    Louis, Liston, Frazier, Foreman, Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, Fury. I feel like i'm forgetting a few in my rush.

    Andrew Golota. After outboxing Vitali and building a lead on the cards Andrew would feel no anxiety to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory because Vitali isn't an explosive KO puncher. Golota would win a decision with a KD or two.

    I would add Bob Fitzsimmons and Primo Carnera to the list.

    And Vitali couldn't stomach little Chris Byrd.

    I've always thought Wlad would've beaten Vitali.

    Wladimir himself didn't think so.
    Foreman couldn't beat Axel Schulz.

    Bloody hard call. I know a lot over the years have favored Vitali's durability.

    Doesn't mean much. Younger brothers rarely think they could beat their big brother in a fight. Some boxers are humble. Tyson often picked against himself in h2h discussions.

    Prime Foreman was an even dumber boxer than the older one.
