Perhaps but he did put pressure on his opponents and he did manage to cut them off. Even Ali couldn't outrun him

I think Foreman would be able to cut off Vitali, walk through his jab, and turn the fight into a brawl. If Vitali could survive that for 6 rounds then he could win, but I think it would be over before then.

 

Possibly, that seemed to be what Arreola's game plan was against Vitali.

Areola is actually a good comparasine size wise to old Foreman.

 

he wasn't actually knocked out thought he lost on cuts

 

Ali didnt run from Foreman., he leaned on the ropes. Vit would proly use his arms to take the sting out of Foremans punches then counter them.

Prime Vitali vs Prime Foreman would be a war with Foreman getting KOd late, He had terrible stamina in his prime..
Prime Vitali vs Old Foreman would be a more tactical fight with Vitali winning on points

 

Tough match up for both men. Vitali lacks the speed and mobility to keep Foreman off him all the time, so he will be forced to trade with Big George at some points. Vitali won't be able to simply dominate Foreman like he does many of his opponents and could get stopped on cuts as the 2 times he has been roughed up in the ring against Lewis and Sanders he was cut both times.

But as long as Vitali doesn't get stopped on cuts I see him surviving the initial onslaught in the first half of the fight and out boxing a tiring Foreman down the stretch. Vitali's durability, stamina and superior boxing skills give him the advantage the longer the fight goes on. Vitali wins a tough points decision or stops a tired Foreman around the 10th.

 

Nice post. :good

 

George by wrecking balls.

 

Foreman's style was based on being the far bigger man, and polling over little fighters who didn't weigh much over 190lb.
How many guys did Foreman fight who were 3" taller and 30lb heavier?

 

George Foreman's reach was 82 inches to Vitali's 80 inch reach ..Foreman would have walked Vitali down and dig to the body wear him down same as the above mentioned in the Norton fight to a KO ..Vitali won't be out muscling Big George like a Chris Byrd or Chis Arreola

 

Vitali would easily out muscle Foreman
