    250 pound, 6 foot 7.5 inch man controlling his opponent, the distance, landing like this, as late as the tenth round........

    Some are looking for something that is just not there......I certianly don't see hardly any slipping at all...........

    Get off Vitalis ballsack for just one second and actually watch the fight, its quite obvious Vitali is nowhere near his best, infact he isn't even at the level he was when he beat Sam Peter fathertime is catching up with him, if you can't see that you don't watch much boxing or you are blinded by the Klit-love.

    Dude, he's ****ing 40 years old. Father time demands that he's slipping by this point.

    I'm sure he's slipping, but damn, I wouldn't want to get hit flush with the overhand right that destroyed Sosnowski. Just imagine what that punch would do to Haye's face.

    He could be slipping a bit, and if he keeps fighting on he eventually will (simply because of his age), but I don't see much at all right now.

    I mean, come on guys, he completely controlled his opponent, and KO'd him at the end. I don't see how he could have been any more dominant than he was. He controlled all aspects of the fight.

    Sure, he could have KO'd Sosnowski earlier, but is that really more dominant? It's not Vitali's style to go for the early KO...and controlling someone completely over 10rds is often times more impressive than a 2nd round KO (especially with the style Vitali fights), imo.

    Bottom line, if Vitali REALLY wanted to KO Sosnowski early, he could have done so. He chose not to go that route, and that's fine with me.

    this point can not be overstated it is the giant elephant in the room that evryone pretends is not their, if the lits were black americans they would be considered 2 of the ten greatest heavyweights of all time by everyone, that is undeniable

    Vitali just has a relaxed style like George Foreman had

    Sos is no world beater, but if Vitali was slipping as much as some think, he would have been taking more punishment from the very game Pole

    Don't be silly fellas, Sosnowski is a C list fighter. Vitali looked awful, to put it mildly.

    There's not many c.h.i.n.k.s in Vitali's armour, so you gotta scratch at something. Let's go with the thought of him slipping, despite the fact that he's 40 years old.

    (by the way, is it just me, or am I not aloud to type the word c.h.i.n.k.s properly?)

    Damn you blind? The Vitali that fought Lewis would have beat down Sosnowski in 3 rounds. Vitali is getting old, he is even more slow and robotic than usual. Sorry if he is your hero and all but he is now spent.

    Watch this, then watch Vitali vs Lewis, Vitali vs Hide, or even Vitali vs Williams. You cannot say he is not showing his age.

    Vitali was **** the other night. Lets not mess around here.

    He has declined in speed and output for certain.
