Vitali v Foreman

First topic message reminder :

Who wins? Foreman is ranked in most people's top 10 ATG heavyweight mainly off the back of his demolition of Frazier and Norton. Also winning the title back at age 45. A phenomenal puncher and a very intimidating fighter. But after watching many of his early fights, was he that good? Arguably Joe and Kenny were made for him.

But Vitali is an entirely different proposition. A good boxer with excellent skills coupled with a very good jab. Watching some of George's fights, he wings his punches in, in huge arcs. He pawed his jab and clubbed his opponents. Vitali would spear in a jab and keep out of Foreman's way. Plus he would be able to take some of George's punched when they did land. I can see Vitali winning a wide UD over 15 rounds with Vit weathering the early storm. I wouldn't write of a late KO either. Vitali is under-appreciated and perhaps Foreman over-rated.

Thoughts?

I think I'm the most impartial person here on these two fighters. I can't stand either of them so axes to grind with both. No way was Lewis going to stop him without the cuts. Vit was hardly wobbled in comparison o Lewis. Plus Lewis was equally gassing if not more. It would have been survival of the fittest and it would have been a very close decision either way.
