    wtf is the big deal. anyone here actually have a brother?! i keep seeing people say "itd be so wrong" or "they are family thatd be terrible" bla bla...ARE YALL KIDDING? i got in fights with my brothers up until the day we all moved out...often pretty bloody. now i love my brothers, but that doesnt mean they dont deserve a beating now and again...(im sure me as well). its part of growing up with brothers ur own age.

    and assuming vitali makes it past mccline and eventually gets another belt...to my mind thatd make them the top two fighters at hw. to not fight each other is at the core of the problem with boxing (top fights not being made!). im a big klitschko fan ( of both really), but BOTH OF THEM CANT BE CHAMP!!! thats a contradiction. there is one heavyweight champion. or none at all.

    ...and again, if one of my bro's was standing in my way of being champ...or me them...id expect nothing less than the fight of my life. and id bring it to them.

    That would be ridiculous for them to fight each other because after boxing is done family is all thats left and why hang a cloud of you and your family

    well it boils down to how close your family is or are you willing to have that permanent image of you beating up your brother or vice versa... its good to have a goal, often you'd do almost anything to get it..but beating up family especially ones own brother to be a champ is too much for me..

    i just dont see how they dont have SOME rivalry. like said, my two biggest rivals in the world are my brothers, but we are a team too. it just wouldnt be that big a deal. i certainly dont think itd 'hang a cloud' over anything. the loser should be proud of the winner.

    They seem pretty close so i think its a matter of not wanting to go all out and take the chance of hurting someone you care for......P.S. i think Vitali wins( more heart)

    yeah i can see not wanting to permanately hurt the other. but they are boxers...part of the game is the occasional minor injury. yeah id have to give the edge to big brova. lil bit of a mental thing.

    Yes, I have a younger brother who boxes, and is in the same weight class as me, and is about to enter the seniors. And no, I wouldn't fight him. If we did get matched it would be a joke, neither of us would go full out.

    Maybe in your dysfunctional ass family, but where I come from (a former Soviet republic, same as the Klitschkos) blood is thicker than water.
