Vitali Klitschko v Bermane Stiverne - who would have won?

[KBRO]

I really do wonder what Vitali would look like after a more than 1 year lay off at the age of 41/42. Does add a bit of intrigue, and a shame that this fight didn't happen. Would have been a much better fight to end his career on than Diamond Boy.

Vitali could take 3 yrs off & come back without missing a single beat. His fighting style is foolproof no matter how much he ages.... he did it before & can easily do it again if he chooses.

except he came back and fought an immobile blob named peter. stiverne actually moves around a bit. also sam peter has no boxing skill so there was also that little detail.

Is there anyone who could have won rounds against Vitali?

Even his brother wouldn't be able to win rds against him... it's virtually IMPOSSIBLE to win rds on a fighter who's guaranteed to outland you in ANY fight he participates in.

only lewis.... which says a lot

Lewis split 4 rds with Vitali when Klitschko was cut & working with a severe handicap & was dominated in the rds he wasn't. So yes you can break even with VITALI if you're an ALLTIME top 5 HEAVYWEIGHT who's a super heavy when Vitali's line of vision is severely hampered.

It's the truth and you know it. Your little animated gif doesn't change reality.

Of course!

And situation in Ukraine, Vitali's injuries, Vitali's involvement and high ambitions in politics, 40+ age don't have anything with his retirement.

It's all because he was scary of the pinky little one...

Wladimir could have won 4 or 5.

Sam Peter had the belt & similar power... what makes you think for a second Stiverne is going to be any different.. this would get harpooned if he's waiting for counterpunching opportunities over a fighter who throws punches in bunches from every anglein the book.. his defense is too shady for him to be waiting for Vitali to make a mistake.

Vitali easily, dudes on a different level.

If the fight went the distance Wlad would be the first fighter to win a legit 3 rds against him.... 4rd tops as he is NOT going to be nearly as active over someone who can reach him as easily as he can reach Vitali.. throw in the fact Vitali won't be hugged voluntarily by Wlad & ONLY WHEN they get tied up.. most likely 9 to 10 rd TKO for Vitali at any point in there careers including now.

come on man charr was countering vitali effectively. is charr a great counter-puncher now? the overrating of a guy with a sh-it resume continues.
