Vitali Klitschko Looking Kind of Old

By Boxing News - 09/04/2009 - Comments

By Chris Williams: I’m starting to have second thoughts on the Vitali Klitschko vs. Chris Arreola bout on September 26th, after seeing recent photos of Klitschko. He’s really started to look old. He’s looks like he was dipped in a bottle of old and came out of it looking like he’s in his mid 40s.

Forget about 38, his current age, Klitschko looks at least seven years older than that. I need to rethink my pick of him beating Arreola. By looking at how decrepit Vitali has become in the past year, I now think that Arreola is going to beat him. I wonder what Klitschko is doing to get old that fast? Whatever it is, Vitali seriously needs to stop because he turns into an old man over night.

Arreola doesn’t look at that young either for a 28-year-old, looking closer to 34, but he looks like a baby next to Vitali. Seriously, Klitschko needs to get a hold of some Just For Men hair color and go at it. That’ll at least take care of the silver locks that Klitschko is starting to sport on the sides. But I don’t know what Vitali can do for his face. He just looks like a 40 something year old person.

Even if he dyes his hair, his face is still going to look his age. And it might not be worth the trouble. It’s like when you see an older woman at the store and you can just tell that they’ve dyed their hair, because it looks so unnatural because the rest of them look 45 or 50, and just looks old. It’s kind of like that with Klitschko. He could do what George Foreman did when he made a comeback in his 40s.

Foreman shaved off all his hair and went with the chrome dome look. Somehow, I suspect that might not look too good on Vitali, because his head will likely look like a giant white cue ball, and it would probably attract a lot of attention. And then he’d still have his old looking face and body, and what’s the point then?

Hopefully, Klitschko fights better than he looks, because he is really starting to look kind of long in the tooth. If Arreola comes into the fight looking like a giant blob, then it matter how old Vitali looks. He’ll take care of Arreola in the same way he did with a grossly overweight Kirk Johnson in 2003.

Arreola better not come into this fight like he’s been gorging 24/7 in one of those all you can eat buffet type places, because he’ll get torn apart by Vitali and blow his golden opportunity to pick up a title. Sylvester Stallone is a special case.

He has a face and hair that looks like a 60-year-old, but his body is like someone in their early 40s. It’s pretty amazing how he’s been able to keep his body together after all this time because he’s got to be in his early 60s by now.
