Vitali turns 41 today; greatest 41 year old heavyweight ever?

    I think Vitali would do very well against Foreman's come-back competition at this stage, but not so sure how it would pan out if Vitali were Foreman's age in each fight. Foreman had that freak power that was a great equalizer regardless of how slow he got. Vitali doesn't have that, and the attributes that fade with age the most (probably stamina and reactions) are ones which will quite negatively affect Vitali with his hands down, high work rate style.

    At 40 or 41, he would destroy old George Foreman and old Archie Moore.

    I don't know. He hasn't fought anybody as a 41 year old.
