Vitali V Wlad: From a historical perspective

Wlad is tougher. He doesn't quit on the stool when the going gets tough like vitali :good

 

"When the going gets tough"? :huh

VK was utterly dominating Byrd, but suffered from a severe shoulder injury late in the fight & quit on his stool in terrible pain.

 

You must be a fan of Vitali as well as Sonny! :shock:

Brothers should not be expected to fight one another, it is odd though how they dominated the division...

I re-watched the Vitali-Lewis fight the other day and other than the bad cut Vitali was ahead and they were both tired. In retrospect it is historically Vitali was has the better stamina and late power over Lewis...also I noticed a lot of hold and hit and head (corn Row) mushing from Lennox...the thing that hurts Vitali Legacy wise was the 4 yrs out

Vlad has had a tremendous run despite a few losses has come back strong and he is one of the better big men in history, the other being Lennox and Vitali

They are close brothers and if they did fight everyone would think it was staged especially if it ended in a draw

 

There were plenty of fighters in history who continued with the same injury. Especially when winning. Vitali´s toughness ia quite overrated and Wlad´s underrated.

 

IMO Lewis and Wlad are on a different level to Bowe and Vitali.

 

atsch

 

If effects their legacy, because simply, they didnt fight the best. Theres no two ways about it, it cannot be ignored, it is that simple. But they cannot be insulted for it, because you cannot expect them to fight each other, its just very unfortunate circumstances. I dont need to go into the ethics and principles behind it, theyre obvious. Anything can happen when you punch someone in the head, death being one.

 

This is where I think Wlad is screwed, because he did beat the best available to him...for about four years. Then Vitali comes back and it's as if he never left, in all the wrong ways, for Wlad, and Wlad's legacy.

 

Yeah, it's basically the same deal as Dempsey-Wills.
And it's true Dempsey didn't fight him because he didn't want to run the risk of killing a brother.

 

Ooooooh i see what you did there.

 

V.K. had a bad injury back in 2000 against Byrd... Okay, so he quit when he prolly should've carried on and looked to last out the fight... It was a mistake / error in judgement, but he has more than made up for it by kickin' some big time ass over the last decade....

V.K. is much Tougher and Meaner then little brother Wladdy....

:bbb:good:deal

SR.BILL:hat

 

:roflatsch:admin

I'll buy (after a few Ale's down the hatch) that Bowe rates lower due to laziness and a short career, but V.K. is elite for sure...bbb

SR.BILL:hat

 

very good

 

No, he is not. Not the way the other two are.
