Vitali finishes Joshua last night un like Vlad I'm afraid We will have to agree to disagree here I'm afraid
Joshua still has a career to unfold but from what we've seen you'd make Vitali the favourite even if he had to eat some big punches en route to a victory.
OMG!! Kirk JOhnson is a better win! retired sanders is a better win?! journeyman chisora is a better win?? flop mate. no, sam peter was a titlist, however weak, thats better than that lot
Wladimir is a better boxer, mover, faster and harder puncher than vitali. however if vitali was going to brawl joshua, he could come out on top. Tough tough man.
Peter was always overrated. Yeah Peter had a belt but Sanders had a belt too. Sanders also has a KO win vs Wladimir. BTW Kirk Johnson stopped Maskaev quicker as Peter did
but sanders wouldnt have had a belt without the paucity of wlad. Sandrs wouldnthave even had a title shot in retirement. That argument is fail. Peter was the only titlist Vits beat.
wbo one, the unrecognised organisation? you have half an argument at best. I deal with the full pack.
Just rewatched it on HBO wanted to hear the other commentary and was pleasantly surprised to see they used different camera angles from the sky broadcast made it enjoyable again to re watch.
Vitali was a real Bad ass in the Ring, his Chin and Power is one of the Greates ! Prime Vitali agains This Joshua Version now Sorry But Vitali would Destroy him Easy. Iam absolute Not a Klitschko Fan But the fact is Vitali Klitschko is Very very underrated as Boxer, and he was much better than his Brother Wlad.
Wlad's faster and hits harder no doubt, but a better boxer and a better mover no, not even close. Faster feet doesn't mean you have better movement. Wlad has quicker feet than Tyson Fury, but he doesn't have better movement than Fury. Good movement is more than just quick feet. Vitali moved laterally far better than Wlad. Compare Wlad and Vitali's performances against Peter to see the difference. Wlad fought the fight a lot of the time on the edges of the ring, forced to back up to the ropes against Peter's aggression. Vitali fights the vast majority of the fight smack in the center of the ring. His better lateral movement ensured he could keep the center and have space to box. Wlad's tendency to back up too much forced him to the edges, while Vitali's much smarter and more subtle movement ensured he controlled where the fight was fought. Wlad's the better athlete but Vitali is the better boxer. Where's Wlad's upper cut, where's his counter punching. Vitali has a greater variety to his shots, he can counter punch unlike Wlad too. Vitali's upper body movement is better to.
He tried to finish him but he couldn't land a punch, Anthony Joshua ducked most of his shots in the 6th round, it's a myth that Wlad didn't try to finish him, watch the fight for once and you will see.
