It looks like the fight between Calvin Brock and Vitali Klitchko is all but signed. What is you prediction for the fight? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that while I respect Vitali, I think he is vulnerable to be beaten. Calvin Brock by decision.
You can't count your best losses as wins. This is Calvin's chance to prove himself. If he fails, he was supposed to. He's still got enough in him to comeback. If he wins, he's a champ in some form or fashion.
wins or losses, vitali isnt easy to beat. IMO brock doesnt have enough to beat VK.
well, vitali was winning on the scorecards against byrd and lewis. and he was beating them both around the ring. vitali has looked good in losing efforts against top 10 HWs. brock has looked good in winning efforts against mediocre HWs. u decide whos the better fighter.

You could say the same thing about Vitali.

brock needs one more good fight to really prove he has what it takes to be the champ. its one thing to be good against good competition its another thing to be good against terrible competition.

Guess you'll just have to find out on Sept 24th. Last time I checked, Brock hasn't been knocked out either. Or course he hasn't quit on his stool either. Nor has he had a fight stopped because his face was a bloody mess. Nor does he have one or two losses on his record. I have mad respect for Vitali and I'm actually a fan of his. You can't compare what has happened in that past to what will happen then. Vitali has been on the shelf for a year. Calvin is young and hungry and has been underestimated his whole career. Right now, Vitali is the biggest test in the heavyweight division. Only one way to find out if Calvin can pass the test.

Obviously we disagree, that's cool. in your opinion who out there has the best shot at taking Vitali? you gotta see somebody who could give him trouble
toney could beat vitali (not easily though). peter could hurt vitali, but the odds of him landing flush on vitali is very slim. vitali's got good upper body movement and he can take a punch.
im not sensing any more hostility from u. can we keep this a civilized and cool-headed conversation?
Doesn't train? he was down to 243 and was pretty cut the other night, but im sure you probably haven't even seen him fight have you? Vitali throws his jab from his hip, which means his jaw is wide open, if he did that against peter that's all she wrote
yeah, he jabs from the hip... and lands on ur jaw like a piston whenever ur close enough. peter doesnt have anything aside from power. he even said it himself he hardly trains. guys like that cant beat vitali klitschko.
but i dont udnerstand how u can take brock by UD. i mean hes gona have to reach quite a distance up to land a punch. in addition, VK never been on the canvas, and like 80% of his KO's r within 3 rounds.
the only way VItali IMO will ever lose is by TKO, n even that i highly doubt it.
VK TKO 4
Jack hammer jab? hahahahah, so now he is Larry holmes, wonderful just great. he did that to Danny Williams dude. enough power to beat vk? guess you never heard of a guy who is 24-0 with 21ko's and can punch like a fucking mule can kick, tht would be the future champ Sam Peter.
stop riding peters dick and come back to reality. peter doesnt train for shit and if he cant (and wont) get past somebody with a jab, he'll get hammered into the ground. peter's green and green doesnt beat a KO artist like VK.

..Sam Peter hasn't even proved he can beat a top ten heavy much less "THE MAN" in the division. When Peter steps up IMO he will be exposed. They are milking this guy against weak comp and doing a great PR job on him and the next thing you know he is gonna get a shot he doesn't deserve and get his ass kicked.
Get off his dick dude, Vitali doesn't have half the power peter does as far as one punch is concerned, what is Vitali all of a sudden Larry fuckin Holmes? what is he gonna make 25 title defenses and run roughshot over the division for the next 10 years? you are kidding yourself! he isn't shit compared to the heavyweight champs of old and he ain't shit now!
...He's better than anybody out there RIGHT NOW and he wears out guys like Peter by pounding them until they collapse. See Sanders and Williams for reference points. Peter doesn't have nearly the skill of either one of them. Even if Peter lands one of those sloppy assed swing and duck jobs, what the hell makes you think Vitali couldn't take it? So far he has taken huge shots from big punchers and has never ever been dropped. Now all of a sudden he gets KO'd in his next fight? Shut the fuck up with your nonsense logic. Have you been drinking tonight Dan? Your usually more logical than this. Is your kid brother posting in your name when you leave the room??

HWs of old: of course not.
HWs of now: of course he is.
his height, reach, jab, and power is enough to beat anybody in the divison. how the hell can u swarm a guy whos jab is like a jackhammer in ur face. there is no HW in the division whos chin is THAT strong and carries enough power to beat VK.
If he fights Sam Peter he will join his brother in getting devastatingly knocked out, he's finished.
...Peter is so fuckin sloppy he would get brain damage if he fought Vitali. He looks too stupid to know when he's hurt too. Vit would probably bludgeon him to death for like 8 or 9 rounds until he couldn't stand anymore. Dude would never recover from that.
Peter,Rahman,Brewster, mesi if he gets cleared, brock will beat him, The Ring GAVE him the title, he didn't take it from the champ, it was given to him. he' gonna get fucked up in his next fight you watch
peter: unproven, how the hell do u know how good he is?
brock: same thing as peter.
rahman: what makes him so good? he lost to tua, ruiz, maskaev, lewis, and holyfield. hes a disgrace.
mesi: he robbed barrett, and could hardly squeez by with a decision against jirov (who lost to michael moorer, for fuck's sake).
brewster: his claim to fame is he KOd WK (who beat him from pillar to post during the fight) and his 1st round TKO of regular punching bag andrew golota... give me a fucking break... brewster?!
get ur head out of ur ass long enough to really look at the HW division.

....Absolute horseshit!!! Not a heavy out there who would be favored in a fight with him and it would probably be 2-1 at the worst. Dude has never been dropped, and none of those chumps you mentioned will do it either.
Best in the division ha? bullshit, let him PROVE that fact! Vitali is highly overrated
alright, name somebody whos better than VK.
then explain how vitali has the ring magazine's HW title and nobody else does.
