    To be fair it's coming from a person who thinks Julian Jackson couldn't punch. Surely differing opinions are sometimes looked down on here, but one must take a look at themselves every once in a while and think about whether they're simply in the wrong, or stating outrageous things in order to get a reaction from other posters of the forum.

    Foreman smashes Vitali inside 5 brutal rounds.
    Vitali doesn't have good enough movement or jab, he'll be forced to trade with Foreman and nobody can win trading punches with Foreman. I see Foreman cutting off the ring, keeping him there with superior strength and destroying Klit in the corner. Can Vitali's vulnerable body take Foreman's vicious power punches and will his overrated chin stand up to his deadly uppercuts (which are more devestating than any Lewis's uppercuts, let alone the version he faced)...no not for long. Horrendous cuts to the face of Klit are likely too, if he isn't KO'd soon enough.

    Because i don't think julian jackson would walk through jermain taylor in 1 round means i think he couldnt punch? He was a hard hitter, not a nuclear powered juggernaut that bombs out everyone in one round.

    This forum is ****ing rediculous. If you EVER question the status quo you get a page and a half or responses telling you to stop posting, burn your computer etc.

    I dont know how anyone could say Vitali wins when hes never beaten anyone on the level of a prime George Foreman. Foreman could make guys fight, he was all wrong for Vitali.
    The one intangible that makes heavyweights great has never shown in Klitschko.

    You can question it, just have a valid arguement. I think some of your points overlook the facts of Vitalis shortcomings and resume.

    How many people were picking Jackson in round 1? Maybe one. You're just overreacting and criticizing everyone here. Every poster on this forum is an individual with different opinions. You're not the only one that goes against the grain.

    Just leave out the personal attacks at the door and there won't be a problem.

    I like Vitaly a lot, and still hope that he will hang around and get some great fights even though he said that he is retiring this year, but as of now, he just does not have the wins on the record to be compared to Foreman.

    A whole ****ton were picking jackson within the first 4 rounds.

    I'm overreacting? Fighting Weight and suzieQ generated 20+ replies of ad homs and shitposts with no analysis of the matchup besides "HURR WHO HAS VITALI EVER BEATEN!?!?!?".


    Vitali doesn't have a single win as good as Jess Willards win over Jack Johnson, But could you really justify picking jess willard in a fight over vitali judging from what you've seen on film of them?

    You're criticizing the Classic forum as a whole, not particular posters that you have a problem with. I haven't come across too many better places to discuss boxing, and I disagree with people frequently.

    I remembered Osceola posting that Jackson's power was overrated for some reason. It doesn't matter anyway. I get annoyed at people criticizing the Classic forum, when they only have a problem with a handful of posters. In my opinion there aren't too many (if any) forums better than this for boxing discussion.

    I said people were overrating jackson's power because they all thought he'd bomb taylor out in <4 rounds.

    Evidentially, not thinking jackson hit harder than 90 foot tall, mechanical, nuclear powered joe frazier is absurd and i should be banned for life.
