    Well, VK sure looked good in that comeback vs Sam Peter....there was something almost Monzonish about the way that he was able to so effortlessly hit Peter...his sense of distance,...his coolness about the whole thing....he did look improved to me.

    That vitali was fighting a 6 round fighter in a 12 round world title fight in his comeback says volumes for why he was able to beat peter.

    I think the older Vitali still poses a threat to virtually every heavyweight, and for that reason alone I'd say no, but it's feasible.

    He was incredible at his age and beat some pretty good fighters, no greats

    But his best was Lewis to Danny Williams he just seemed to have it

    You're more optimistic than I am.. I'm thinking six WEEKS is probably the more likely time frame.. Nevertheless we all have to do our part and try to bring the truth to light.

    His argument today was the Lewis hadn't shown any signs of deterioration by the Vitali fight, while "Vitali" improved years later.. See where he was going with this ?

    ALWAYS an agenda. I saw the comments on Ali :rofl


    I just adored his comments on Lewis not rematching 3 "tough" fights given the ridiculously deep excuse making we have seen on the Holmes front :good

    He once solemnly stated that Lewis was more marked up after their fight than Vitali!
    I posted post fight photos of them both in the ring immediately after ,but got no reply!
    Plus he contends Lewis caused Vitali's injury with a foul.
    It must f*ck him up when it's two white guys boxing,who does he root for then , a draw?
