Vitali has the spirit to fight but I'm not sure his body will allow it....it's a damn shame because he was such a force in the division
Yep a back is definitely bad news. Once your back goes, it doesn't matter how anything else is. There's always next year. Maybe he can come back next year, and with most of the big fights settled in the lower weights, he can bring back some interest to the heavyweight division. Its not looking good tho, he ain't getting any younger.
