    My take:

    Look at their resumes and it's clear: all the best opponents go to Wlad, while the fat bums go to Vitali.

    The only exceptions on Vitali's resume are Chris Byrd (a great fighter who embarrassed Vitali and was immediately fed to the more talented Wlad), and Lennox Lewis, a reigning champion who could pick and choose who he preferred to fight - guess whom he picked?

    Wlad, on the other hand, has to fight the best of the best: guys who are in good shape and fast, like Chris Byrd, Eddie Chambers, Ruslan Chagaev, Lamon Brewster, Sultan Ibrahimov, (prime) Sam Peter, and now David Haye. When Alex Povetkin became n.1 contender, he was immediately offered a shot at Wlad - not Vitali (whom he would have embarrassed imo).

    I hope everyone sees through the smoke and mirrors, because Vitali is a paper champion and his KO average is completely ridiculous when you see the opposition he fought. Have you noticed that his opponents are all fat and slow? Why doesn't this so called "champion" have to fight fast and clever fighters like Povetkin, Chambers, or Chagaev? His "title" is a paper one.

    Cased closed: the champ is Wlad. :deal

    Yet Vitali holds the most prestigious of the heavyweight belts and had to fight Sanders because Wlad didn`t want the rematch as he knew Sanders had his number and would knock him out every time.

    vitali is the more natural fighter, he is a better boxer then wlad as well, and he is definitely more bad ass, wlad is the one with the better resume though.

    Vitali is more badass while Wlad is technically the better fighter with a better resume.

    Troll or an Idiot? Well, doesn't matter. Either way you're a tool.

    PS: Vitali beats Povetkin via Murder

    Wlad has the better resume, but he lost a few times to low-level fighters. Vitali wasnt even knocked down in his entire career.

    Vitali is bigger, tougher and meaner.. And with a more akward style he is a better H2H fighter (atleast in his prime)..

    Wlad is the better technical boxer and at this point would beat Vitali

    Vitali is the better overall boxer and would have pounded Wlad in their primes

    this...

    Wlad is more skilled, fluid, the better boxer...

    Vitali is tougher, stronger and the better fighter, he is a born fighter...

    Prime for Prime Vitali KO's Wlad in 6...

    funny I see Vitali as Wlad's bodyguard - any big puncher and Vitali handles it.


    Vitali is the better all round fighter and if not for age / injuries he would be the ring champion with Wlad in the shadows.

    imo, Vitali takes a back seat for his brother cause he knows long term it makes more sense.

    At this point in time I'd say Wlad, but I think the Vitali who fought Lewis would likely beat this version of Wlad.

    The Vitali who fought Lewis was a much substandard version. That night he was just hell bent in knocking Lewis ASAP. He is much better when he sticks to his usual approach of wearing his opponents down without getting hit.

    Agreed... I dont think it is a coincidence that they gave briggs and solis to Vitali... Vitali was also the man to clean up for Wlad when he lost to Sanders.. And if Wlad losses to Haye, Vitali will be on a revenge mission for sure.. But hey.. That is how older bros are, right? :D
