Video: Vitali Motioning at Adamek to Get Up

Exactly. Foreman and Adamek are in no way the same size.

 

big george was 6'4 and a good ol 240 - 260 and tomaz was what 6'1 220 ?
vitali did what he was suppose to do, that pacman **** dont work at hw lol. what i saw last night it was i thought i would see over and over, when manny was fighting the likes or oscar, clottey, cotto and margarito inspite of the catch weights. see tomaz needed a catch weight stand chance against vitali.vitali cant come in no more then 230, let vitali kill his self makin weight and then see what happens.

 

Foreman in his prime was nowhere near that weight!

 

Yeah no Vitali's reaction each time he hurt Adamek was interesting. Both merciful and sadistic. It could only be those things. He was packing way more firepower than the guy he was subplotting and he knew it.

 

Tomazs getting up after such a shot was more badass than Vitali telling him to get up to be honest. :hat

 

it was Liston at 215 That was then considered huge in 1960.

Touch of Sleep, Haye or Adamek at 215 is very light today.

Foreman was 225, which was Huge....back then 15 extra pounds over a 210-+ Frazer was a lot...
For the time, Ali/Foreman were very tall heavies at 6 foot 3".
Ali's 217 was 'big' vs a normal absolute top shape 'big' 209 for Holmes.
At that time 220 was real big. Soon Holmes would be coming in at 220 non chiseled for most of his fights.

 

It was a bit ****ish really. Perhaps Adamek should have kicked out at Klitschko like Vitali did to Lewis.

 

Foreman was 217,5 when he beat Frazier and he wasn't exactly ripped either. His frame is definitely bigger than Adamek's though. Altough if he was around today, he wouldn't get called "Big" George Foreman for sure.

 

adamek and foreman are similar in size, foreman was slightly bigger and was stronger for sure but u need to look at this "power" thing from perspective. Foreman was fighting mostly 190- 210 lbs fighters while adamek mostly fights 230+ fighters. I'm sure foremans power wouldnt be nothing sensational today, especially if he fought 230 and more guys.

 

Also it's funny how they compare vitali's, wlad's or lewis's KO's over big 230-240+ guys to foremans KO's over 190- 215 lbs boxers. And then they say foreman is bigger puncher because he KO'd in better fashion those small guys in the 70's. I mean only a guy who has no fukin idea about the sport can say **** like that.

 

one interesting point was in the eight or something when Vitaly went down, if Adamek could connect with the strong punch during that time it could be a legit KD or even the fight could be over ....

 

Exactly this is ridiculous, no way is Adamek the same size and weight as Foreman.












He is actually the same size and weight as a prime Ali, possibly with more muscle.

 

Its a hairy hoofed animal that grazes on grass and has horns. And charges your ass if you bend over.
