Jameel McCline was inside doin time in Attica and Sing Sing, 11 months in solitary man, so I guess he's not intimidated at all with Vitaly's path of destruction...

Vitali: Peter is what I want to see.

I had to review my post...I was being unfair there

I actually think Vitali coming back could be bad for boxing. Right now Wlad has the best shot of any fighter in recent years of becoming a unified world champ. If Vitali gets hold of a belt we all know they arn't going to fight each other so he just gets in the way of any chance the division has of resolving itself and finding a genuine champion.

I also don't think he has the heart to unify himself. He's pulled out of fights with inury, he's retired through injury and I have no doubt he will do the same again in future.

My bet is that he tries to grab a belt, will defend it once and then be off.

Hopefully it backfires and Sam Peter knocks his ass out.

My thoughts as well. The only way this is good for boxing is in the unlikely event that Wlad and Vitali agree to meet in a brother vs. brother fight to unify the divison. That would be massive, but there is zero chance it will happen. I hope McCline can can somehow pull an upset to disrupt the plans to meet the Peter-Maskaev winner. Then, hopefully Wlad would step in to unify early next year.

Vitali is too tall and his chin is too good for there to be an upset i don't think Vitali is greatest technical fighter in the world with him holding his left that low all the time and i think he is very robotic i actually think Wlad is better boxer than his brother but Vitali will win this.

Vitali should win this easily, its where he goes after that interests me.

If Peter were to beat Vitali then it would lead to a mouthwatering clash with Wlad. Vitali is rusty and his body has aged awfully. Wouldnt surprise me one bit if Peter were to show up Vitali at this stage.

Vitali is 35. He is no saviour of the division!!! I am not addressing that to you Ice!

I will be looking forward to seeing Vitali fighting again. I really would like to see him and his brother fight even though they never will. Even a sparring match would be cool.

I dont really care about unification, I dont know why but i view the Klits as pretty much 1 person anyway so if they both have titles then it's twice the fights which makes me happy

You mean like Sam and Amanda in the Big Brother house? I don't think even the other housemates know which is which yet, I certainly can't tell.

There needs to be two of them though because they have so little personality that it takes two bodies to form one complete person.

The twins from Big Brother I mean not Wlad and Vitali :P
