Will Vitali get KO'd or at least....

NO. Never happening. Lewis landed huge shots on him that would have stopped anyone else, Vitali took them like a mother****er. I remember in particular one uppercut that I was shocked that he wasnt KOed.

If Lewis can throw his whole arsenal at him and not knock him out, no one else is going to do it.

 

If he stays around long enough than yes....Nobody today could knock him though...

 

i doubt hell get koed.

he might get knocked down because of his awkward style leaving him off balance.

hes probably going to retire pretty soon anyway, so we wont have to wait too long to answer this question.

 

he will go out ontop

 

No.

 

haye has the only shot.... maybe povetikin..... sad division

 

Which 1970s fighter's got enough juice to KD Dr. Iron Fist?

 

Foreman maybe.. Duane bobick, j/k

little 5'11 Frazier would lay a glove on his face period

 

I don't think so, I think he can take great shots from anyone in the HW division. The only way I see it happening if is Vitali's body breaks down in a fight and he gets KD'd, like via a torn ACl or something.

 

Knocked down, maybe!

Knocked out? Unlikely.

He just hasn't shown any major vulnerability in regards to his chin.
He might lose a decision, but I can't see him on the receiving end of a K.O.

Who's this weeks "Klischko Killer" that will "clean out the division"?

Peter? Nope
Lefty Gomez? Nope
Chambers?? 6'1" and 0 power!??!
Arreola? Doubtful!
Too bad for Vitali that he won't be tested, that will hurt his long term status.

He needs to K.O. Valuev, Dimitrenko & Chambers and retire (unless someone comes up)

 

Lewis had him staggering like a drunk at the start of the 2nd round. And Vitali's legs stiffened from a JAB in the same round. The punch that cut him made his legs give way as well. Left and rights staggered him in the 5th. And quite a few punches had him going in the 6th.

His chin isn't iron by any means, but he's hard to properly reach/time and he clinches very well when hurt, can't see any of the current HW's KOing him.

 

Foreman maybe would have a shot, but no one else

 

Vitali has a great defense and chin of iron. He has an awesome offense that is very tricky to his opponents. When an opponent gets into the right with him they find that out very quickly.

 

The big answer is time, any fighter can get old over night. If Vitali stays around long enough eventually he will probably get KO-ed (or at the very least as some other posters have said put on the canvas). If he simply fights another couple fights against who's out there now I personally don't see it happening though. IMO he'd like to get Valuev in the ring, unify the titles so only himself and Wlad are champions and then retire and let Wlad have time to be undisputed champion while he's still relatively young.

 

It would take someone coming up being quick enough to catch him though, even as he gets older.
