    I guarantee he's been melting down the "report abuse" button like the little baby he is. Just like his big brother Dino.

    The mods probably have a stack of reports up to their chins.

    Foreman in the early rounds. Vitali would be right there and Foreman was an absolute monster prior to tasting defeat.

    I said I'm ignoring you, who is claiming I always pick the white over black person, when half my last pics are for white.

    Now thats clear, goodbye to you personally for attempting to race bait, I want no part of your attempt to lie regarding race, because I respect the forum rules on not doing it, thats all.

    I watched Foreman train back in early 1974 at the Playboy club in northern NJ. Also have watch Frazier, Shavers and Ali do the same. The power of George’s punches as he pounded and moved a 300 pound heavy bag like it was nothing still resonates in my mind. Can’t imagine anyone hitting harder. He steamrolls either Klit brother within 4-5 rounds.

    70s George struggled over two fights with 6'0 195lb Peralta and if Lyle can go life and death, so can Klits.

    That was not the best Foreman. His bout with Lyle was probably Foreman at his worst in actuality. The Foreman who fought Norton would crush most every hwt champion before or after him with only rare exceptions.

    Norton would have his work cut out vs Vitali, altho I'd agree Foreman's performance vs him was outstanding.

    Norton is a different fighter in all respects. Foreman was a human force of nature in his prime. His power was off the charts.

    What does Ranier and McVey think? Vitali had the longest measured reach on HBO. 29.5" arms measured from the pit of the arm to the fist. Lennox Lewis was 29". He had a longer jab. Foreman didn't feature much of a jab. And he would be in over his head, and outclassed, vs probably the best puncher the 70's version of Foreman ever faced.

    I have an idea. Let the ban count appear next to the poster name. And mods should ban all posters with Alt's. We know who they are.

    Untrue. Prime Foreman’s jab was termed the “best left jab since Joe Louis”. George would walk forward and hit either brother with punches that would give them immediate thoughts of “I quit”. Then they would be knocked out. The Klits would not be able to take what George brought to the table.
