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

He's more of a bum than Arreola or Johnson, sorry to say. Either of those guys would kick Sosnowski's ass.

Sosnowski has a lot of heart and stays in good shape, but he has zero boxing skills.

 

It's disrespectful to call ANY fighter a bum.
He is a can for Vit though but a bum definately not.

 

the only hw contenders i would favour over sosnowski are:

chagaev
povetkin
adamek
thompson

all them are unavailable. not many prime legitimate heavies out there.

he is wholly deserving of a title shot

 

I guess Arreola and Johnson were the Ameri bums :yep

 

isnt he a mandatory? YOU CANT KNOCK A FIGHTER FOR TAKING ON HIS MANDATORY..:deal

 

I doubt it. He dropped out of a fight with Fraudley Harrison to take this. That is the sort of level he's at.

 

The last time he fought a great heavyweight and lost?

 

he's a bum but like some said already.. right now there's not one HW around that can beat the klits.. they can beat every HW out there right now.. they have talent plus the HW is down so that combination makes them unbeatable

:hat

 

I'd say the ONLY time. And thats not a knock on Vitaliy.

 

No, he's not even close to being Vitali's mandatory.

 

Exactly, even though he was up on the cards. So maybe SOS will come to fight because it seems like all (if not most) opponents were afraid to fight.

 

You know something we don't know? Your very confident that he will give Vitali a good fight. Are you just a very proud Polish fight fan. It is understandable, but the guy is a C level fighter. Yes, he took the fight due to fighting for the world title and his biggest payday. I be surprised if it went past four rounds. That is if Vitali carries him. It is a stay busy fight and it should have been a non title fight.

 

I selected the no option, not because i think Sosnowski is a credible opponent, but simply because i don't think he's much worse than a lot of todays top heavyweights (except the champions).

 

Three years ago I'd say he was "C" level but against Williams he looked like he means business. My money goes on Vitali but I believe Albert will come to fight. And needless to say he's not another fat slob big mouth Toney type.
