I have had the feeling that Peter is always one punch away from getting knocked out. It has been a long time coming.
If Vitali is anywhere near the fighter that gave Lennox a very good fight he will DESTROY Peter. Wlad is probably the better allround boxer of the two, but Vitali is a much better fighter, and won't be concerned with taking Peter's punches. Don't forget that Sammy Boy is actually slower than a statue - and doesn't really have that many good wins to his name. He was also decked three times by McCline, who has less power than the likes of Danny Williams.
I´m honoured to make the list :good I was kind of leaning towards Peter in this fight because of Vitali´s inactivity and constant injuries, but after seeing the video of the obese Peter training, that looked more like a pregnant woman´s workout than anything else, I´m gonna have to pick Vitali to come out on top in this fight. :happy
Peter will be gettn peppered with jabs and knocked out with an uppercut, left hook, or right straight. Peter has bad defence Vit has good defence. Also Vit does not run in he counterpunchs. Peters only chance is that Vit breaks both his arms.
Peter will be feasting on his ''5'' triple cheeseburgers from the floor once this fight is over... and he will officially be recognized as Edison Miranda, limited and way overhyped...
Could you please take off that NWS stuff from your avatar. Damn dude people browse this forum from work.
Are people giving Vitali credit for taking this fight with no tuneup.. he´s got a lot of bollocks in my book.
I'll be ready for that and honestly..better man win! ps. I'm no Peter hater at all but Klitchkos are my better favourites
I like Peter. I am not a Peter hater. My issues with Peter are his conditioning and this nonsense that his power is off the charts. No evidence whatsoever suggests he is heavy handed at an elite level. But I do like Peter. I think there are probably about 5 heavies in the history of the sport who could have taken the damage that he received from Wlad for 12 rounds and not go down. I also like Peter because he showed serious moxie in the McCline fight by coming back and winning clearly though he got seriously rocked more than once. I also respect Peter for getting Maskaev out of there before he ended up in Lederman's lap like Hasbeen. I just don't like his conditioning and the constant bark of his overrated power. I will be surprised if he beats Vitali. Period. But if he does, regardless of whatever kind of condition Vitali comes in at, I will bow down to Peter and give him his props. And if he does beat Vitali, I don't want to hear anything about another fight with Wlad until Peter leverages his King relationship into a unification fight with Valuev/Chagaev. Get that done, then take on the man.
