    Yes the great ring cutter who only successfully caught the revered “mover “Kenny Norton? I also ask what is a good fight to see George’s famous jab? The Olympics? Only as an Old man? When did Foreman look good forcing anyone to “engage, trade and fight?” One eyed 5ft10 shot Frazier? Because he didn’t look too good against Lyle not even Jimmy Young Who rocked him multiple times and dropped him, so too did Ali who both manhandled and stopped him in a one sided fight.

    He fought Mercer? - Why mention a shot obese Qawi? The fight where he was outboxed by Morrison… one of the worst contenders of his era? What does his career as an old man have to do with this bout? You’re writing a book?

    This would have been one of the easiest fights of George’s career. He took out more mobile targets than Vitali and if you’re a concrete-footed lump like Vitali, it makes no difference how good your chin is because Foreman is going to obliterate it.

    Vitali is simply too easy a target for a killer like Foreman.

    Foreman KO 3.

    I would say the Lyle, Young and Ali fights proved GF was as easy a target as your making out VK to be. I have to ask did you know that the difference in size between GF and VK is greater than Ali vs Patterson? Did you know that Foreman was beaten by Jimmy Young who lost to a 10-0 Ossie right after beating Foreman?

    What movers? Peralta an end of the road LHW? also why would Foreman taking out moving targets even matter? He was beaten up at every range - Jimmy Young stood there and belted him, Ali in front of him on the ropes… KO’d him (after man handling GF) and Ron Lyle could’ve done the job, sloppily fighting on even terms… Why I ask would Vitali change his style to suit Foreman? Based on the Norton fight? Based on the Frazier fight? :sisi1

    I meant Moorer was a typo and the point is Foreman faced the better fighters even at 40+ his resume craps all over Vitalis

    Who were these great opponents Vitali fought and what were his results against them Georges record against those mentioned above is 6 wins and 3 losses two of those losses coming way past his prime

    I I didn’t say Vitali was some “Great” (neither is GF) just that he’d have beaten Foreman. Question for you when was GF ever the best HW in the world? Many would debate Vitali was at one time, but neither were clearly the best. Based on what I’ve seen of 70s GF? I’d say one of the biggest differences between him and Samuel Peter is one is in HD.

    The fact that you think Foreman is not a great is the stupidest thing Iv seen on this forum and Iv read Miniqs posts

    He was the second best fighter in the toughest era the 70’s and a top ten fighter in the second best era the 90’s

    2x Heavyweight champion
    Olympic Gold medalist
    Oldest world champion
    Three KO wins over ATG fighters in Frazier and Norton
    Involved in the biggest heavyweight fight in history at the time against Ali in a fight that wasn’t some one sided beat down Muhammad even said himself had he have not resorted to the rope a dope he most likely would have been knocked out

    Really Foreman is easily top five greatest heavyweights of all time

    But for some reason you are blown away at Vitalis amazing performance against Chisora someone who he couldn’t knock down but Haye blasted away in five the following fight

    You're really a button masher aren't you?

    Every time somebody disagrees with you, you jump in here and mash away.

    IDGAF how much difference in weight there is between Vitali and George. George hit harder, had a bigger heart and had more strings to his bow. He beats Vitali to a bloody pulp and leaves him in the fetal position crying for his mother.

    Why couldn't he beat little Jimmy Young to a pulp? What if the fight goes past 5 and Vitali is still there?

    People like to criticize Vitali's resume but after Frazier Foreman's resume is pretty thin too.

    You act as if that means anything as if “ATG” “Great” is some classification of Pokemon or video game term. it’s all forum talk for lists. Did Foreman have an “ATG” win on his resume when he beat Frazier? Bowe against Evander? No. We aren’t arguing for a place on a “ATG” List we are arguing who would win in a bout. I’d say Ingo has one “great” win does he too beat Vitali? Or would you figure that bout out using what you could see?

    Foreman’s resume is pretty thin, is it?

    Just when you think you’ve read every halfwitted, moronic comment in this place. You might have just made the single dumbest statement in the history of this or any other forum.

    Wow

    VK would be fighting one of the smallest men he ever fought in GF (6-3, 217-20) and the Cruiser weight sized GF would be fighting like a big fighter since he was huge in his era. He pushed and shoved smaller fighters and then hit them with wide punches and he didn't bother with much defensive skill. VK would stop him in the first 4 rounds easily, depending on how quickly GF fatigues from trying to fight a much bigger man who stays busy and is constantly hitting him with punches.

    These "Full Fight Write Up" fantasies are funny to read, but not to be taken seriously. This one reads like Lennox Lewis - VK, the last one like GF - Lyle, the next will probably be Mike Tyson vs. GF and surprise, it will read like GF vs. Joe Frazier. The myth of 70s GF continues with his adoring fans who apparently only watch his fights with nightclub singer Frazier (unmotivated, out of shape, under trained) and Ken Norton. They should watch the Peralta, Ali, and Young fights to see what happens when the fight is not a two round blow out. GF never fought anybody similar to VK. VK is all wrong for a small guy who tries to fight as the bigger man.
