Can Vitali be the same after 4 years out!

[rjj tszyu]

It's not that Vitali's chin is better he just takes the shots better....Wlad got CRUSHED by a left cross from Corrie Sanders that was right on the money and Wlad got back up...it's not like Wlad gets knocked out cold he just doesn't deal with the punch as well as Vitali.


I really think Vitali's best attribute is his awkward style, it's a throwback style where he's leaning back and can fire off from lots of different angles. Sam Peter is going to be ducking and diving every which way to get away from the punches but Vitali will have his number: Jab, left hook, right cross, uppercut....he's got all the tools and he's definently going to do the Klitschko 1-2, jab, swat guard down, right cross

I hope your right Lyle we need as much class in the HW division as we can get and I don't think Peter is the man to add it whereas we know if Vitali can still do it he is.

Well if Sam Peter can take out Vitali it shows he does have some class....I really would rather see Wladimir rematch Sam Peter as I think Wlad would be extremely dominant this go round and KO Peter.


No matter the outcome of this fight I want one of the Klitschko's to fight Nicolay Valuev and finally rid the boxing world of him. If we had Wladimir-Valuev and Vitali-Ruiz then I think people would be more excited than they are about Valuev-Ruiz II, Vitali-Peter, and Wladimir-Povetkin

Yes I know but its all the boxing politics BS. We have had to put up with it for years now. I wouldn't be surprised if Ruiz outpoints Valuev tonight by the way. But I'd fancy Wlad to KO Valuev no problem.

Yeah he's big but thats all Wlad would run rings round him and KO him. No-one can stand upto Wlads best shot (which to me is the straight right that is set up by the jab) and Valuev doesn't have the speed or skill to stop it landing.

From ESPN.COM

"I look at this as the most difficult fight of Samuel Peter's career," Duva said. "Vitali hits harder than his brother, and I think in his prime -- say, five years ago -- he was a better fighter than Wladimir ever was."


"And the inactivity, you could look at in a couple of ways," Duva added. "One is that he might be a bit rusty, but the other is that Vitali Klitschko might just be fresh as a daisy -- and that's a pretty scary thought."

That would be great if he comes in fresh as a daisy.

I don't think Vitali hits as hard as Wladimir....he certainly doesn't have the same type of power as Wlad

He may not be as good as Wlad technically but he does have a better chin.
