Will Vitali return to previous form?

[j0hn0]

of the comebacking hw's, a grand total of zero have achieved previous form (a ko against a nobody doesnt prove anything for tua)...of all of them, i would guess Vitali has the best chance of making noise, but can he really make it back to where he was despite 2 more years to become brittle? i certainly hope so, his mean streak made him fun to watch...lennox was too boring coz he didnt have that sometimes.

hard to say. we will just have to wait and see. I hope so also. However, he has had back surgery, shoulder surgery, and knee surgery. if he loses to the bum Mcline it will be a damn shame. i think he will starch Mcline however. i also think he will ko Peter. so i guess im saying i believe he will make it.

i hate to think itd be this short (the comeback) but id feel pretty happy as a vitali fan if he finished his career off with a ko against peter. i wanna see that fake get revealed for what he is. brutally.

I think he will easily be as good since his surgeries his knees and back are better than ever,and has had time off to heal. expect a determined and more vicious Vitaly than before and of course he's always in tip top shape.

vitali was a good fighter and the brother with a better chin, I dont think he will beat peter at this stage in his career

[don owens]

im pulling for him. i really want him to knock out the FAKE Peter also.

I read that vitali got knocked out in sparring by one partener and knocked down by another while training for his fight with rahmen in 05

doubt that. vitali has never so much as been knocked down. if he ever did in training, im sure it woulda been coz of injury.

wow1 great info...sparring the man has never even suffered a real knockdown in his career, so leave sparring out of it.....and that was likely because of his bad knee.

[box03]

yeah i was suprised to read that also, i doubt he was knocked out knocked down maybe though

[j0hn0]

Vitali's style didn't revolve around alot of movement, and his injury has been well rested, so I'm guessing he'll get back to something like his best. He'll probably look a bit rusty against McCline for sure, but I expect him to knock him out in the early-mid rounds. I'd favor him over any other heavy besides his brother (who he will never fight).

that long kick boxing style of his is what prolly caused it in the first place tho... (the knee injury)

if he doesnt dispatch mccline rather easily id be concerned. mccline looked terrible at last glance. if he does end up whooping jameel easily, id expect peter/vit to look something like kirk/vit.

vitali should fight the atomic bull sparring does matter McCall has never been even knocked down in the gym or the ring he sparred with tyson and had his gloves down while fighting lewis in 97 and never even came close to puttin him on his ass
