Just seen this on fightnews and it got me thinking. If you could take the Vitali of 4 years ago and put him in a fight with Peter I would not only fancy him to beat him but to KO him. But after such a long layoff and so many other things like his recent political stands going on in his life not to mention his increased age, can he possibly be as good as he was in 2004?

Also does anyone think he sould have fought a tune up fight first?

V. Klitchko-Peter set for Oct. 11
Former world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs) has solidified the date of Oct. 11 to make his comeback, in Berlin, Germany. Klitschko will face WBC Heavyweight Champion Samuel Peter (30-1, 23 KOs). Klitschko ends a four-year layoff, but has been selected by the WBC to walk into a title fight because of he was crowned “champion emeritus” after retiring.
