Vitali Klitchsko: does Peter even have a chance?

To answer the original question, no, Peter does not have a chance.

Vitali could fight him tomorrow and simply be too skilled. You forget how much better Vitali is than Wlad because its been 3 years.

Wlad beat Peter once, and he deserved it. He got clubbed to the canvas 3 times but they were ugly and brutish. He got up and had Peter wobbled at the last and I think could have KO'ed Sam in another two.

And that was Wlad.

Vitali blows Peter out in 8. Tomorrow.

You said it yourself... it's been 3 years, theres gonna be a lot of rust & no knows for sure what the time of has done. Ali was off for 4 & it changed him. To think Vitali enters the ring the same as he was 3 years ago is a little hopeful... with the layoff Peter has a very good chance!

I don't think Vitali's style lends itself to being affected by ring rust....it might actually help him be even more awkward for Sam Peter to fight.

Vitali has a really unique style for this day and age and since Sam Peter never throws any body shots and doesn't move around very well I really don't see a healthy Vitali Klitschko losing to him.

There is always the outside shot of Vitali hurting himself....but I don't see Sam Peter hurting him...I honestly hope Sam fights someone else and Vitali stays retired just for the benefit for a potential rematch between Sam Peter and Wladimir Klitschko further unifying the titles

But 3 years off is going to effect any professional athlete. Down here we call it match fitness, you can be as fit as you want but sparring & fighting are two completely different things. Not even Vitali will know how the layoff has effected him until he gets in the ring

In the defence of the guys who said that Vitali had been abusing steroids it's not actually their fault.

The media upon hearing of Vitali's positive test went with the banner headline "Klitschko admits to steroid abuse."
This contrasted greatly with the article which stated that Vitalki admitted to taking a substance perscribed to him by a doctor for an injury. However it is the headlines that stick in mind.

It's unfortunate that the media can spin things however they want (even negatively). When muscles are weak or experience atrophy doctors sometimes prescribe certain steroids... therefore making it medical/medication prescribed legitimately under the care of a doctor. This does not fall under the lines of abuse or trying to beat the system. If your injured or sick.. you go to the doctor in which him or her devise a plan of how and what to medicate to get the patient well. There was clearly no flying under the radar to get an unfair disadvantage. Now people should know more than ever that his injuries linger so sometimes they prescribe things that aid in healing. Believe me.. those steriods they prescribe for weak muscles will not give you an unfair advantage. You have to be taking some serious stuff and about enough to kill a full grown horse to get "unfair advantages".
