Ali NEVER fought at a blistering pace....sure he had spurts where he flurried but that was just it....flurry, dance, flurry, clinch.....repeat
Foreman was a great fighter but could have been better technically
Vitali should be close to the top 30 heavyweights seeing how he has lost only 2 times and has KO'd all but one of the guys he has beaten. As a champion he leaves more to be desired but if he wins 50 title defenses he'd be one of the best heavyweights EVER if not THE BEST....that is highly unlikely but if he did it vs anyone it would be a great feat as 25 title defenses is the best so far and 50 would double that.
