    Prime Vitali does a number on AJ.

    You could tell how disappointed Vitali was in his brother after the fight, and how he thought if only I was still fighting then I could get revenge for my brother.

    No way would Vitali have let AJ off the hook in the 6th and 7th.

    Indeed, prime Vitali beats this version of AJ quite easily to be honest, just like he would have beaten the version of his younger brother in there too. He had that killer instinct as well as the chin to take Joshua's shots in the fifth.

    But admittedly Joshua does have room for improvement, let's see what his prime is like.

    Very well said, Vitali was a very supportive and caring older brother last night. He's a true gentlemen and a warrior.

    Vitali would have stopped him. AJ is vulnerable. It has been shown in his fight with Whyte and Wladimir.

    I think Vitali is better matched to AJ with a solid chin..

    Prime Vitali for me but really its a seasoned pro against a 19 fighter so....

    This is a very tough one.

    Maybe Vits would do better, maybe not, I will have to think about this one awile first.

    Prime Vitali of 2003/2004 knocks Joshua out in 6. That being said Lewis and Sanders of 2003 would KO Joshua too

    I think it was Sanders, and keep in mind Vitali at age 37, out of the game for over 4 years blasted Peter out with no warm up fights.

    Vitali likely stops AJ but could he do it at age 41? Hard to say, I lean toward yes.

    Peter isn't Vitali's best wins.
    Kirk Johnson, Corrie Sanders, Chris Arreola, Larry Donald and even Dereck Chisora or Gomez are better wins
    Peter is on a level with Herbie Hide and Danny Williams

    Have to disagree here old Vitali from 2008-2012 would lose vs AJ I think.
    Prime Vitali from 2003/2004 knocks him out
