Mythical matchup because it would never happen... Wlad has slightly faster hands, slightly more power, better combination puncher has the more polished style...Vitali has the better chin, the better stamina and the more awkward style. Which prevails? I think 90% of the forum will agree with me...Vitali prevails and by KO. TOUGHNESS Kills!
For long I have thought the same, that Vitali's superior chin is the deciding factor and that he eventually chops Wlad down. However as of late I have changed my pick. It seems that Wlad can control himself under pressure now. He does not panic but he knows what to do when attacked. Thus I think Wlad with his far superior jab would control the fight. His left would land on Vitali and score points. The one who has to attack will give the edge to the opponent here, and IMHO it is Vitali who would have to open up, but it would be difficult to get past Wlad's straight punches. Wlad wins 8-4
Wlad. Once upon a time, the consensus was junior was the greater talent, with more gifts all-round, than his robotic big bro. After Wlad's fragilities were exposed more than once, though, people seemed to gravitate toward Vitali's more resolute features. The pendulum has swung the other way for the masses now, but not for me. Big bro is obscenely over-estimated. Give me Wlad on points. I don't rate either as especially worthy, though.
Most people won't participate in this one since they would actually have to pick Klitschko to win and that is out of question in MMs:kidcool:
If we say they are both trying, I think Vitali would stop him in the middle rounds. But if they actually did fight, you can 100% sure Wlad would sleep walk to a decision.
Vitaly easilly. I don't like him, but he has more heart than his bro, and can take some punches. Wlad is chinless and heartless, he quits when he gets hit or he gets pressured too much.
That's insightful. So far it has never happened, but perhaps this is the fight where it will. :bears:
He lost there as he became exhausted, but he never quit, it was a stoppage. You could make a claim that the fight proves Wlad crumbles under pressure (which is wrong too) but there is no case for it having anything to do with his heart and if you actually watch what happens you notice it
Yes, his lack of herat was exposed when he layed on the ground after the round was over cause he was too afraid of the pressure of little Lemon brewster. (unless you belive that don king drugged him with poisoned vaseline) Not to mention that he nearly quit against Peter even if he wasn't hit clear once. Luckily for him, Peter is a neaderthalien.
Great, from now on I will pick Sugar Ray Leonard to lose every MM on cuts because nearly got cut against Donnie Lalonde::
Let's just say that if the peter fight was stopped after one of the numerous occsions wlad threw humself to the ground cause he was about to get hit, not many people would have complained. But hey, I guess he was also drugged with poisoned vaseline for this fight
Wald has far more talent but he has no chin, he lacks toughness... Vitali is nothing if not tough... that closes the talent gap here, in my opinion gimme big brother by TKO around 7
I disagree with you pick (not that I at all find it difficult to believe), but completely concur with your sentiments. Vitali has become over-rated. He was always the less-gifted.
Yeah...I'm actually surprised that two people actually think Wlad's resolve would hold him under Vitali's assault. Remember..it's near impossible to hurt Vitali it would seem....
definitely... he gets by with toughness and size and the benefit of a truly destitute division Wladimir has outstanding skills, and is mechanically far more advanced
Vitali easily. Wlad wouldn't put up a fight, he loves his big bro too much, looks at him all puppy eyed etc.
