I think he would beat Frazier by KO. Just not as fast. He crushes Norton. Yes, he would equal or be better than Foreman overall
Lenny was heavy yes but it’s not like leading up to this fight Lennox was looking worse off then he ever was besides an arrogant moment. Well in my opinion. I’d favour the 2000s Lennox over a great deal of HWs Frazier and Norton would be carved up like a ham for one. Lewis proved his capability in the ring that night against the would be heir and it’s literally his best win for a reason. Next to Fury I think Vitali is largely considered the greatest (H2H) HW since Lennox.
I think when you beat the man you’re by default “the best” even for a fleeting moment one has to acknowledge the accomplishment. Once a fighter wins the championship they usually go downward…who wants to train when you have money and things to do? although the topic is debatable
Right, you were way off topic. The discussion is how Vitali does against Foreman's opponents, not a thread where you can go on your usual tirades bashing Foreman. If Vitali went 0-2 against Byrd and a fat old Lewis with a horrible gas tank, I do not have a lot of confidence that he could beat Ali.
He wasn't "injured" against Lewis, he was legitimately stopped on cuts for having poor defense. And Vitali would never in a million years be up on the scorecards against Ali.
