    Sosnowski will be game, and he will be stopped.

    I'm just hoping it will be an entertaining fight. I appreciate a boxing shut-out as much as anyone, but Lord knows either Klitschko is needing a more exciting fight at the moment, even if that excitement is one-sided.

    I'm half tempted to have a small bet (11/2) on Klitschko winning on points.

    Sooner or later that body is going to give out on him.... I think he's well aware of that and is playing it pretty safe with his fighting style.

    I just want someone to go down swinging - in the past few years most of their opponents simply haven't turned up to win. Chagaev was poor, Chambers was poor, Iggy was disgraceful, Johnson was pathetic etc etc.

    Vitali's legacy will never get better until he fights a Povetkin, Haye, Wlad, or Valuev.

    How does everyone think his legacy will stand, if he loses this fight?

    I know he is old, and this is about as easy a fight as one could take. Taking this easy route of challengers is a double edged sword. If he loses this fight, he reign starts to become not much better than the second Foreman reign. A loss here, has the potential to really hurt Vitali's legacy, imo. Not that i think it will happen (though i have never even seen Sosnowski)

    The fact that Valuev and Haye won't fight Vitali and backed out of fights with him at close to 39 years of age should tell you something.

    IMO, these would be easy fights for Vitali. Povektin it seems keeps delaying his mandatory shot with Wlad. You won't see the brothers fight unless its a exhibition match with kid gloves.

    you are right but in all fairness he tried, King the weasel is stinking up what ever he touches again. I would love to see Valuev - Vitali-, Haye does not want Vitali, he may opt for Vlad if the money is right but he is taking the road of least resistance in fighting Ruiz and avoiding the K's. Povetkin has put the brakes on and is also picking his spots.....

    Valuev should fight Vitali for 2 million. I am curious to see how Vitali handles the size difference, something that is usually in his favor

    Vitali's lean back style, hands low, below average technique would not work against taller fighters. That's why lennox tore the **** out of Vitali's eye, as vitali attempted to lean back from a right hand. Valuev probably is not good enough to capitalize on this, but Wlad is. Wlad would smoke vitali.

    Sosnowski is not a stylist.......... An in-shape Klit will TKO A.S. by round 7 or 8.... V.K. is a beast.........
