George Foreman V Vitali Klitschko

Foreman's greatest win is CW Frazier and chinny Norton.

No

For half the fight. Power means jack**** when you cannot land your punches.

Cutting off the ring against a bigger stronger guy would get Foreman outmuscled and tired.

 

Foreman was a very limited boxer. He would lose to many stick and move types. Silly to make him even money.

Untested against the SHWs.

 

Vitali already keeps his arms down, and Foreman's powerful body shots keep them there. Foreman then goes upstairs and begins breaking down the robotic upright Vitali with his heavy jab and uppercuts. Vitali would not be able to simply fight tall and keep Foreman at the end of his straight shots because he cannot outjab him and can't use the ring to assert his range. Although Vitali had good solid power himself, a great chin, and had good fundamentals, he doesn't have the punch selection or strategy to beat Foreman.

All of the men who beat Foreman had to fight on the back foot or use lateral movement and counters to tire him out. Vitali's size means he would have little success doing this. He could try to slug it out, hoping his superior stamina and late round work rate will give him the edge. The only problem is Foreman hit harder with each shot with power in either hand, wider variety of blows, and the better natural fighter up close. Unless Vitlai manages to make him gas, he is not winning. Part of the reason Foreman got so tired in his losses in the 70's was that his opponents made him miss a lot and it was a hot outdoor arena. He would not have any trouble landing on a big target like Vitali.

I would say Foreman TKO more often than not. It certainly doesn't go all 12, let alone 15 regardless of the winner. Both guys too aggressive and powerful.

 

How can anybody say that Vitali had better jab than Foreman amazes me so much...

 

He could jab for 12 unlike George.

 

Rocky Marciano could jab for 12 as well, does it mean he had a better jab than Foreman?

 

Pfp he might.

 

Come on...

 

Vitali was far superior at maintaining range with a jab than Foreman. Foreman threw it with power and got himself in trouble if the opponent stayed upright after five or six rounds.

 

Foreman had stamina issues and perhaps some chin issues as Ali Ko'd him. And Ron Lyle nearly did the same. Of course Jimmy Young dropped him and made him see god. Foreman best shot is early, I think we all need to admit that. Vitaly rarely got caught with combos and would easily out box Foreman. I think Vitaly had the better chin and stamina, Foreman the power, but Vitaly for sure hit had enough and had the skills.

Some think Foreman had a jab. Not in the 1970s by his own words the jab knocked the other fighter out of range so he seldom used it. VK TKO in 9

 

I don't think you'll find anyone who will agree with you on that statement.

 

You would be wrong.

 

Yeah Foreman got has stamina issues because he got tired in 1 fight. Okay by that logic Vitali is a quitter because he quit in one fight. Also Foreman wasn't knocked out by Ali. He was knocked down because of fatigue. Foreman took bombs from Tommy Morrison a much bigger puncher than Vitali. I know what you will type. Foreman's chin got better doing his comeback. Which makes no sense. Your chin doesn't get better with age. If anything it gets worse

Vitali's power is a so great that he couldn't faze Lennox Lewis with it. Vitall's power is so great that he couldn't knock out Derek Chisora yet Dave Haye a blown up cruiser weight smashed him. His chin was so great that Corrie Sanders had him chicken dancing around with ring with one punch.

Do you even watch boxing kid or do you just repeat stuff you hear other people say. I am assuming you are European. European's are by far the most biased boxing fans.

Vitali beat who in his career? A fat old Shannon Briggs? A fat Kirk Johnson? I know he beat old faded Larry Donald? Wait I know he beat blow up cruiser weight Juan Carlos Gomez?

Vitali didn't fight anybody. He fought either old men and tomato cans. That is why he didn't get hit often. If Chris Byrd could make Vitali quit then Foreman would take his soul.

 

That's the most American thing you can imagine Are you aware that Europe isn't one country and people have different biases in different countries? Most Europeans are more biased towards America than Russia and post-USSR countries.

Here is a roughly 5 minute highlight reel of Vitali vs Lennox Lewis. Watch how many times Lewis landed a jab that either pushed Vitali back or buckled his knees. VItali was constantly getting hurt and had to grab and hold on. This is against a old fat unmotivated Lewis.
