    Quarry was 6'0 195-200 in his prime, so he's giving away lots of size to either brother. But which brother would Quarry have the best chance to upset, Vitali or Wlad?

    Neither. Too small. You can't give up that kind of size to an athlete who is just as sklilled as you are or more.

    Quarry would have an advantage in speed and movement.

    He loses to both. Just too small. However, Quarry was way too tough and skilled to get blown out early.

    But stylistically, Quarry would do okay with Vitali for a while. Vitali being the more aggressive K brother who lets his hands go and occasionally slugs on the front foot would be somewhat vulnerable to Quarry's counters. I think Quarry manages to win maybe 2-3 rounds giving a good account of himself before getting stopped in the 9th.

    I selected Vitali at first, but that’s because I was looking at it from the lens of who he could have more success against in terms of landed punches and boxing with.

    But then I realised that he stands virtually no chance against even Vitali in a boxing match, and I don’t give him much of a chance of winning against either, but Wlad could capitulate if hurt, so if he just went at Wlad, if he somehow hurt him, Wlad does often lose his composure, so that’s the best chance he stands of beating either, is just trying to take them out, and he stands a better chance of doing that against Wlad.

    Although I wouldn’t give him much of a chance against even Wlad, of winning any kind of way.
