I'm not talking about punching power, but about raw strenght. Strenght to manhandle opponents in clinches, push them around, toss them like rag dolls if they wanted to, etc. Both brothers are inmensely strong, but who takes the cake in your opinion?
Wlad... Just look at the guy! Vitali seems to always have been the more fluid brother, better chin, etc. Although, I was impressed with Wlads movement in his last fight.
Not sure about that. I've never seen Vitali manhandled by anyone, and that includes Lennox. Wlad's preference for clinches has a lot to do with protecting his shaky chin, he needs to avoid inside fighting.
Was actually thinking that as well, Wlad got thrown a bit by Wach as well. I have never seen anyone do that to Vitali.
I concur with these posts. I think Wlad's punching power is superior because of his overall athleticism and speed, and the fact he actually sits on his punches. Vitali throws mostly arm punches, they're not explosive like Wlad's, but they do a lot of accumulative damage, and they're hard enough to still give Vitali's the highest KO% in history I think Vitali might be naturally stronger, but he doesn't have Wlad's solid fundamentals, athleticism and speed therefore his one punch KO power is inferior. Imagine if Vitali had them. :yikes
Timo Hoffman? first time Vitali went the distance.... he was the same size as Wach. Vitali also manhandled him.
