In your estimation, is Vitali fighting just another Euro Bum?

    The fight is only a couple of weeks away. Theres been lots of talk the Sosnowski is a bum, with people questioning why Team VK picked this opponent & that it will be just another EZ Klitschko payday.

    So vote. Is The Dragon a bum...or a credible opponent???

    :think

    I would say he is a bum in terms of the skills and the risk he brings to vitali. however i feel that he doesn't deserve to be called a bum because he will come to fight and he will be in very good shape which is better then johnson and arreola respectively. So i didn't vote because i don't think he deserves to be called an out and out bum but i also doubt he has the ability to make it difficult for vitali :)

    Bum. And it has nothing to do with him being Euro. There are plenty of Polish fighters I like, but Sosnowski just plain stinks. He's fought six credible opponents in his career:

    - Vidoz was shot to hell by the time Sosnowski got to him, and was never that good to begin with.

    - He probably deserved the win vs. Pianeta, but Pianeta clearly wasn't there to fight, and he only managed to come out with a draw.

    - Knocked out Danny Williams, who is pretty close to being shot, although I guess we'll find out how shot this weekend.

    - Got his ass kicked by Zuri Lawrence. Lawrence has NEVER knocked anyone out in his career, yet Lawrence had Sosnowski practically out on his feet at one point. Same guy who was dominated by Calvin Brock, Dominick Guinn and Jason Estrada.

    - Herelius is a cruiserweight who moved up, and frankly, he's still pretty unproven as well.

    - Can't speak too well to the Tauasa fight, but he only got an MD against a journeyman cruiserweight

    Just because Sosnowski is hopeless and helpless matched against Klitschko doesn't mean he's a bum. He's a good European level HW. Even the best current world-level HWs are going to be mismatched against the Klitschkos right now, until age and general wear and tear catch up with them, or they pack it in, whichever comes first.

    I was going to vote on the second option, but I don't really believe this part:
    "He may even surprise alot of people come fightnight."

    We would need a time machine to offer them any competition. Honestly, the heavyweight division is dead to me.

    He's not a good Euro level HW though. He's a so-so Euro level HW. I'd pick guys like Derek Chisora and Martin Rogan to kick his ass fairly handily. He's about a step down from someone like prime Krasniqi or Sam even.

    Now that he's finished with the Americobums (Taco and **** Pants), he's fighting the Eurobum that didn't "back out".
