    Really? So you think Jimmy Young could knock Vitlai down, or Ken Lakusta could make him do a chicken dance?

    There is no doubt Foreman faced better competition, but his chin clearly did not hold up as good in a comparison. That was my point.

    Tell ya what Z/Mendoza,

    When Vitali is 42 years old and still fighting, then contact me in a few years to see if he's doing any kind of dancing, beit chicken or otherwise. For the moment, he can't even get through training sessions without hurting himself.

    P.S, send me a line when he finally DOES get in the ring with someone who can box like Jimmy Young or Muhammad Ali.

    I'll pay for both of our tickets and air fare to go see the fight.

    Beers are on you though.;)

    Deal. If Ken Lakusta or someone like him wobbles Vitali badly in the ring, then I hope the floor is soft, because I will fall out of my chair.

    34, Brittard.

    And this was one breathtaking fight.

    I dont think any other fight describes the meaning of "slugfest" better. The 4th round is one of my Top 3 ever.

    Old Foreman I think Vitali wins by UD. Young Foreman, Vitali by stoppage if he weathers the storm of the first few rounds/Foreman doesn't end up having the ability to crack his chin.

    Edit: :lol: didnt see how old this thread is and that it just got bumped

    Them guys of mine (Foreman & V.K.) would take turns hammering each other to death...... I'm talking about a 1991 to 1994 Foreman against a 2008 to 2011 Vitali Klit.....
    That dream fight would be insane....

    A very green Foreman of '74 doesn't do well with V.K. of 2011 who just battered Adamek with ease..... Scary thing is, V.K. is old; Foreman is not.... Not in this match........ Foreman got smarter with age---from '88 to '94......
