do you think for one minute even a 44 year old Vitali would go 9 rounds with Eric Molina? I don't see Wilder being able to do much to Vitali.
Right. Vitali is in a very good shape now, but not in 'fighting' shape. He's a mayor of 3-million city now, he just has no time for training camps and fights.
The current HW era is so weak that a 44 year old Vitali would probably beat everyone except Tyson Fury and Wlad Klitschko.
Impossible to say. The only thing that matters is how much Vitali has left. If he's as good as he was in his last fight i'd say that's enough. If he's slipped only a little it gets very competitive. If he slips a lot, he loses. So it's entirely about the one thing we can't know.
If someone beats Wlad to death and say "if he dies, he dies" then Vitali would be back for the name of his brother and his family. That's the only scenario Vitali would come back.
Molina had Wilder on ***** street, and took some rounds off of him.. Let that sink in for a moment. Vitali with a good 6 week training camp beats Wilder easily.
