  2. it would turn into a war just like vitali lewis only problem his foreman hits harder then lennox and vitalis hands low is a recipe for disaster so foreman kos him early unless vitali gets him first but thats unlikely

    Vitali like pressure boxers, so he can counterpucnh them all night. Foreman is a hell of a fighter, so it would be ofcourse a very hard fight for both.
    Vitali is bigger and a better boxer, so i would favor Vitali by late stopage!

    Foreman1 or Foreman2. Two totally different fighters.

    I think Foreman had two primes:nonoand before I get jumped, let me explain.

    The first Foreman that was rolling over opponents was prime even after Ali, but his mind was ****ed......
    The second Foreman was prime @ 41 y/o when he fought the 209 lb Holyfield. Crazy as it may sound, that Foreman was very patient, and a lot more mentally tough than the first Foreman.

    So we really have 4 different versions of Foreman to put against 4 different versions of Vitali, the final version, we've yet to see:think

    PreByrd Vitali probably loses a decision or by TKO to pre Ali Foreman. Although it would be a barnburner for sure. 2001-2004 Vitali beats all versions of Foreman.
    2004-pres Vitali wins a decision or by TKO over Foreman 1, but could not T/KO Foreman2, no way. But he would decision him 8/10 times, with Foreman2, landing that OH R and T/KOing Vitali 2/10 times.

    Tiny Foreman loses.
    What was that name of that then ex Lt.Heavy Plaatta?? who gave him a hard time. Or Young.....

    Don't forget, Foreman of today is a small heavy of only 6 foot 3 and only 225 with many weaknesses, that he got away with by being Huge in his Day, and having a big reputation..

    He'd be fighting some one who hits as hard as he does, is bigger, is faster and has reach, and a better coach.

    Prime for prime Foreman wins. Any version of Foreman beats
    Any version of vitali. Foreman has a better jab, a better chin,
    more power more heart. Vitali will get bombed out early. Vitali would
    Not be able to avoid foremans loopong bombs. Vitali has never beat
    An elite fighter, and a prime vitali got stopped by an over the hill lewis.
    Young foreman too powerful too determined old foreman too clever and
    Patient. Foreman by knockout in 1 to 3

    I agree, VK's power is the most overrated of his game . . . he beats fighters by wearing them down. I would give him 6-8 rounds with big George . . . he is not fast enough and is too brave to avoid the real power in Georges hands. Prime George was a Bull and old george was a tank

    Hard fight to call, I would say Foreman wins and wins by KO in about 5. Vitali has never feared a fighter, he would have feared prime Foreman and that alone would be his doom.

    If it had been a 4 round fight Foreman would have beaten Ali.
