    Has anybody watched a Vitali fight, or know how to tell him and his brother Wlad apart? Wlad is robotic, lumbering, with big time power. Vitali is one of the most fluid heavyweights for his size it's rediculous. What Heavyweight (that isn't completely gassed) fights with his hands down?? Moves around the ring, moves his head to take impact off punches, etc?
    How anybody can call this guy robotic is beyond me. He does arm punch a good bit these days, but he breaks his opponents down over time. Again, there is a difference between Vitali and Wlad. Look up some pics, listen to the announcers that say there name, notice the huge difference between the two in boxing styles. Just cuz it's a ukraine guy that's over 6'5 doesn't mean he's the same guy...

    Style made to fight shorter people. If he fought someone taller, he would get killed. I'm talking anyone taller who turn their hips in with their punches. For example, if he fought Shaq, he would get killed. And im serious.

    Unorthodox, leans back from punches very athletic for a big man. No inside game though.

    I would describe his style as non-existent.

    A cross between Herman Munster and Lurch w/ a pinch of Primo mixed in and topped off w/ a sprinkle of Willard.

    He's a pressure fighter.

    He works behind the jab, comes forward, breaks guys down with arm punches. High KO rate but not really a puncher.

    He got that lanky form that makes him awkward as hell, but he gets it done.

    Offensive minded counter puncher with a very high work rate.
    Looks ackward and unconventional but is master of distance and timing.

    To the more knowledgeble it has been said over and over that he does something quite special.
    To the less informed it just looks gangly and they think its just size + good chin.

    shaq? shaq is a basketball player ,I would bet on Valueev to KO him within 3 rds, Vitali could KO him anytime he wants, I would bet on Tyson Fury to KO Shaq. Stop watching exhibition matches .

    Primo? GTFOH

    Carnera was **** at defense, that's a fact. He didn't use his size or control distance the way VK does. Watch a few more fights before commenting. :deal
