First of all, I'd like to point out that Odlanier Solis has knocked out and outclassed David Haye in the amateurs. Its one thing to win a decision, but its another thing to KO someone. Solis KO'd Haye. Quite honestly, if Solis fought Haye today I'd call it a 50-50 fight. Solis is a big puncher, but has better technical skills than Haye and was a legendary amateur.
So I honestly think there is some reasoning behind ranking Solis as potentially the 3rd best Heavyweight in the World (obviously below both Klitschko brothers).
I think Vitali deserves a lot of credit for fighting an Olympic Gold Medalist who has looked great as a Pro.
Having said that, I was a bit unimpressed with Odlanier Solis' last fight against Ray Austin. Ray Austin (Wlad KO victim) was more than competitive with Solis and in fact the fight was about even when it was stopped in round 10 on a DQ.
So, based on the most recent result of Solis, as well as Klitschko's tough innate ability. I do favour Vitali on a late TKO or decision win.
