    My thoughts exactly. I can't ever seeing him losing to the likes of Purrity and Brewster or being taken to the brink by Peter. I do seeing him beating everyone Wlad beat, though. But injuries prevented from fully showing this.

    And if somehow the Klitschko's were ever to face off against each other, Wladimir wouldn't be able to implement his usual tactics (like he couldn't against the other elite SHW he faced). Vitali would impose his will and dish out a classic big brother beatdown en route to a stoppage win when after one meeting with the canvas too many, Wlad fails to beat the count.

    Has there ever been a high profile fight between brothers or even close relatives?
    Was there ever a demand for the Baer brothers who took on Louis to fight each other?

    @janitor probably has some intel on the Baer brothers and talk about a meet.

    I think Wlad would be a pretty large underdog against Tyson and, to a lesser extent, Sanders (too easy). Vitali would be a large underdog against nobody.

    I agree 100%. I rate Vk's chin as high as a chin can be rated.

    Vitali for me. Wlad has a crisper arsenal but doesn't have the durability to fully cash in on them. Vitali's size, chin and workrate would give him a better chance of toppling past greats.

    Vitali gets my vote. More awkward to fight, more sturdy, better chin. Both brother s have there strength s and weakness but in h2h vitali had more strength s.

    Vitali all day long. Vitali is the only post Lewis HW id pick to beat comeback Foreman and thats no easy feat.

    Wlad fought fights by jumping off the canvas in order to apply more weight down upon his opponents backs so he doesn't stack up in fairly fought H2H fantasy match -ups.

    And tbf any HW who goes life and death with Sam Peters automatically ejects themselves from the discussion.

    Wlad. Even though Wlad got stopped multiple times he was always ahead on the scorecards. Even when he got dropped 3 times against Peter, outside of those kd rounds Wlad controlled then entire fight and made Peter look like he didn't belong in boxing.

    Vitali quit on a shoulder injury when he was waaay ahead on the scorecards. Literally all he had to do was finish the fight. No champ does that type of ****. He also got his face turned to a raw steak against the worst version of Lennox Lewis.

    Wlad would have more success for sure.

    Vitali is unlikely to be stopped by punches and never lost more than 3 rounds on ANY of the judges cards.

    Plus he's a better body shot and in-fighter.

    Laughable, which one of Wlad's opponents beats Lewis at age 36?

    Wlad fought better overall, but not by that huge of a margin.

    Vitali did better vs common opponents, in Sanders, Peter, and Purity.

    There you have it.

    Funny that. To me it looked like it was Wlad who was the guy who didn't belong in boxing.

    What part of , cowering , grappling , bear hugging , groping and running away in the opposite direction is boxing to you?
    Peter boxed more in that fight than Wlad and he was a talent -less bum.

    Go watch Vitali make Peter look like he didn't belong in the sport. You have the brothers mixed up.

    I completely disagree and I think if you watch the fight all the way through you will find that my view lines up with it. Look at the punch stats. Wlad landed more than double what Peter did. Outside of rds 5 and 10 where Peter scored kd's he only won a single rd.

    Wlad wasn't cowering, grappling, bear hugging, groping, or running away in the Peter fight. Peter definitley didn't box more than Wlad. That is absolutely undeniable. Wlad had Peter where he wanted him for 9 rds.
