Vitali Klitchsko: does Peter even have a chance?

[NorthSideX4]

INO, Vitali has always been better than Wlad & seems to beat everyone that beat Wlad for Wlad! Dont get me wrong Wlad has good boxing skill, but Peter may beat him this time unless he faces Vitali & INO Vitali will KO Peter!

[amat]

Is this happening?

I still don't think Vitali ever makes it back in the ring and after such a long lay off, I definitely do not think it's a good idea to jump right in the ring with Peter who is no animal but definitely has the tools to capitalize on ring rust.

I think you mean Vitali beats those who beat Wlad.

Vitali has been inactive & all those years of steroid abuse in the amateurs have taken their toll on Vitali's body (recurring injuries).

I think if that is Peters next fight he may beat Vitali.

"All those years of steroid abuse".....fuck off, he tested positive ONE TIME and now he's fucking Mr. Roids....you're fucking insane.



When it comes down to a Vitali-Sam Peter fight if Vitali is healthy he'll win if not then it's going to get ugly

Steroids are steroids. Testing positive once does not mean he only took them once!!! See how I didn't need to swear... it's called being an adult!!!

Testing positive once does not mean that Vitali used them all his life either....your reasoning is fucking stupid, it needs the cursing in there to describe just how poor your logic is.

Did I say all his life... don't remember that. You can quite easily use steroids for years without detection if their used properly. Did he test positive? Yes! Was it the 1st time he had used them? I doubt it... just the 1st time he got caught!!!

No offence...but you are a bloody idiot!

All those years of steriod abuse? Like wtf?!!! As Lyle said it was ONE TIME! Years? Wtf.
And you know what the situation was? It was a doctor prescribing them to Vitali for a muscle problem, with Vitali unaware what exactly it was. The doctor even backed him up admitting to it.

When I read your quote...I was speechless...years of steroid abuse?! Seriously what the f*ck?! That's...that's friking ridiculous.

[Lance Uppercut]

I think common sense would dictate, that if he got caught using steroids, he probably used them more then once. Also, his inability to finish training camp without an injury is consistent with someone who abused steroids earlier in their life.

I agree that consistent injury COULD mean that he abused steroids in the past, but it could just as easily be coincidence.. Jose Canseco, a baseball player to those who don't know him, was notorious for being 'Juiced' and stated that critics would constantly say that he was unable to play due to injury because of his roid abuse.. but the doctors agreed with him when he stated that if it wasn't for the steroid use he wouldn't have last as long as he did in the first place, so really it was the opposite.. he needed the roids to make him strong enough to overcome his ailments..

anyway, my point is that just cause he keeps getting injured doesn't necessarily mean it's due to the steroids.. I'm sure he used them more than once, but i don't know if i'd go as far as abusing them..

No offense but open your eyes to the real world! If I was a doctor & you threw me a couple a bucks I'd dance a jig & say want ever you wanted as well. Whats ridiculous is people trying to make excuses for cheating!!!

[SweetPea]

Of course Peter has a chance, a very very good one.

Vitali hasn't fought in over 3 years! Do people think he's just going to step in the ring and not show any rust?

I agree, if Vitali can stay healthy enough to get in the ring he's gonna have a lot to handle. I think Peter has a great shot at winning!!!

[ArawakWarria]

Wow... there seem to be alot of people working to take this post off track, but even more keeping it focused.

Here's my two...

VK has been out for years, and it would be suicide to come back after injury and long layoff to fight a powerful, agressive fighter like Peter. Could he win? Yes, but it is a rusty puncher's chance. You just won't see the crisp straight shots that he used to launch.

On the side notes, just type in "steroids, long-term side effects" on a g**gle search and you will see that what he is going through is exactly that--a breakdown from consistent steroid use. It doesn't have to be lifelong use, but it is way more than once. Whether it caused the deterioration, or it was hiding old injuries is irrelevant. Once he stops using, the truth comes out. Let's also remember that extremely tall people do tend to have joint and bone problems as they get older.

With all of that said, I really don't ever want to see him fight again.

Peter needs to remember that he actually knows how to box a little now. Everytime he did it against Maskaev, he was effective; when he got all 'savage caveman,' he put himself in trouble. Savage style will easily get him KO'd by any good boxer with a chin.

[El Kabong]

That whole "steroids, long-term side effects" is bullcrap the guy has fought for a LONG time and he's old. You're making an assumption saying it's steroids that caused his injuries and making frivilous statements like that is dangerous.

Vitali had 195-15 record as an amateur, 35-3 record as a pro boxer, and a record of something like 34-1 as a professional kickboxer. That totals it up to 283 fights....and with him being 6'8 or so and with a style where his posture is horrible and he's always throwing power punches he's BOUND to have back trouble....hell Rocky Marciano had back trouble that forced him to retire....you going to tell me he used steroids? I have back trouble from throwing power punches and I'm 6'1 and only 25 years old....I don't use steroids.


All you guys whining about the fucking steroids need to give it a fucking rest
