Vitali is my favorite of the brothers, always has and always will be. With that bias aside, it's quite clear that Wladimir has the better record/competition/reign/legacy. It's just reality.
Wladimir would beat Vitali, and is a superior boxer, and has a far superior resume, and has a gold medal. Vitali has been caught with drugs, lost to the best fighters he has faced, TKO6, quit on his stool, RTD9, glass knees, glass shoulder, paper face.
Pretty much. Vitali would be the favorite H2H against Wlad, but that is just a mythical matchup. Wlad's resume of wins is so much better than Vitali's. It's not even close.
Shitali Klitschko HA! Couldnt even beat a fat old paper chin Lummox Lewis. Wlad would stop Shitali in 5 if they fought today.
If there was one championship, and they weren't brothers, then I think Vitali would've stomped Wladimir.
The overall better fighter yes. But Wladimir is greater now. I think it would have been better if Vitali was the one with most of the belts now, his fight against Lewis, though he lost it, was like passing the torch, unfortunately he got injured.
Down grading one to legitimise the other is pretty futile really! The only illusion in HW boxing is the illusion that the HW division has declined rather than it has simply shifted geographically!
