    Yeah I think so.

    He's turning 41 soon, dedicates most of his time towards politics, has a seriously war torn body with a history of major injuries, and frankly I think time has passed him by.

    I think a hard hitting pressure fighter with some speed (like Povetkin) can go out there and win a wide decision.

    I don't think so, he just could not keep Chisora at distance or bully him, chisora is a big strong guy and he was hungry for it. Most of all though, he had zero fear of him, Chisora ain't scared of ****, he was backing up Vitali most of the fight and made him uncomfortable in there.

    If you feed Vitali any opposition he beat in the past the outcome would still be the same.

    He's almost 41, has a war torn body. He should have one or two easy fights and retire.

    Yes he is ripe for the taking, at his fans know it.


    This is why everyone is so against Haye getting a shot at him. They would die a thousand deaths if Haye were to spark the old man. And they know it can happen.


    So they would rather play "boxing promter" and talk about what Haye doesn't deserve, rather than wanting to see what would be the most competitive fight a Klit has been in in years.

    Your tryin to sell people the idea that Haye will be exciting against a klitschko, and knock him out easily cause he's stiff and can't fight inside? After what happened against wlad? And THEY'RE the ones playing promoter??

    I actually think he knows Haye would beat him. He'd rather retire, let two bums fight for the vacant title, thus allowing Wlad complete unification.

    Yep. He even said himself that if Gsora had more speed he would have been in trouble. Let's hope he loses before he retires.

    Well it is a major point. I think Haye would beat Vitali,but does he deserve another title shot without beating any top ten fighters in the interval?

    Haye doesnt beat Vitali, he doesnt throw enough punches, he would just dodge a lot and look to land a big punch, which he might but he will also take a lot of punches, lose rounds on activity looking to knock vitali out while trying to stay up himself.
    I think vitali wins this with a few shaky moments.
    Besides him who else can beat vitali in the division that he could fight?

    There are probably only two guys that could beat him. Wladimir and Haye.

    Why did Chisora deserve it then?
