    Hard to believe some of the **** I read here. Virchis will not be KO'd easily as his punch resistance is just incredible. Also he has so much power, he can knock almost anyone out with one punch. He can never be counted out totally in a fight, although I would expect him to lose against to top tier of current heavies.

    He also went the full route with David Tua.

    I quite disagree with you,punisher!

    The slow African is tailor made for the huge Ukranian.
    Virchis looks horrible against mobile targets,but he can take a punch,and his firepower can end a fight any time.
    McCline almost took Peter out,and McCline cant hold a candle to Virchis in terms of firepower.
    I for my part would call Peter the underdog against Virchis.Styles make fights.
    Chris Byrd or Povetkin would probably run circles around Virchis and win wide point decisions or even score stoppage victories,but Sam Peter is neither fast nor has he ever faced a fighter with Virchis ' firepower so far.

    According to Vitaly Klitschko Virchis found himself lying in the ring dust.Vitaly stated in an interview that he had knocked out Virchis at the amateurs.

    Didn't Lewis KO Bowe in the amateurs? Doesn't mean to say Virchis can't KO Gomez, Maskaev or Peter. George Foreman was a plodding figher, KO power can cover up lack of finesse.

    Wrong again, Peter has faced Wlad and never went down or knocked out, unlike most of Wlads recent victims. Peter has fluke match against Mccline who he wasnt prepared for, and everyone wants to question his talent. Mccline gave alot of fighters a tough time in the ring and has knocked down good oppenents, he is a good fighter who cant finish out fights well.

    You like to harp on Wlad's weak chin, but I don't remember McCline knocking Wlad down, much less knock him down 3 times. Plus the McCline that lost to Wlad was much closer to being in him prime than the one Peter got knocked down by 3 times.

    Maybe you should worry more about your boys chin than Wlad's.

    Wlad has been down 11 times and has been knocked out 3 times, compared to Peter who has only been down 3 times and has never been knocked out. Wlad has been knocked down by Puritty, pannell, Williamson, Brewster, Peter, and Sanders. Peter was only knocked down by Mccline, which could of very well been a fluke.


    Nice try, you failed badly at trying to even compare Wlads chin to Peters. When Wlad fought Peter he was floored 3 times, Peter was never on the canvas in the there fight.

    Peter doesn't have great boxing skills by any means, but I assure you they are superior to Vladimir's. Would he beat Virchis? Maybe, but I would bet on Virchis.

    TKO= Technical Knockout, so yes it is a form of a knockout.:deal When a boxer is stopped in a fight by a ref that almost always means the ref stopped the fight because the fighter is in danger of either getting seriously hurt or in fact badly knocked out.

    It's not a KO, end of. Wlad has never been KO'd proper, that is a fact.

    Its a form of a knockout, thats a fact. Wlad has been stopped 3 times because he was getting beat up, and the ref didnt want to see him get seriously hurt.
