    Foreman would knock Adamek clean out and he would knock Chisora out too.

    Ffs Chisors is just a poor mans Joe Frazier minus the firepower.

    Yes that same Frazier, Foreman made a career out of beating.

    This is the same Adamek who was rocked by a jab!

    i dont understand why people keep comparing Vitalis power to Foremans when its nowhere near.

    Your power speaks for itself, not your fans

    I agree H2H Vitali holds Wladmirs number. but accomplishment, resume wise, Wlad is miles ahead.

    Its like comparing Bowe and Holyfield, Bowe has Holyfields number, but Holyfield is the greater fighter

    I think Vitali came into his prime after the Lewis fight, too bad his legacy was shortened in his prime by injury's because he still may be one of the best head to head

    Old Foreman never knocked out anyone as durable as Adamek or Chisora during his comeback. Adamek would outbox him and Chisora would probably make in a tough fight in the trenches that could go either way.

    Btw Frazier would kick old Foreman's ass.

    Adamek? Durable? Maybe at the lower weights, he was rocked a number of times at heavyweight, when Foreman hits him, hes going to sleep.

    Chisora was durable until he met a puncher, namely David Haye.

    Foreman knocks both of them out.

    and like i said before , Foremans level of opposition was much greater than Vitalis.

    Trying to convince me that Adamek and Chisora were better than Holyfield and Moorer only makes you look more daft.

    As for the person who mentioned Briggs, seems to fail go mention that Foreman was nearly 50 years old vs a PRIME Briggs, not the old shot **** version Vitali fought

    He may also be the best HW champ ever.

    Slowman would likely get outboxed, outworked by Adamek. A good chin wasn't required to beat 90's Foreman.

    90's Foreman went life and death with guys far worse than Adamek, and arguably lost those fights........ Chisora would certainly beat Foreman as well providing his chin held up, heck, Charr would probably give him hell as well!

    so Biggs was an improved fighter a decade later?

    don't make me laugh.

    actually Vitali fought Biggs 13 years after Foreman.

    please elaborate how he was better by the time h fought Vitali

    based on what? He lost to the best fighters he fought and his resume is very poor.

    Wladmirs resume is leagues ahead.

    I think Wlad can outbox Vitali to a UD.

    Vitali has his awkward pull-back style which Wlad is almost as tall, but with a longer reach.

    Vitali did a good bit of countering, but Wlad is way too accurate for that.

    well if you look back at my original point, i said Foreman fought the better version. if Biggs was green vs Foreman, what was he 13 years later vs Vitali?

    Nobody is talking about when he fought Vitali. He was green against Foreman and still won.
