Originally posted by LacedUp View PostNo he doesn't. A prime Foreman was just as quick as a prime Vitali. I believe Foreman has a longer reach as well - he had a significant reach advantage on most of his opponents.
Foreman has the power advantage. Not just slightly, his power was awesome. He lifted Joe Frazier off his feet. He could knock everyone out in the world. Including Vitali.

Originally posted by Boxing Goat View PostThe point is that Foreman telegraphed his hard shots and they would be avoided and picked off by Vitali. Foreman may hit harder in one shot but Vitali has stopped a higher % of his opponents.
In comparison Vitali has fought Peter, old Briggs, hide, LL, Charr, Gomez, Arreola, Byrd and Adamek.
Notice the difference? Unless I'm talking to one of the guys who thinks Peter is a better, modern version of Frazier. lol

Originally posted by Simurgh View PostFunny enough, I remember Foreman commenting Lennox-Vitali and saying he would fight Vitali if he beats Lennox.
To answer the question. It's possible but not very likely. Vitali has significant advantage in size, reach and speed.
And who the hell does Vitali have a speed advantage over? A statue? Come on, Vitali is slow as ****.

Originally posted by LacedUp View PostOh is that the point? GF has a 83,5 stoppage % and Vitali has a 87%. Wupti do. George Foreman fought nearly double the amount of times as Vitali and fought well into his late 40's, still knocking people out. He's also fought the likes of Norton, Lyle, Cooney, Frazier twice, Morrison, Holyfield, Moorer, Prime Briggs, Ali etc.
