So Who's BETTER???...Vitali or Wlad???...

It's a SHAME that the 2 BEST Heavyweights of the Last Few Years will NEVER Face Each Other, but So B It...

That DOESN'T Stop Us from WONDERING who's BETTER btwn the 2, However...

Vitali or Wladimir Klitschko???...

Wlad's the More ATHLETIC of the 2...The More SKILLED...HARDER 1 Shot Puncher, QUICKER Handed, BETTER Mobility...& He Generally Wins his Fights more IMPRESSIVELY...

Vitali's the TOUGHER of the 2...Better CHIN, Stronger MENTALLY & a More PHYSICAL Fighter than Wlad...

If U COMBINE them N 2 ONE Fighter, U'd have a PERFECT Heavyweight...But Since that's IMPOSSIBLE, who'd Win a Head to Head, Brother vs. Brother Matchup???...Who's ERA is this???...



REED:dunno:

 

Always go with the older brother.

 

Well, I have never seen Vitali beaten up in the ring, so I'd have to go with him.

 

Vitali highlights the superiority of a tough mentallity over mere superior athletacism when it comes to boxing.. Vitali is the solid, dependable one,..Wlad has more bells and whistles.

 

At the end of their careers, I think Wladimir will have accomplished more, perhaps a lot more, but the majority will probably always consider Vitali the better one.

 

Vitali would beat Wlad, but Wlad is better and has the runs on the board to prove it.

 

Vitali has the mentality of an older brother...Wlad of a younger one.

 

Vitali...and it's because Vitali actually fights and doesn't throw jabs all night and then grab onto his opponent with both arms when the opponent starts to throw punches. I think Wladamir should be DQ'ed in every fight he has for excessive holding. I don't consider what he does boxing. Vitali goes in there and rags. His punches may not look as forcefull, but I could have sworn I saw on the screen tonight that of his 35 victories, 34 came by knockout (tonight would make that 35 of 36.)

 

I can't believe this is a threadable question. Vitali has shown the courage, strength and durability to be a consistent champion and could probably be a decent HW during any boxing era in history. Can you say the same for Wlad? Hell no. He's a fucking soft pussy who has to be matched with HW's who either have no chin or no power. You put him in with a guy who has both and you're gambling with your money. Wlad is all style and no substance and his brother is guaranteed money in the bank that I would have no trouble betting on.

Only thing Wlad is better at then Vitali is hitting the mitts and hitting the canvas. It should be pretty obvious who's better when big brother has to keep coming in and cleaning up the job that Wlad fails to do right.

 

Don't tell that to Chris Byrd.

 

::

 

Kelly Pavlik has 2 OLDER Brothers...Sugar Ray Leonard KO'ed his Older Brother N Sparring...Would a PRIME Leon Spinks Beat a PRIME Michael Spinks???...



REED:dunno:

 

I might take Orlin over Terry, though.

 

::

Orlin's BIGGER & would Therefore Probably WIN a Head to Head Matchup...But Terry was CLEARLY Better...

But It's FUNNY how Orlin had a Fairly STOUT Chin, yet Terry's was Augie SanchezESQUE...Similar to Vitali & Wlad...
REED:hammert:

 

In a head to head matchup, I'd always favor the older brother. It's a psychological advantage as well as a tactical one because you know that momma sitting ringside would be more prone to throwing the towel in if the younger one is getting tagged.

What about Roger vs Floyd Sr? Rafael vs Juan Manuel Marquez? I'm not saying the older would win here but I want to see what you think about those matchups.

 

there have been some dumb fucking arguements already in this thread.

Its clearly Vitali, he's never been beaten/never even been behind on the cards in his entire career.

How could we be talking about this?

 

Yep, the one lone bullshit loss the Vitali haters love to pull out of their ass to try to discredit Vitali. This is all they have. Even in the Lewis loss Vitali was respectable.

I can't believe 3 people picked Wlad. You're supposed to pick who's better not which one you like. Some biased or ignorant motherfuckers around here.

 

and more than that, how could you like Wlad more.

One fights with heart, one doesn't

 

Well a lot of people have it in for Vitali because of all the injuries and pullouts he had over his career, but even then IN the ring he's still more durable than Wlad. I never understood the hate. It kind or reminded me of the MAB and Morales love/hate where everyone used to hate MAB and loved Morales.

 

Vitali.

I don't think it's close either.

