Who was faster? Prime Vitali or Prime Foreman?

    :huh sanders and lewis did connect on him pretty good. he has good reflexes and slips a lot of shots but his chin is definitely proven, and better than foreman.

    But I agree with the other guy that foreman didnt have a bad chin early on. Tyson has a pretty good chin too but he has been stopped and in the case of douglas he was undertrained and tired. I think the same is with foreman

    Faster hands? Maybe that's an split call. Better defensive reflexes? Vitali wins hands down. Foreman wasn't very flexible and used his high guard to deflect punches. Vitali relies on reflexes.

    Now they're going to tell you the point is moot because Foreman faced all those hard-hitting ATG monsters from the 70s and Vitali has only faced a bunch of journeymen bums :lol:
