Solis has the elite skills to put up a great fight if he has good durability and chin. You don't become a 3-time World Champion and an Olympic Champion with very good boxing skills.
I don't know how tall Solis is really but, I do know how heavy he's come into his fights. No way should he be fighting at 260 to 265 pounds.. That's just too much for him... Solis needs to settle around 245 to 250 pounds and get adjusted there if he expects to compete and contend on the "A" class level.... Otherwise, I see Solis getting harpooned just as quickly as he steps up and takes on "Live" bodies in the ring.... MR.BILL
Solis not only lacks the disipline to get himself in at least a fairly lean, fighting condition ( poor conditioning and all that taxing body fat will really be a hinderance as Vitali wears on him, round after round), he also lacks power with which to hurt Vitali, much less, knock him out. Solis will be easy to hit. Vitali will either win every round, or KO Solis.
I give a **** what many detractors think or say..... WORD! I have Vitali Klitschko in at # 7 on my ATG list of heavyweight champions....... NOW!! That ranking is not based on as to who he has fought on his good resume, but rather his physical fitness, attitude, skill, power, chin and ring presence... I truly believe that 90+ % of all former ex-heavyweight champions would either **** a brick or be nervous as hell if they saw Vitali Klit in the opposite corner by way of a time machine...... The dude can take over a stage with a power that is rarely seen these days / nights...... WORD!! MR.BILL
I recall Lewis once saying about Vitali: You don't realize just how big he is til you get in the ring with him.
Tell ya what, Solis may lack the dedication as he is overweight but no one can take his boxing skills, power, accuracy, amateur accomplishments and chin away from him and that may be enough to nail Vitaly. Yes, I said that! :good
And who do you think that Solis is to be easy to hit? My brother, the man is 3 times World Amateur Champion, 3 times Cuban National Champ and Olympic Champ. How can someone that is " easy to hit " accomplish all those great deeds??? :think Think again...
:good Solis is a vey skilled boxer, he had to work on his weight and fitness. A fight against Solis is much better than a fight against Valuev.
Oh i mentioned Romanchuk along with others but he apparently has never seen those fights so those losses don't exist. That plus every instance of a cuban losing is due to "soviet sabotage" & judging conspiracies. He has the rational all worked out.
