1991 George Foreman vs Vitali Klitschko

Foreman only needs one shot. Like the kind Sanders pulled in the 1st round.

But I also see a scenario where Vitali hops on his bicycle...Foreman KO 4 or Vitali UD.

 

Foreman is tailor made for Vitali.

Vitali destroys any version of Foreman.

 

Vitali's never been down. Could Foreman put him down? If anybody ever could, Foreman would be the guy IMO. Foreman would have to catch him clean and catch him with more than one shot, could he do that?

If it went the distance who would win?

I see Vitali trying to box from the outside and use movement in order to outbox George. Vitali would stand and trade at times though. During these exchanges how well would George do? Would it be enough to gain the momentum in the fight?

Good fight, I have to think about this one for a while.

 

Vitali skips around Foreman and paintbrushes him all night, pitching a shutout so one sided and bloody the judges won't be able to rob him. Old Foreman is better than the Briggs Vital faced, but he would be just as helpless against Vitali, winding up for one shot and being too slow to find the mark while eating relentless punishment.

 

Maybe so. I could see this happening. Yes, Foreman was better than the Briggs that fought Vitali. Foreman was better than the Briggs that fought FOREMAN or even Lewis. Hell, in '91 Foreman was better than the Foreman that fought Briggs... that's pretty damn good!

 

Foreman scores with his jab, Although Vitali sweeps the
Early rounds. Foreman drops Vitali in the 6th, then walks
him down and finishes the job. Vitali got rocked and stopped
By punchers who had less power then foreman, Vitalis
not surviving this one, his chin is not on the level
Of say Holyfield. Vitalis "defense" would cost him.
Foreman KO6

 

Prime Foreman tko Vitali.

Vitali UD over nineties Foreman.

 

Adamek was better than Arreola and he was just as ineffective against Vitali. You either have the tools or you don't.

I can't see Foreman's lack of mobility and speed leading to anything other than him following Vitali around in his cross armed shell, eating shots to the eyes and side of the head while struggling to get any of his own punches off. Vitali isn't Moorer either, he's more like Evander, one good shot won't do it.

 

Foreman would eventaully catch Vitali with a wild overhand right
That would stagger Vitali, ala the Holyfield fight, then follow
It up with an upercut to drop him. Vitali got cut up in a
Gruesome tko loss to Lewis, it certainly would take one shot
From Foreman to either drop or cut Vitali. Sanders arguably
Dropped him with one shot.

 

I already covered this, and said as much.

If you disagree that's fine.

 

We know Sanders hits pretty hard but not sure what the big deal is. Vitali appeared to get stunned from a counter punch he didn't see coming but denied Sanders' a follow up attack and cleared his head without much of consquence. If anything its yet another demonstration of Vitali's durability.

Claims of him being dropped are pretty outrageous and the footage shows as much, Vitali and Sanders got their feet tangled while wrestling after the fact. Doesn't matter anyway, Vitali was obviously well out of harm's way by that point, its a mute point if you want to count that tumble as a knockdown or not.

And why bother putting Vitali/Sanders under a magnifiying glass when Alex Stewart and Tommy Morrison were way more vulnerable and yet Old Foreman failed to stop them. He couldn't even finish Stewart despite dropping him twice early.
