    He's slipping a bit imo... Haye will land some nice shots for sure on the 39yr old Vitali.

    It's a more interesting fight for me now than it was a year ago.

    Hes slipping but its not like hes vastly slipping and even a slipped and past prime Vitali would beat 99% of the division..(Wlad). Vitali might not be in his "prime", but Vitali is without a doubt still in great fighting shape and still is a physical specimen. He is in great conditition.

    Its good that he is slowly slipping cause now hes finally gonna get some competition in his fights.

    If they were black they'd be a discrace to the African American community like Micheal Steele

    when he actually starts losing rounds then you can say he is slipping. He was off 4 years came back and has hardly lost even one round.

    Vitali didn't look horrible, but he is definitely not performing to the standard he once did. His reflexes, hand speed, and power have deteriorated noticeably in his last 4 fights.
    At this point, I'd give Haye a decent chance of beating him. I hope Vitali retires and leaves his brother to unify the belts.

    you can see he's slipping a little bit. There's a split second missing on his release that wasn't before.

    I don't think so Rico...

    I fighter winning can slip and still win rounds, especially since he is not necessarily facing great fighters.

    He looked bad against a ****ing C level opponent, of course he's slipping.

    people ***** about the klitschkos being boring. which is understandable. But they are the only thing keeping the HW divisions pulse beating right now. Enjoy it while it lasts.

    Coming back, cold, after four years, and thoroughly thrashing.......... Peter, Gomez, Johnson, Arreola, Sosnowski............hardly lost a round, and if he has, its been VERY few.....

    Where again are the signs of slipping?

    When he completely dominates each and every opponent in every fight, he is not losing much. Not yet, anyway.

    As Spadafora said, when he starts actually losing rounds, then we can say he may finally be slipping........... But thus far, what he may have lost is not noticable enough to make any difference, whatsoever, in the outcomes of his fights.

    hes DEFFINETLY not at his peak. and if hes not at his peak by definition that means hes slipping doesnt it? having said that i dont think hes slipping at the rate people seem to be making out.
