Vitali makes Peter look like a midget

Vitali's whole body is glass.

 

You must understand that Wladimir's style played a major role and Peter had no answer for it, Wladimir was constantly holding in that fight and showed more experience right there. Vitali doesn't fight the same type of fight and even if he does, unlike Wladimir when he fought Peter, he's coming off a 4 year lay-off with serious injuries that need to be taken seriously.

 

Well, it never occurred to me that the older Klitschko would take strategy lessons from his younger brother. Maybe he does pull a Jawny on Sam Peter, but it seems unlikely.

Vitlay is a guy who likes to back right up into big shots. I see no reason why he wouldn't do it here. Remember how Lennox cut his brow. There is nothing saying Sammy can't do that if he sticks his jab in Vitlay's face.

 

Scar you make a good point I have discussed before, which is Peter has NO plan B in a fight. None. He just plods and throws punches. If he wants to beat Vitali he will have to have a Plan B and be able to adjust.

 

That's true as well but if he's able to handle Vitali's power and keeps the activity and pressure up then don't you think that MIGHT break down Vitali?

If this was an active Vitali from the time he fought Sanders or Williams then I will pick Vitali easily but his inactivity need to taken into consideration here, which includes serious injuries. You think his stamina will hold up as it did before?, if yes then he wins with no doubts but it's hard to imagine.

 

I never said Vitali will use Wlad's strategy against Peter he doesn't need to. Lennox is 6'5" with a good reach. Peter has neither the height or the reach.

 

Another good point but I don't see Peter being able to apply any pressure at all. The height and reach and lean back style will prevent it. Peter is not Mike Tyson he can't slip punches and his head movement is garbage. Peter *might* be able to lunge in and land a haymaker type punch that could change the course of the fight but I see him having a lot of problems coming in he will get hit with a stiff jab or that slapping left or right hook Klitschko throws. Klitschko's stamina will be an issue but he always has 3 different gameplans for a fight and he has not gassed like Wlad has.

 

Again, the head moves the body doesn't. Vitlay will not be able to keep Sam Peter out of his space. And when Sam does get in there he can easily throw his right hand to the chest or the stomach. Either would do the job. And when the fight enters the late rounds Vitlay will be gassed and ready to quit on his stool.

 

Peter is not Mike Tyson his head movement is non existant and he is not mobile or athletic enough to slip punches. You are bringing up stuff that will not even be an issue for Klitschko because Peter does not have that type of skill set. He is a flat footed plodder.

 

why all the talk about rahman as neither vitaly or peter has faced him? anyway rahman went to **** after the late 90's early 2000's, with all the weight gain and just lackluster performances (see rahman/tua fiasco). rahman was near elite level imo for a brief time but if you're talking about the raham of 06 which maskaev beat, than that's another story probably b- level at best.

The bottom line is that neither peter or vitaly's resume are great, but i'll take vitaly's anyday because he thouroughly beat b level comp whereas peter's has only beaten toney (b level) solidly, but has had dominant performances over b- guys like jeremy williams and maskaev (probably c level at the time of the fight he looked so bad). the other arguably b level guy peter beat, mccline, gave him a very tough fight and peter eeked out a close w despite hitting the canvas 3 x. factor in that peter struggled with toney and arguably lost the first time, i'd say his resume is clearly below vitaly's.

As far as tough losses against elite level, i'll take vitaly's war with lewis which ended up in a loss over peter's ugly haye maker to the back of the head bout with wlad anyday.

 

Omg, do you sleep in Sam-Peter-bedclothes too? You´re such a fanboy. Open your eyes and be objective. Yeah he dropped Wlad three times, two of them were illegal shots and he got outclassed even in these rounds, also he won them.

 

Lest we forget Klitschko the Elder's vaunted defensive abilities (which consist solely of jerking his head straight back) are as much reliant on reflexes and timing (surely eroded substantially with age & 4 years of ring rust) as on his height (which he doesn't use anyway, fighting in a fairly wide- stanced squat.)

 

Vitali also has a far better chin than his brother. He doesn´t need to hug like his brother.

 

Brittley also made Christina Tyrd look like a midget.

However, it was Quitali who was the mental midget at the end, unable to withstand the pressure of the light-punching Byrd and how he dominated round 9, so he faked a shoulder injury.

 

That was the only time Vitali was cut. Would be quite a risk if you base your strategy on that.
