He will find you….and he will kill you!

Except when he’s in the ring.

I take exception to your description of Vitali as hulking and brutish. He fights with smart gameplans and can adapt very well. He also throws both straights and jabs with surprising speed (partially due to him only throwing arm punches). For all Kingpin is “slick” and Vitali isn’t that doesn’t mean that the older Klitschko is easy to hit. He keeps people at range, moves his head back, blocks and clinches very effectively; he is great example of how to use height well in defense.

There is also a remarkable power disparity between the two fighters. While Klitschko hits big and has the highest KO rate of any champion in history, (yes, this is also caused by a lack of strong opposition) Johnson only has 9 KOs with 5 of those coming in his first 9 fights. And while it’s true that he knocked out his last three opponents, who all had goodish records, none fo them were ranked within the top 100 at heavyweight.

I just don’t see him winning this fight.
