Lost due to an injury and also against one of the greatest fighters in history At least he beat all his second tier guys, a few rolled Wlad like a drunk
!00% It is clear to me who watched both live that Vitali was the better, but with injury and move into politics, he was happy to let wee bro have the shine I already concede that Wlad is greater as far as accomplishments, but better? Not imo
Lost due to the injury caused by his opponents. And yes, lost to one of the GOATs, who was 38 and out of shape.
That out of shape GOAT would destroy the versions of AJ and Fury that Usyk beat and also destroy the version of Wlad that Fury and AJ beat. FFS he wasn't THAT out of shape, he isn't Andy Ruiz
Maybe, but again, it's a huge "woulda, coulda, shoulda". Vitali is one of these "what if" type of fighters.
I already conceded that Wlad has a greater resume, why are you so caught up with my opinion who was better? I told you already I have Wlad higher All time, but I think vitali was a better fighter in his prime. I guarantee if we do a poll I won't be the only one
To be honest hypothetical matchups are huge part of the discussion in this sport and any other even though they are kinda pointless in a way.
Of course it's impacted his career. Wlad had the greater career, but it's clear who the better brother was.
I don't think anyone is arguing against Wlad doing much more. No one disputes that. However Vitali was definitely the better of the two.
For me, to have a claim to be better than someone, you have to either accomplish more, or beat him in the fight. Vitali haven't done neither, so Wlad's way better in my eyes.
Wlad accomplished more, we aren't disputing that. But Vitali is clearly a better boxer when you watch them fight.
