Vitali Klitschko vs George Foreman FULL FIGHT WRITE UP

To be fair, at least Pat actually posted in the thread and argued his point. The other guy is running around liking everything ant-Foreman, but refuses to dip his toes in the water.

 

True enough.

 

Well, I think that statement would surprise all the men Vitaly beat.

 

You are so right. Ppl forget, that in GF's prime, he had a physical advantage in terms of strengt, weight and height. Most of the men he fought were small 200 to 210 pound heavyweights compared to Vitaly. And the nonsens that their chin was even! Foreman, in his prime, was decked by small 209 pound Young, 220 pound 34 year old Lyle, and 217½ pound Ali, who had lost his legs at 32 years old. I actually think Vitaly would beat out 'big' George quite easily.

 

Wait, what? So Briggs beat Foreman, you say?

 

Foreman has achieved mythic status. That achievement automatically unlocks amplified abilities. Foreman is no longer 220lb and 6'3 but 250lb and 6'6 ... on classic.

 

& Klitschko was a low skill plodder with a strong chin & no punch.

 

LOL he has a higher KO% than Foreman does ... against bigger men.

 

I doubt men like Sam Peter, Danny Williams & Kirk Johnson are ever surprised when beaten given their calibre.

 

Against journeymen.

 

Foreman hit way harder than Vitali. Older Klitschko didn't have the power. His younger brother tho... Jesus, was he a hard puncher.

 

Usyk doesn't rely on size. He "boxes", he is highly skilled, he doesn't use his size to fight. GF relied on being the bigger fighter. Giving up size is not a problem for Usyk, for GF who relied on being bigger it is a huge problem. In addition, Usyk is extremely strong, I saw a video of him doing pull ups, I counted 20, he walks on his hands, etc, if he needs to use strength, it is there, but he doesn't make his whole fight on being the stronger man. He is quick and agile at about the same size (6-3, 220) as GF (The Mummy) was in the 70s and nobody ever accused GF of being quick. Usyk might beat VK, 70s GF wouldn't come close.

VK is not the man to fight if you are much smaller, but your fighting style is all about being the bigger fighter. Usyk has nothing in common with 70s GF except they are the same size. Usyk is a southpaw, quick, agile, has great stamina, is a master boxer...all the things that GF was not.
