    Vitali has 4inches on Foreman, is faster, more power with a better KO %, better footwork, better technique better speed and a better boxing brain & at least equal chin.

    HOW does Foreman win again?

    Oh riiiight he's big, black, American and from the 'supposed' golden age of boxing - I forgot :patsch:patsch:patsch

    Have doesn't have more power than Foreman!
    His knockout percentage has been gained against a lower quality of opponent than that faced by Foreman, please don't argue that either Klit punches as hard as Foreman did.

    Which is it Faster or better speed?

    Foreman wins by brutal battering somewhere in the middle rounds.

    I'm not big, I'm not black and I'm not American so there's certainly no bias from me.

    And yes Foreman did fight during boxings golden era when even the journeymen boxers were of a much higher quality than some of the contenders we see today.

    Wlad/forman could go either way, Defense is great part of wlad game, an you can see in the sanders fight, he was going straight for the kill, an he got countered, so a big name like forman, wlads boxing, an now the question comes does forman land the punches he needs to land,, i say it could go either way,,,,,Vitali i see winning by late KO, hard to see it another way,,,,,

    Normally I don't like to participate in imaginary fight polls. But I have to put my two cents here. Klitschko is faster and more technical. But Foreman wouldn't allowed him to use any of that. Klitschko is not Ali. I think Foreman would rough him up, grab him, push him, and knock his ass out in the late rounds. To me, Foreman is just a beast in the ring. Thank God is a gentleman outside!

    You're a fool. Foreman is one of the hardest hitting Heacyweights of all-time simply because he scores KO's not TKO's. Foreman by mid round TKO.

    Vitali rolls on Foreman.

    Foreman is the size of Gomez and Gomez looked tiny against Vitali.

    Foreman's strengths were being a big, strong guy with a great chin.

    He had an average jab and his technique was average at best. (He swung wildly)

    Vitali TKO10

    I saw Danny Williams knock someone out with a completely dislocated shoulder.

    Vitali's chin isn't undentable. Lewis had him on ***** street with that uppercut.

    If he does that hands down mouth open bull**** against Foreman his chin would get shattered. Literally.

    Size means nothing. Too many Klitschko fans are obsessed with size and that leads them to believe they can beat anyone in history, which is surely not the truth.

    Vitali has a very good chin. The hardest opponent he ever fought was a past prime Lewis. He was stunned by that huge uppercut which proves that while he has a great chin, it's not undentable.

    Vitali is slow and doesn't have great handspeed, his head movement is pretty average and he keeps his hands dangerously low. His defense is really not that great either, Foreman would land constantly on him and KO him in the mid rounds.

    I saw Oleg twice KO Rahman, who KO'd Lewis...does that mean Oleg KO's Lewis as well?
    Vitali had shoulder go out on him...till that point, he was ahead, and would have won if healthy...
    Alot on here also picked Cordoba to slaughter Dunne. So now, do you.see the results of most opinions on here????
