    You have no idea what you are talking about.:lol: Vitali doesn't have a jab. He throws a snap jab that has no snap on it. He looks to you like this 10 foot tall unstoppable machine because hes throwing a jab at the latest espn fighter on a roll who can't slip jabs or counter or block or do anything. He fought Lewis (who himself always struggled against jabbers) and his head was rolling all over the place every time Lennox threw a jab.

    In fact anyone who talks about 'training evolution' (50 years of it!) and how tall (giant!) Vitali is clearly is trolling. You got me.

    I don't like Vitali's straight shots with his height against Foreman...

    Freaky, but **** it...... I think a 70s Foreman who lacked skills and guile prolly gets stopped by a 30 something Vitali Klit in a time zone.... Foreman has never really fought dudes who were taller than his 6' 4" inch frame.... NO! Gerald Cooney is not the answer.... Cooney in 1990 at 231 "Gaunt" pounds and "Pale" as a ghost still had a jab, power and improved mobility, thanks to Gilberto Clancy, but his chin and durability was at its worst........

    Foreman at age 40 actually has a better shot at beating the current champion Vitali Klit based on his improved skills and stamina, thanks to the eyes' of Charles Shipes and Angelito Dundee..... YES! Foreman was heavier and slower at age 40, but he was calm, cool, collected and knew what the **** he was doing in the ring like a real solid General..... The Foreman of the 70s was a mere powerful amateur.........

    It's sad isn't it?

    Liston would have eaten Vitali for supper and spit out his bones.

    yes, this is a choir here and it only wants to hear the same tired old song. you have to take their "knowledge" with a sense of humor and rather large grain of salt.

    despite the reach and size advantage, I think Liston takes this one by stoppage.
    He has power and skill advantages, and Vitali really doesn't hit that hard compared to Liston. Both klitschko bros get stopped by Liston IMO, especially wladimir, because of his glass chin.
