Vitali would beat Peter if they fought,Peter couldn't beat Wladimir and that was with 3 knockdowns in the fight and Vitali would not be knocked down even once if they fought.Vitali also punches much more acurately than Peter does and throws straighter punches.I don't see how Peter could win a decision over Vitali.

And as far as Vitali taking a tune up bout, I would love to hear what boxer in their right mind would bypass this opportunuty to take a tuneup fight instead?Everybody knew that Vitali would get an imediate shot at the title holder if he came back, well he is back and he is playing by the rules!
