    I know the interview but I really don“t see a realistic chance for it to happen. They often in press conferences and interviews make jokes about who is the better fighter but as I sayd they both admitted it that Vitali has the clear edge in chin and killer instinct. Neither their mom nor Vitalis wife would allow that fight. In fact Wladimir is even more afraight of Vitalis beautifull wife that most other people on the planet. You saw the fear in his eyes when they were both interviewed together (Wladimir and Vitalis wife) on german TV after Vitalis last fight :D:D:D

    PS: The thing with the broken leg happened when they were young.

    no. some things should not be for sale. selling out your brother for money to satisfy someones morbid curiosity is undignified for a champion of the world. in the world of scrubs where everything is for sale it makes sense but these guys are educated, dignified, allready wealthy men. why play cain and abel for the delight of someone you would never want to associate with anyway.

    First off, nobody can force the Klitschko brothers to fight each other. You can take away their belts, but you cannot force them into a fight. It's them who decide.
    Second, I don't have any interest in watching that fight, because it would inevitably be staged. I just need to think of the Klitschko's marketing concept to expect a nice piece of acting instead of a true boxing match.
    And finally, the Klitschkos are the least reason for not having one undisputed heavyweight champion. (Although, by strictly objective criteria, Wladimir Klitschko can well be seen as that, as boring as he might be to watch.) Systematically preventing the unifaction of titles is the work of other people. And not just that. Actually, Wladimir Klitschko is the one who accomplished to unify major titles after some years without a unifying heavyweight champion.

    I meant to say that if they don't fight the other belt holders they would be stripped of their belt. I'm not blaming them for the lack of unification, wlad has done more than most have done in the last 8 years

    Like other Beltholders who aren't siblings ?

    Is that what you mean ?

    Should Dawson be FORCED to fight Diaconu ?

    Abraham Pavlik ?

    etc .


    'cause we all know that the only thing stopping us getting unification here is the fact that they're brothers.

    Right ?



    (BTW, if the ever did fight to unify all the belts plus RING plus linear, it would be the biggest bout (not the best, but the biggest ) since FOTC nearly forty years ago.)

    I don't see why not, half the people who responded are in favor of it. The only one pissing and moaning like a little girl is you.

    Wlad was actually talking this up earlier: http://www.setanta.com/uk/Articles/...Wlad-Id-consider-fighting-brother/gnid-56110/. It won't ever happen but if it did, for me, Vitali puts Wlad to sleep- out cold. If they weren't brothers I'd love the fight to happen but seeing as they are, I wouldn't like to see it- the aftermath wouldn't be nice. Wlad has been put on his arse by much smaller men and God only knows what Vitali could do to him.

    No one can 'force' them to fight, certainly not the alphabettys.

    They'd be stripped of belts and still be recongized as the legit champs.
