    Survived another round? Don't be drastic, the tide was if anything turning.

    I totally disagree with you regarding most of what you say. As for Morrison, I followed his career very closely and I know his flaws would have put him at a massive disadvantage against Vitali. Vitali would have knocked out Morrison easily. No question about it.

    After watching the films, yes...I now think Arreola had no chance. Zero. Vitali was really that good.

    Vitali Klitschko is superb.

    Watch the film. Who collapsed on their stool at the end of the sixth round? Lewis shot his bolt in that round. He expended his remaining strength in a desperate effort to win. He was lucky that Vitali was cut.

    But according to you (Or was it another poster) Vitali threw 800 punches and must've not ever been tired since he was fine in the interview.

    Truth be told, I saw the fight live (Re-watched it too) and it's a great fight. I was actually rooting for Vitali at the time... thought Lewis was tired and dead game and saw him flop down to his seat. Still, I think he would've remained closed and chopped Vitali down. Vitali was getting hurt more and that eye would've greatly affected him contrary to what he hollered about.

    Morrison is at least 5X greater than Arreola. So he would've won at least a few rounds... no? Or does he get KTFO?

    Prime vs prime
    Holyfield - agree
    Bowe - Don't know Bowe was great in close range, but never seen Bowe cut the ring against a taller fighter.
    Morrison - disagree.Morrison would have been koed.
    Foreman - Don't know i think both version loses to Vitaly Foreman was slow and much of the times He overpowered his oponents a fighter that is stronger than him and faster wicht a very long reach would have beat Foreman. Foreman was agresive with a very hard punch but still He was a 225lbs fighter with overpowered much of the 180 to 210 lbs fighters out there but wat about a 250lbs fighter.
    Ruddock - loses to Vitali
    Tyson - prime Tyson beats Vitali, He in his prime was a master in cutting the ring
    Holmes - Close fight, but again only becasue Vitaly is way bigger and can box too
    Cooney - Gets koed
    Norton - Good fight still pick Vitaly
    Ali - agree ali beats Vitaly but had to work hard for it, again ali never fought a 250lbs skilled fighter with a lot of power. ali needs to be more agresive here a ali that foght Foreman loses.
    Fraizer - Small Fraizer gets koed, sory for the fans.
    Liston - Liston maybe
    Marciano - disagree, marciano gets koed early
    Walcott - disagree to small
    Louis - agree; Louis was great
    Charles - disagree
    Schmeling - disagree, overrrated

    Arreola would have knocked Morrison out, although Tommy would have stood an outside chance at springing an upset. I say Arreola would have a 75% chance of beating Morrison.

    Look at Morrison's struggle with Terry Anderson, which took place during Morrison's prime. Consider Morrison's problems with Joe Hipp, Ross Purrity, and Carl Williams.

    I think most boxing experts would agree with me that Arreola would be a very likely winner over Tommy Morrison.

    Morrison is a Shannon Briggs type of fighter, got a few good wins but a very averege fighter.

    Morrison was also very vulnerable: he was constantly being hurt and floored, even by mediocre opponents.

    Bowe was one of the best big men infighters.

    You think Foreman is slower than this Vitali? Really? He certainly hits a lot harder. He proved himself against the super heavyweights at age 48 by beating Shannon Briggs who is arguably better than every win on Vitali's resume. :lol:

    Holmes would make this Vitali look bad and even more awkward.

    Yes, it is Ali here who is more unproven against the elite Heavyweights. :roll:

    :fire :bart

    MAYBE? Maybe a decapitation yeah.

    LoL nobody is KOing Marciano and especially not early.

    Dempsey was also too small for Williard. Holy for Foreman/Bowe. Frazier for Mathis?

    Yes, because he beat the great Louis? That win alone makes him impossible to be overrated.

    First of all. Morrison is not like Briggs as a fighter. Secondly, he and Briggs are better than anyone on Vitali resume. If they are very average than Arreola is very very below average. Correct?

    Troll and stalker, nice. You like riding the Klits all night long?
