    ali fought foreman.....foreman had an 82 inch reach....vitali's reach was 80

    Vitali v Ali

    Speed - huge advantage Ali
    Power - advantage Vitali
    Feet - huge advantage Ali
    chin - equal
    boxing ability - advantage ali
    accuracy - advantage ali
    punch output - advantage ali
    more exciting to watch - huge advantage ali

    in a 12 round fight I'd have Ali winning 8 rounds to 4
    People also forget that Liston had an 84" inch reach! And I'm sorry but how can you give them equal chins? As mentioned before, Ali faced and defeated some of the hardest hitters in history - Vitali hasn't come across anyone like a Shavers, Foreman or Liston in terms of punching power

    Alright fairplay you have me there...the Lewis fight is a great example too. Although I will say I don't feel Vitali has had his chin tested to the same extent as Ali
