    Vitali would make Wlad cry

    I would be totally surprised if this fight does happen. I would go with Wlad. He's younger, quicker, and has a better technique than Vitali. Vitali leaves himself wide open to right hands because he keeps his hands down by his waist.

    the only reason why he might be saying this is vitali may be retiring for good soon....and be a nice send off, and if wlad were to lose, no harm done really

    "so i lost to my brother".....no big deal.

    This is just a silly charade. The brothers will never fight each other.

    i could never fight my brother in that situation. weve duked it out a couple of times but neither one is a pro fighting champ so little chance of serious injury. it would be an interesting psychological experiment.

    I would hate to see this happen......Blood brothers should never fight in a pro fight.

    I am sure they could box because brothers fight all the time, but the buildup and all that, it just would not be a normal heavyweight championship fight. It changes the whole thing. And if one of them was hurt I am not sure they could just keep punching.

    Klitschkos will never fight each other period. They have said that from the beginnning, they also made promise to their mother and they will always keep it. No way would such a fight happen. It's been decided this way for many years now. Subject is closed.

    Then why say this now? I guess it drums up some publicity, but when the fight doesn't come off, what does it really give the two? I don't know why it would make me all that more interested to see Wlad or Vitali's next bouts compared to my current level, which is admittedly high in general. It wouldn't be until the fight looked like it was about to happen that this would really get huge.

    thats what i mean. if you punch your brother hard enough to ko him, the potential for serious injury or death is there. for what, money? i think its morbid to want to see 2 brothers kick each others head in.
    they could agree to go soft on each other but then they are screwing the paying public.

    These two won't be fighting each other - it just isn't going to happen....
