Prime Vitali @ HW vs the best version of any Heavyweight in the history of Boxing(Minus Prime Lennox since we all know what would happen)

or

154 Version of Floyd vs any 154Lber in the history of Boxing(Minus Tommy Hearns.. who is a massive styles disadvantage)
 
Mike Tyson, Ali, Foreman, or Holmes would get the job done. im not 100% confident in Holmes but the rest would definitely beat vitali.

Floyd is pretty small at 154. im positive that Donald Curry would KTFO him, so would Norris. Benitez could beat him in a close, technical fight but i wouldnt bet my life on it. McCallum would tear his ass up too.
 
Who would be a threat to Floyd at 154?
McCallum, Norris, Griffith, Benvenuti
- The best version of Griffith is scary.


Vitali is better than Wlad
I feel that Vitali isn't given enough credit.
Vitali vs Tyson, Holmes, Foreman..

I think probably Vitali...Vitali would deal with Tyson and Foreman anyways IMO, but Holmes..Fuck it, Vitali is better than people think he is.

But I have Floyd Top 10 H2H of all time...The Floyd of the Canelo fight is too smart. I think he's too smart for Griffith, I think Floyd beats everyone else...does he beat McCallum though?

I think Tyson is horrible for both the Klitschko brothers and beats both,
Vitali i think will definately last the distance though.

I would bet my life that Floyd dosen't beat McCallum at 154,
The only reason i picked Vitali over Floyd was because of the Floyd vs McCallum matchup

Floyd probably doesn't make it past Julian Jackson, either. Guys just did not go the distance with this man. You either stop him, or he stops you. Floyd just doesn't have enough power here. Too small. Terry Norris beats him here, too. 154 just isn't a good weight for Money. Not when you match him against history.

How would Vitali deal with Foreman and Tyson exactly? They both have a ridiculous amount of power and Vitali can't outbox them nor outfight them. Tyson would explode mid range and have too much speed and power. Foreman would bomb on him. Pretty simple.

Who did Vitali beat that is comparable to a prime Tyson anyway? Shit, even Prime Tyson's explosiveness?

Canelo is not Griffith, not even close. Griffith hits harder than Canelo & is leagues better in the art of boxing. Don't be fooled by Floyd shitting on Canelo, he wouldn't be able to do that to ATG light middleweights. Curry would've fucking bombed on Floyd. Floyd lacks the power at 154 to KO Curry and Curry's unpredictability in his attacks would prove fatal to Floyd's game.

It's ok m8, you can say that Floyd would lose to McCallum, it's not the end of the world. :yep

Vitali cant outbox foreman? really?

I don't think he would be able to pull it off, Foreman would apply too much pressure, he was truly relentless in his prime.

In order to outbox Foreman you had to have the accuracy, speed, & timing of Muhammad Ali, otherwise you were most likely fucked. Jimmy Young pulled it off but only after Ali destroyed the Foreman mystique.

I realize that Vitali was very durable, but he would be tasting power that he's never felt before in the professional ring.

This is not Corrie Sanders he would be facing. This is Big George Foreman, one of the most powerful HWs of all time.

Youre also talking from only the perspective of Foreman's offense, but can foreman take what Vitali is countering? Vitali's stamina is excellent and hes not so easy to hit cleanly, he fights tall and has good reflexes. If Foreman doesnt get the KO in the first half of the fight, what is the second half of the fight going to look like for him?
