Wlad UD Wlad's footwork has improved immeasureably over the past few years. Vitali would find it extremely difficult to land cleanly on his brother. Vitali is also in the same mold as Pavlik, he wears his opponents down before knocking them out. He doesn't have the same one punch knockout power as say a Lennox Lewis. I don't think he will be able to land enough shots on his brother to knock him out.
Wladimir´s chin is not so bad. Wlad would box circles araound Vitali. His footwork is amazing for a big man his size. He changes the angles very quick and throws his superior Jab. Vitali´s power is overrated, like Wladimir´s chin underrated. Vitali hit Lewis flush in the 2nd round and Lewis did not go down like he did against Rahman. Vitali had not that one-punch-power. Wlad win by wide UD or late TKO.
:rofl You´re a clown. Though i give you, that Vitaly´s power is overrated, it´s still enough for Wlad´s weak chin. Wlad´s jab wouldn´t be the key factor, as Vitaly is even bigger. Wlad has much more problems to win the jab-debate if his opponent can match him in size and reach, just watch the Tony Thompson-fight. Sooner or later Vitaly would catch him and then it would be Wlad again crawling on the floor. Wlad is just lucky that there is no contender out there with the ability to bring the fight to him. Wlad is a heavyweight Sven Ottke with punch.
i voted vitali by ko , but , remember that even at his peak he couldn't stop timo hoffman. think about wlad who's about the same size as hoffman , but can punch back hard. i really am not so sure anymore. plus , wlad stopped tony thompson , ray austin and jameel mccline whom are close to his size.
You are the clown.Vitali cannot KO Timo Hoffmann, Wlad ko´es Hoffmann in the amateurs in less than 30 seconds! Wlad had very good footword and he is very fast. Too fast for Vitali. True words from The Ring, the bible of boxing:
What a comparison ! Vitaly couldn´t KO Timo Hoffmann, who is known for his iron head, so he cannot KO his brother, who is knwn for his weak chin. Tony Thompson was able to land on Wladimir and he is much slower than Vitaly. When Wladimir does not have that huge size and reach advantage he isn´t dominating as he is with smaller opponents, simply cause he can´t land his jab that easy. Vitaly can both take and give a punch. Wlad can only give, if he has to take, he´s crawling on the floor. I know, deep in your head you know that Vitaly is the better fighter, but you´re so in love with Wladimir that you will never admit it.
Omfg. Try imagine this fight! Who ever throws the first punch.. Their mother would jump in the ring and beat crap out of both of them!:-(
Thompson is a southpaw! Wladimir´s chin is much better than you think and Wlad is a much better boxer than his brother Vitali. And this had nothing to do with love to Wlad. I know boxing stuff and Vitali is not the fighter some of you will see in him. Asked Wladimir Zolotarew, the amateur Trainer of the Klitschko-Brothers, who is the better boxer and who will win: His answer is Wladimir. Fritz Sdunek ruins Wlad because he never trains fighters how to take a punch, to avoid punches, footwork, how to clinch. Look at Dimitrenko vs. Chambers what happend. And thats Sdunek. Lennox Lewis needs one round to destroy the face from Vitali because of bad footwork and bad defence. Vitali stood on his feet after round 6, but lost to and old anmotivated Lewis. And Wladimir is an intelligent man to see reality. And he changes his training and his style! And this not because of his chin but because this is necessary to be sucsessful in professional boxing and to stay healthy. Wlad goes back to his "old style". He learned this style from Zolotarew and won olympic gold. With Steward he goes back to the roots and makes this style much better. In the amateurs Wladimir was a very good mover in the ring, great footwork etc. Sdunek turns his style after 1999 and turned him into a "stand-boxer". In the earlier days Wladimir did not stand in the center of the ring. He moves very well, he clinches, he knows all the stuff. He had an excellent amateur-background and not this DDR-****. Thanks god that he now had an excellent coach in his corner!
