    I think he makes an interesting point about the Foreman/Ali fight.

    What if , Foreman would've been endurant enough to last the distance when he fought Ali ?

    Maybe. But in reality no one knows.the likes of Peralta , Forte , Young all went the distance against Foreman. styles make fights. Ali almost lost against a guy who wouldn't be considered as a LHW today (cooper).

    Ali took a lot of punishment to the body but yeah, he wasn't getting a one-sided anything in that fight. He had some beautiful shots against Foreman throughout the fight.

    great vid:good
    you know what you talkin about. KJ is very underrated, and because he is a very difficult fighter to fight, he doesn't get good fights. he will let you look bad, and can beat or outbox you, if you are not in supreme condition and have big power

    difference being foreman was throwing punches with everything behind them trying to end the fight with every punch. vitalis punches are strictly arm punches and are extremely slow and if they are slow, theres not much behind them.
