    Eddie Chambers should have gone after Vitali as well instead of Wlad, same for Povetkin. Much more favourable matchups for them.

    If Solis comes in around 230 then we'll all be like "yeah, we're going to get a proper fight!"

    If he's any heavier then that whale is getting harpooned :lol:

    Wait till the weigh in. 245 or lower and go for it. Probably not £100 though

    I know its germany and that blah blah blah but I think the 14/1 on a decision isn't all too bad. If vitali is seriously beaten up over there for 12 rounds they would give solis a decision. Of course he's likely to lose a close desicion but I have a feeling it will be 1 of them fights where either man can win but if they do win, they will do it decisively

    It's like anyone who fights the Klits try out do the others for being overweight and ****.

    Could imagine the contract talks ''you must come in over 260lbs...or no fight''

    hmmmmmmmmm i'm not sure about this fight. David Haye is usaully good at predicting Kiltschko fights.............

    He seems very concerned about Vitali Kilschko in this fight.

    I think Vitali Kiltschko will still win the fight, 12 UD.

    At the end of the day, Solis needs not just to drop some serious "Fat". He needs to be in supream physical condition, and i doubt that he has shown this type of dedication.

    By the sounds of it, he may have dropped afew pounds. But dropping afew pounds is not good enough in my book............

    I really don't see how Solis can beat Vitali, even if he comes in at 240 or around that. I haven't seen one pro Solis fight which made me think he can hang with a Klitscko.

    Say what you like about how Vitali has looked since his comeback, he still fights at a ferocious pace for a HW. Solis will get a pounding.

    Solis should be 235 pounds at most.

    At 245 pounds he is still a fat waster.!!!

    I doubt solis can win a decision, he'd have to school vitali and I don't see that happening

    The over is probably the best option straddled with solis to win

    Although I think Solis won't beat him- I was was watching the Briggs fight again and Klitschko is there to be hit. I see Haye beating him. Briggs hit Klitschko to the body decently a few times and IMO Haye is an underrated body puncher- some of the ones against Mormeck were brutal!

    5/1 isn't too tasty compared to 40/1 Buster Douglas 1990, and he dished out a beat down. I doubt Solis is the man to retire Vitali. Vitali retires Vitali.

    No way he comes in at 230-235.
