    Don't you think Vitali should lose due to the record the 2 brothers have?? ( it seems whover one Klit beats, the other lose to. and visa versa ) :hey

    I think Hagler was past his prime. He'd been slowly declining in recent time. He looked considerably slower and easier to hit in fights such as the Roldan and Mugabi fight then he had in the early 80s when he was on top of his gamge.

    Yes it will be a great come-back and a great win. Vitali's situation is overlooked here and I don't understand why. The man is coming off a 4 year lay-off and was almost retired with career threatening injuries in his back and legs and he's fighting the #2 Heavyweight out there right now, this is no joke what he's in for.

    If you know Vitali's style he's nothing like Wladimir, he tends to use his back a lot and move in there as he backs off and fires back, both of which require a healthy back and legs, something Vitali almost RETIRED from and he's fighting an aggressive big puncher in Samuel who will keep coming forward. If Vitali's power doesn't stun/hurt Peter as early as round 1(Yes he will start landing some of those bombs in the very first) then I just can't see him winning this one. Vitali already had some stamina issues when he was pressured in the ring, watch the Lewis fight as he got extremely tired, watch the Williams fight he got extremely tired there too and the Sanders fight, expect it to only be FAR worse after 4 years off. The difference here is that Peter is younger than those guys and has proven stamina already, he carries his aggression and power all the way to the 12th.

    Looks great in the gym, if he is only 50% he will knock Peter out.

    I think Vitlai's stamina will be better than Peter's if the fight goes into the later rounds. Peter doesn't score many mid to late round TKO's, because he's tired.

    Don't confuse heavy breathing with being tired. Heavy breathing is a technique to suck in oxygen. Being tired means you don't throw punches, and Vitlai has never punched himself out or lost for stamina related reasons.

    The key for Vitlai in this fight is to get his jab going, than land hooks on the outside, or uppercuts on the inside, as these punches have rocked Peter before in the past.

    Anytime a professional is out for a year in their sport its a good comeback. Anytime a professional is out for two years thats a great comeback. Anytime a professional is out for more than three years thats pretty damn amazing. Im not just talking about boxing but any sport considering its not that easy to even get into professional ranks to begin with.

    Peter has KOed only 1 Top 25 Heavyweight in his career. His power is way overrated.
