Who wins this fantasy fight?? "Peak" 1991 Old Foreman who gave Peak Holyfeild a v.tough WAR VS Peak 2003 Vitali who won teh 2 close 1st roundz Against 38 yrs old, fat And v.Nearly-Shot Lennox, then nearly got MURDERED cos Lewis raped him for teh next 4 rounds, Vitali was on life-Support almost-dead in rounds 5 And 6. 1991 Old Foreman - 257lbs This content is protected [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKqpOYH7T2k[/ame] VS 2003 Vitali - 248lbs This content is protected [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J659XD38u3c[/ame] My Guess is Old Foreman TKO7 Vitali on nasty cuts Or Old Foreman lands a Huge-Haymaker And gets a KO. Corrie Sanders proved Vitalis' cheen isn't top-level grade.gl
Old Foreman diez in the ring... Vitali beat prime Briggs into a coma...who pre-prime sodomized your herld Foreman. I honestly don't know what that one judge was thinking, perhaps they were bribbed with a free Foreman Grill. After many rounds of man ****, Briggs was so moved by Foreman's willingness to be punished, he let him off the hook...and morons like you think it was close fight.
Klitscko wins by decision. Old George not quick enough. Now,a young PRIME Foreman,on the other hand.............
Depends on how you rate "top grade". Vitali's chin IMO is as good as it gets. That doesn't mean he can't be knocked out or knocked down. He's human after all.
Old Foreman, while having a tremendous story and being a very good fighter, simply doesn't have it for a top 20 ATG heavyweight. He is a H2H kitten, as it were, versus the greats. Old George can't beat Vitali. He doesn't have a single tool to do so: His power lacks the snap and technique, he lacks the speed, he'd lack the strength to make a big enough imprint on the fight, the size to bully, and the skill to outbox. And I love George. I was a training partner for 3 years and count him as a personal friend. He's just way more formidable a foe for a great fighter when he was a young man.
Nice job at picking the worst performance of one fighter, while choosing one of the very best of another to best suit your argument... Now, would you care to use some other examples and dare I ask, provide a sylistic analysis?
And then in the post-fight interview he tells Merchant he's not the best in the world, it's James Page instead.
I think people are underestimating comeback Foreman here, afterall he managed to be arguably more competitive against a Peak top 10 ATG, than Peak Vitali was against a very faded, old & undertrained one. I would have no doubts about picking '91 Holy to beat '03 Lewis. In this match-up, I think Foreman's piston-like ramrod jab potentially trumphs the overrated pawing one of Vitali & this version of Old George would land enough heavyhanded bombs to cut open the paper-skinned Vitali & rock him several times. Body punching could be important, as George landed some debilitating body shots on Holy & Vitali was gassed come round 5 against Lewis, likely due to the small amount of powerful body punches landed by the Champion. Do not be fooled by Foreman's weight, he was highly motivated going into his fight for the Undisputed Title with Evander & trained exceptionally hard for war. George would have the sheer physical strength to overpower Vitali in the clinches initiated by Vitali, once he becomes fatigued & hurt as he was against Lewis. Ultimately, I predict Foreman wins via late cuts stoppage. However, Vitali might be ahead on the judge's cards (especially if the judges are bias), so Klit-huggers would claim their hero "won the event" & "would have KO'd him in a rematch".
