    as far as we know Vitali is not coming back for money, and he doesn't seem the type to be in a financial hole. He would not be fighting again if he felt he was struggling and greatly diminished. I thinkl he will have more than enough to batter the severely limited Peters. It should be interesting though as Vitali will not run and hug like his brother did against Peters.

    If Vitaly is 80% of what he was then he wins, anything less and Peter has a great chance. Looking forward to the fight!

    Just put some money on Klitschko inside the distance. 13/8 at SkyBet. I hope I'm wrong though!

    Vitaly if he's got anything left, which is really the only pertinent question imo.

    I'll go for the Doc in this one. I think he will come in well prepared for this fight. Vitali TKO-9

    Vitai UD.

    I think he'll be a little too rusty to push for a knockout and Peter's chin is a bit too malaigned in my opinion, yet I think his style is a really awkward one for Peter to suceed against.

    But I really think a Peter win would be a much bigger deal for the division. It sets up Wlad-Peter II with all the ingrediants you could ask for for a big build-up, more than any fight since Lewis-Tyson (thought not on that scale natch).

    If Vitali wins, odds are likely he won't fight Wlad and won't even stay active for long either. Leaving Peter vs someone for the vacant WBC and back to square once again.

    So yes, Vitali's my pick but I must confess I'm kinda rooting for Peter. The amount of crow pie needed in General if he wins will be absolutely phenomenal.

    I think Vitali finds that chin early.
