    Vitali ended up dropping the belt. I don't blame him , he looked terrible against Charr and would likely have been stopped against Stiverne.

    He knows that when he fights the Klitschkos he hurts his toes.

    Stiverne was/is a plodder after 2 or 3 rounds. He is tailor made for Vitali. Nothing Stiverne has showed in his entire career suggests he would beat Vitali Klitschko. But, I am responding to a guy who predicted boh Klitschko's would lose every fight for a decade.

    Here's the truth.

    Vitali was overdue his last service, had a faulty ram module and needed lubrication in his joints.

    Even the T800 needs some lovin'.

    Prime Vitali yeah , but he was done at that point and he knew it. He ducked both Haye and Stiverne to fight a no namer in a half empty stadium in Russia.

    There was massive money on the table for the Haye fight and RTL were backing it big time but Bonter pulled the plug so Vits could fight a bum.

    There was literally no reason to duck Haye who would talk **** in the months leading up to the fight then when the bell rings he would throw 8 punches a round, not engage, stink the joint out then make some ridiculous excuse when he loses.

    Wasn't Vitali and Haye supposed to fight before the Wlad/Haye fight?
    But i fell a part because Haye pulled out? And before that he also pulled out from a Wlad fight before that?

    He definitely pulled out of the Wladimir fight in 2010, Wladimir only fought once that year, because Haye messed him around. Haye promised him Wembely Stadium and then must have got cold feet.

    Prime Vitali would overwhelm Stiverne and Haye with punches and stop them.

    Boehnte promised at the press conference where Del Boy and Haye fought, that the Winner of a fight between those two would go on to fight Vitali. It was actually Frank Warrens idea, but Boehnte agreed to it..However they chose other wise after watching Haye destroy Chisora...

    Could be true as I imagine the Chisora fight offered more money and less risk.
