Is Vitali Klitschko the next to join the Pavlik, Margarito, Delahoya list of upsets?

Nahh, Gomez doesn't have the tools or the ring savvy to pull off an upset of that magnitude. I disagree. I think he is one of a few athletes to have the tools to pull off the upset. He has skills.

I doubt it. He's probably pissed about havin to pass the chance to KO Haye back to Wlad. I don't think Gomez will last too long.

All that's required again is a slightly bad/off night for Vitali and for Gomez to be performing at his best. Gomez is an underrated fighter. I am not sure Hopkins Pavlik was an Upset.. at least I don't view it as one..

I don't think he'll lose against Gomez but anything's possible, upsets are a part of boxing.

It may happen, but it's very unlikely, Gomez would have to be on his special night and be lucky to catch Vitali on a bad one or suffering an injury during the bout. I do agree that Gomez is underrated though.

vitally is old as fukk and a half decent HW would do to him what mosley did to margo lol,,,list some names of these half descent heavyweights. cant wait to hear your answer. sam peter maybe? :oh:

He has a chance, you can't count him out. But i think Vitali is just too good for him.

Everything can happen in boxing, but I doubt....

Unlike Pavlik and Marg, Vitali is experienced against all kinds of styles, and he's prepared for everything, he's seen it all. Vitali rarely loses a round, while Pavlik and Marg have the 'take 2 hit 1' mentality, at least against top competition. I wasn't making a head-to-head comparison. Margarito and Pavlik are different fighter, Yes. Simply a observation that just when nobody gives a very good fighter (for whatever reason) who is u underdog a chance.....he scores the upset. Hopkins > pacquiao > Mosley And Vitali hasn't seen anything like Gomez. Gomez is a fast, slick cruiserweight turned heavyweight. If Gomez is anything like he was 3 years ago when he put on a boxing exhibition on HBO aganst Sinan Samil Sam....Vitali better be worried unstead of overlooking this guy.

I get the feeling by reading the press reports, that Vitali seems like he's looking past Gomez to a possible unification bout with Valuev.... Also, Paul, have you heard anything about Gomez's training camp? Not a lot, just that he was sparring Andrei Arlovski.

Vitali despite possessing a solid chin knows the meaning of defense. He generally smacks his opponents with 3-4 shots before taking one and rarely loses a round. Totally different mindset. He's closer to PBF then either Margarito or Pavlik.

I'm probably not going to pick JCG to beat Vitali, but I wouldn't turn down big odds on him either. He is a very live underdog.

I believe it can happen, yes.