 

In the Klitschko bio, it was said that Vitali and Wlad did indeed spar at one time and Vitali couldn't hang with Wlad and got hurt. They never sparred again. No bullsh*t.

 

REED has to Admit he's Somewhat SHOCKED @ how ABSOLUTE the Pro-Vitali Faction is Being...REED Posed this Question Because he Actually Thought there was some DOUBT as to Which Brother is Better...Maybe There ISN'T...

Anyways, for the Sake of ARGUMENT, Peep their Respective Resumes (Who they Actually BEAT)...

Wlad - Tony Thompson, Sultan Ibragimov, Ray Austin, Lamon Brewster, Calvin Brock, Chris Byrd (2x), Sam Peter, Eliseo Castillo, DaVarryl Williamson, Jameel McCline, Ray Mercer, Frans Botha, Derrick Jefferson, Monte Barrett...

Vitali - Sam Peter, Corrie Sanders, Danny Williams, Kirk Johnson, Larry Donald, Vaughn Bean, Orlin Norris, Obed Sullivan, Ross Purrity, Herbie Hide...

w/Out a Doubt, Wlad's Resume is Deeeeeeeeeper & he's ACCOMPLISHED More...Sure, he's More VULNERABLE, but he's Also more Technically SOUND...



REED:mj:

 

Wlad WEATHERED Some Genuine ADVERSITY N the Thompson Fight...


REED:hammert:

 

That's NOT Surprising to REED...

Despite his KO Ratio, Vitali ISN'T a 1 Punch Threat & his ROBOTIC Style of Fighting is Tailor Made for a Big ATHLETIC Sort like Wlad...Vitali's Got the More TENDER Skin as Well...

Head to Head, REED Thinks Wlad would Win 7 Out of 10 Times...



REED:hammert:

 

On a sad note for some and probably a positive note for others, there is nobody left in the division to challenge either Klitschko. It's been completely cleared out. The division is near finished and the Klitschkos will hold the belts until they retire.
There sure has been a shift in the sport and it seems no young athlete in North America has any aspirations of being a boxer. The other sports together have finally killed boxing in North America. I think the division is officially dead now and soon, the entire sport will follow.

 

Roger was By Faaaaaaaaaaaar the BEST of the Mayweather Brothers, but Since Floyd Sr. Fought @ HIGHER Weights, he'd Probably Beat Roger...

Ditto for the Marquez Brothers...

It's FUNNY how the YOUNGER Brother Usually Seems to B the More TALENTED N these Equations, even if he CAN'T Beat his Older Sibling Head to Head...The Mayweathers, the Marquez's, the Klitschko's AND the Spinks' All Apply...


REED:hammert:

 

Holyfield will unify.

 

THe only way to gauge a Wlad vs Vitali matchup is to watch Lewis/Vitali. Because of Lewis' size, reach and talent, he could touch Vitali's chin which is difficult for 99% of the other heavyweights out there as you saw tonight in Peter. Hence when Lewis made contact on Vitali clean, he managed to open some serious cracks and cuts on Vitali's face.
I don't think Vitali's skin would hold up too well to Wlad's leather. Wlad has the more precise straight right than Lewis although he's not as athletic or as tough as Lennox was.
If Wlad and Vitali weren't brothers and WERE to fight, I'd give Wlad a great chance in winning. It's all about styles and I think Wlad's style is the right style in beating Vitali. The handspeed and overall skill level Wlad possesses would give Vitali a lot of problems. And not since Lennox would Vitali be facing a guy with that much reach, size and punching power as he would in Wlad. And if Wlad's on his A game and is blasting those 50-60 jabs per round and coming over with rights, it would be a serious test for Vitali.
Just my view but I give Wlad a very good shot.

 

There's NO Way the Entire Sport will Follow...

Even N America there's PLENTY of Guys that LACK the Size, Finances or Wherewithal to REALISTICALLY Become Basketball, Baseball or Football Players...

& Those R the Guys that GRAVITATE to Boxing...

Americans like Floyd Mayweather, Zab Judah, Jason Litzau & Others have Athletic TALENT, but LACKED the Size to Realistically COMPETE @ Anything OTHER than Boxing...

OR, as Aaron Pryor Used to Say, "I was Tooooooo Small for Other Sports, but in Boxing, I was just Right."

As for the Heavyweight Division, REED ISN'T Ready to Completely Write That Off Either...

REED:hammert:

 

& that was an UNinterested, UNprepared, OUT OF SHAPE Lennox, Facing Vitali on 2 Weeks Notice....
