    Vitali Klitschko wants to make one more comeback and get his WBC title back. How you see Old Vitali to do against Deontay Wilder?

    Well, he certainly isnt 40lbs overweight, gonna spend his months of camp trying to drop down to a respectable weight only to come into a HW fight plodding forward with nothing resembling a jab.
    He's not gonna wing shots that fall an inch short over and over and over again either.

    He'd have a significant size advantage over Wilder. The far superior jab, needless to say, the far sturdier and more proven chin, and questionably, arguably more power.

    Wilder would have a speed advantage, but Vitali's never had trouble cutting off a ring in his dozen or so HW title fights.

    I would give Wilder 6 rds surviving off the back foot before Vitali put him down and out.

    Dunno, Vitali was past it when he retired but even a past it Vitali would blow Windy's house down. Champion Emeritus so he just has to press the button.

    As a Vitali fan I'd love it if he did this but it isn't going to happen. I'd have him as a big favourite despite his inactivity and age. With his size, durability and superior skills he'd be all wrong for Wilder. The fight might ressemble the Sanders fight. Wilder's speed and power see him have success early but Vitali beats him down and stops him.

    Delusional posts in here.

    Vitali was stiff as a plank against Charr.

    He was slow as a snail , couldn't keep his hands up , was punching with no power and was clearly gassing out by only the 3rd round.

    Those rapid hard 1-2s by Wilder would be just to much for the old Champ to take.

    If Vitali can come back almost 2 years after that poor showing whats to say Larry Holmes can't come back and beat Wilder too:patsch:roll:

    Non-Sense. Vitali is the mayor of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine a country in a civil war. Vitali has different things to worry about than getting back some meaningless boxing belt.

    Povetkin, Chambers, Charr, Jennings, Wlad, Perez, and Pulev all would beat Wilder clean and he's gonna have to face one of them soon so Vitali probably wouldn't fight him anyways. I'd even give Fury and Briggs an edge over Wilder.

    Vitali would beat him, but Vitali is now the mayor of Kiev. Not a chance in him returning.

    Impossible. Vitali doesn't fight fast fighters who aren't fat. The only time he did, he got rope-a-doped into submission.

    Vitali has his hands full running the eighth largest city in Europe at the moment.
