    We now continue with the QUARTERFINALS of the All-time heavyweight Head-to-Head tournament. Here are your quarterfinalists:

    1. Lennox Lewis
    2. Vitali Klitschko
    3. Muhammad Ali
    4. Larry Holmes
    5. Wlad Klitschko
    6. Mike Tyson
    7. Joe Louis
    9. George Foreman

    As a reminder, here are the rules:
    • Best of three fights.
    • 12 rounds
    • 20 x 20 ring
    • 10 ounce gloves
    Boxers and their camp are given extensive footage of their opponent and have a week to prepare a game plan.
    Boxers are in peak physical and mental condition in their absolute prime.
    After each fight, the fighters are magically restored to their pre-fight condition, but retain full knowledge of what they learned from their opponent and have another week to prepare a revised game plan.

    (2)Vitali Klitschko vs. (7)Joe Louis

    Vitali would wrestle Louis and Vitali would withstand Louis's punches. But I still haven't picked a winner, but I know Louis will win the vote.

    It's pretty close so far. It's far from a given that Louis will win this vote.

    Louis is undersized in this particular fight. Much more talented and skilled, but the size disadvantage, along with the fact he's fighting th iron chinned Klit Bro... Yeah I gotta give it to Vitali

    Louis too small and doesn't have a clear advantage anywhere to offset that

    Favoring VK here.

    The Brown Bomber is no doubt an ATG. But the size difference *just* might have been too much for him in this one. VK ain't no Primo Carnera either.

    That's an easy one. Vitali by brutal and one-sided KO.

    Seems like Vitali is actually pulling away quite comfortably. Would this be considered an upset win?

    Anyone picking louis is being blinded by nostalgia. Vitali shouldn't even be in the same weight class as Louis, it would be very one sided, klitschko KO.
