What if Vitali returned RIGHT NOW. Has anyone seen him? he says he still hits the gym all the time, and looks in perfect shape. Would present day Joshua beat Vitali today?
I'm a big Vitali fan but Joshua would wreck him "TODAY". Let's be realistic. Vits is an old, old man by boxing standards, I don't care how much gym he has been doing.
He could do a Big George Forman and take AJ Wilder and Fury all on the same night back to back. Shattered glass everywhere... Then he could smash Lewis to bits finally getting his revenge..
Vitali has never been wrecked. only once in a completely different sport, kickboxing, where he was KO'd with a kick
After a wild night of partying in the night of Kiev with his buddies from the parliament Artem and Miroslav, Vitali gets home completely plastered and passes out in the couch. Wake him up in one hour, no coffee, two slaps in the face, ringwalk with his towels and bathrobe on, get him in the ring with Joshua. Vitali by brutal KO3.
Vitali learned the hard way to never quit again, he proved it vs Lennox Lewis...So until Joshua proves he is willing to lose an eye to win a fight...Vitali will always be a favorite
Felt that way before the Ruiz fight. AJ is a good fighter, good enough to beat a past it Wlad & maybe a prime one, but not Big Bro in his prime!
