I think this is be a half decent fght but Vitali will break Danny down and stop him in about 7 or 8 rds. What are your feelings?

Williams will be flying across ring much like the guy in your avatar.

Vitali will start slow and careful but realize pretty fast that he's fighting a bum and knock out Williams before the 6th round ends.

I don't rate Vitali at all. The guy needed 50+ stiches after the Lewis fight and had to be helped into his stool but he is making a career of trying to convince people he retired Lewis. I don't think Williams is much either but he has more to his game that Klitchko does. I go with Williams either in the first two rounds if he comes out all guns blazing. I don't think he will though. He'll test Vitali's stamina and I think he'll win in the 7th.

took klit 8 to ko sanders. and all i know of williams is the tyson fight but i'd have to say he looked like a better challenger than sanders.

From Williams' three losses, he lost to Julius Francis and Samil Sam purely because he was too complacent. If he had the heart, he would have killed both. Against Michael Sprott, it was the most boring heavyweight fight I have ever seen (I do stay clear of Ruiz fights) but he won by a mile on points and the referee basically screwed him.

Sinan Samil Sam KOs Williams anytime and everywhere. Williams is a nobody who got lucky being at the right place at the right time.

...Sounds like Brit speak to me. Sam is the most telling. A slow guy with not much punching power who destroyed Williams. enough said!!!

Right then this is the thread i have been searching for. My pick still stands like it did 3 months ago and thats if Vitali hasn't beaten Danny in the first 6 rounds then i think Danny will win later on. Danny is a slow starter and builds and gains confidence slowly. He definatly has the skills to beat Vitali as Vitali is not a great champion at all. If Danny doesn't expose him and i REALLY hope he does then i think someone else will down the line. As for punching power i'd say this fight was pretty even, i can see Vitali's one-two giving Danny trouble in the early rounds but once you learn to avoid that what else does Vitali have? :p Some of you may think i'm been a little bias in hoping Danny will win because he is from the UK as am I but the fact of the matter is he has a chance and a chance in boxing is a big thing in my opinion.

Vitali is a great champion who has had outstanding career both in boxng and kickboxing.

Vitali outboxed everyone he fought, not merely outpunched.

It's not propaganda buddy. Everybody has seen most of VK's fights but probably only the Brit guys on here have seen most of Williams' too, so I would say they're the only ones in a position to make an educated assessment of this fight. Anyone who knows Williams well will tell you the same things that you're hearing on here. If he gets into this fight then he has definitely got the boxing talent to beat VK. I voted for VK within 6 by the way.

i can understand the bias comment but you have to understand that most of us thought he had untapped potential for years and just didn't have the heart and desire. The Tyson win definately brought it out hence why we are starting to believe in him a lot more.

As for the paper champion comment going around, Klitchko is the champion during the worst period of heavyweights ever. He hasn't beaten anyone of true class because there is nobody out there. Everyone is in the same boat there.

Think back to one year ago. At that time, he was getting ready to fight Kirk Johnson at MSG. I remember hearing many of the same arguments.

Now I donn't know if Emanual Steward really meant it when he said that this is a 50 - 50 fight, but I don't see Williams being able to get inside, and I think that Vitaly will be pretty defensive and will keep Williams away with his jab.

A come from behind win over an injured tyson is not enough to give this guy a shot at Vitaly.

I think the fight will get stopped somewhere between the 7th and 12th round. Winner Vitai. This match reminds me of Rahman vs. Meehan, where Meehan got a lucky opportunity. Seriously, if Tyson didn't fight Williams on one knee, we would have forgotten about Williams long ago.

Williams may not be more than an average hw, but he always comes in in shape and now he's got a huge boost of confidence ( this makes him dangerous). coming in in shape is the big thing, it'll give him chances to hang around. i think Vitali wins, but this is a dangerous fight for him. williams has nothing to lose, he's gonna leave it all on the canvas, i think we'll see a more competitive fight than anybody expects, no one us has ever seen a danny williams with confidence. if u;re in shape for a fight, one of the biggest boosts for a fighter is confidence, if Joppy had really thought he could beat taylor he would have kept trying... if u don't believe me, think of lamon Brewster, he's got nothing but determination and a great attitude

Don't know. He's been well known throughout Europe for years but never really fought anyone of interest to the US crowd until Tyson maybe? Him beating Tyson was a shock to the Brits as well. He's always been a bit of a mental ****-up which has lost him a lot of fights and is the main reason most people haven't really considered him for a world title, not because of a lack of ability.

i think williams has a hell of a chance, vitali is not that good a fighter, all he has is size. if danny can get inside that jab and work the body early he could win. klitchko has said how he retired lewis but i think lewis realised that if someone as ordinary as klitchko could give him a fight he was getting old.
