Sam Peters next fight is mandatory against former titleholder Vitali Klitschko. Its 4 years since the older Klitschkos last fight. Due to several major injuries he's been inactive, but is now ready for a comeback.
Intriguing fight. Who wins?
Does anyone know who is training Vitali for this fight? Is it still Szdunek or is Steward training him. My opinion is this. Want to start by saying I am a big fan of Vitali. I would have more confidence in Vitali if he fought someone prior to this fight against Peter. Coming out of 3 and a half years retirement to fight one of the more improving and active heavyweights in the division will not be an easy task. I do not even know if Vitali will make it past training camp. However if he does and this fight takes place. I would not be surprised if Peter wins due to stoppage from injury. I do not expect Peter to punish Vitali but it would not surprise me if Vitali loses due to injury to his shoulder, back or knees while fighting.
If (and that's a big if) Vitali makes it to the actual fight, he'll mop the floor with Peter. And since Peter/Wlad will not happen for as long as Don King is involved, it's the best fight in HW.
sad but true. :(

Vitali is a reall fighter he will keep coming at Peter even if he gets hit he wont run from him. He seems really serious about this and i hope he makes it through camp without any problems because this will be a great fight. I think this fight will end up like Vitali-Sanders but Peter will go down.
nice av avatar! Vitali would kill Sam, maby brake rabbit boys neck.

Fuck. Dont wanna see it. And it is does happen, I hope Vitali loses. I thought the whole point was to unify the belts. If Vitali wins, this might hold back unification back years because him and Wladimir will never fight.
You are 100% correct.
Wladimir said it himself, he will never fight his brother. Who would? lol
If this fight does happen, we all need Peter's to win.
We need a Samuel Vs Wladimir undisputed unification fight.
.....If Vitali were 100% healthy and he was not as inactive as he's been then I would be completly certain that he would destroy Peter. As it is I have my doubts. How can big Vit come back after so long and be effective immediately? Granted he stays in great shape, but will he be sharp and dominant like before? If he is somewhat sharp and still on his game he will crush Peter and leave him in a heap on the canvas.
I will go for Vitali for UD but this fight will not happen. Vitali will get hurt again in training and the fight will be cancel.
He absolutely looked like he meant business.
Very hard to predict. Vitali of 2003 stops Peter late. But who knows who this new Vitali is? Very hard to come off of a really long layoff into a fight with a guy as strong as Peter. I'd probably favor Vitali if he seems like he's in really good shape and in his old form. But who knows where Vitali's head's at and how serious a training camp he'll be able to have, being scared of injuries...
Hard to predict, but until I see different I have to go with Vitali.
He probably will be in shape, but can he dust off the rust?
BTW he looked a little puffy to me.
