    I'd love to see a quote from someone.

    I've seen prime, top of his game, peak and other colorful descriptions for the current version of Vitaly (before the Chisora fight). I think its a big reason he gets criticized so strongly.

          Its not that anyone said he was prime. But no one played on his age before the bout. This was meant to be routine. He was meant to kill Chisora - a guy with 15 fights. Now the spin cycle starts working and all the focus is on how old he is and how many injuries he has had etc etc.

            I expected him to win, and that was it.

            As far as Im concerned, when you start hitting the 37's and 38's any night can turn you into old news.

            Martinez is next in line for this, imo.

            I didn't expect a knockout .. maybe some did.

              The vast majority? who is that? are you referring to a poll that someone did on here? People on here make polls like "does floyd look good with this louis vuitton bag?". Thats your source materiel? give me a break

              When you say "the vast majority" what you mean is all the people who are ignorant as to how styles make fights. you listen to the media too much, learn to use your own eyes & ears

              Once again i ask you, did you expect Vitali to come out firing bombs from bell to bell because of the slapping incident? Klitschko would've been foolish to do that, only fools would expect him to

              Also, I speak for myself, I certainly expected it to go 12 rounds. The guys I watched the fight with, who are familiar with Vitali, all expected him to jab his way to a decision and mix in an occasional right hand or uppercut.

                Now its "poor Vitali, cut the ol man some slack".
                Its no surprise,the klithuggers always twist things and make excuses

                  I've had more than a few posters say "you can't say Lewis was past prime. Look at Vitaly, he's older than Lewis was than and at the top of his game", and other such things. Is that not tantamount to calling Vitaly prime?

                    How many people are we talking here?

                    3? 4? 10?

                    I doubt even 10 people think that Vitali is prime right now.

                      I haven't kept count of all the moronic crap I hear on here, but I know its been more than a few. And only an idiot would think Vitaly is prime right now or even has been for a few years. Rest assured though, there are plenty of them out there.
