    None of them would beat Vitali period! Henry Cooper had Ali out, Angelo Dundee had to cut Ali's glove to give him time to recover! Vitali would have beaten Ali and would have had an easy time beating Foreman. Axel Schultz beat the crap out of Foreman, Vlad stopped Schultz in the 8 round. Vitali is extremely underrated..........................

    It is an unpopular opinion, but I too think that Vitali might beat Ali. Seriously, if Alfredo Evangelista can pin a 35 year old Ali on the ropes and fire awayi, are we going to continue to assign magical qualities to Ali forevermore? The guy was beateable. Vitali would give him hell, and I wouldn't be shocked if he beat Ali.

    Brainwashed tools, worshiping at the altar of media creationism that are the 70's heavyweights.

    I´m not sure if he would beat Vitali, but Jimmy Young at his best would give him a lot of trouble.

    You'e misunderstanding what people are saying about size (i dont agree with the foreman-williams thing).
    Nobody is saying the bigger guy always wins, but if it didnt make a huge difference we wouldnt have weight divisions, but those that feel foreman frazier and ali would easily beat vitali are basing that view on their ability to look good against boxers 190lb -210lb. So it is quite an assumption to think that they would be just as effective against someone who is 7" taller and 40lbs heavier than most of their opponents.
    But just because they didnt beat someone like that doesnt mean they couldnt. Frazier might be capable of knocking out vitali, but i think people might be over estimating his power, based on a high ko % against cruiserweight sized opposition. His KO % against today's sized hw is much lower.

    For the size reason alone, it's hard to say how opponents would have fared against any Klits. P4P, I think that Ali and his top opponents beat both Klits. But did any of Ali's opponents ever fight boxers like Vitali, with his combination of size, skill level and skill set?

    Yes its brainwashing, it was common in the 70's for fighters like Ali, Foreman, Norton and Lyle to be 40+lbs bigger than their opponents. But today 20lb is so "UNFAIR":|:|:|

    None.
    The old time greats all wipe the floor with both Klitschkos.

    Clearly, these 6 foots 200 pounds guys toy with them.
