    I like both K bros, but the way Wlad fought Povetkin was on a more extreme level of his usual style.

    I don't think Vitali would have ever fought like this. Wlad may hit harder than Vitali, be stronger, athletic and defensively sound. But Vitali is the better fighter.

    Better chin, more awkward, easier to clock but hits back on the counter.

    h2h I think most can make the case that Vitali is better than his kid brother.

    Always though Vitali beats Wlad h2h, and barring injury beats all of Wlad's résumé more impressively than his brother.

    H2H Vitali clearly the better of the two.
    Legacy wise, it's all Wladdo.

    Vitali should hold all the belts. Wlad doesn't deserve them. 2 times he had to step in for Wlad and avenge his losses for him and Wlad only rematched Brewster when he was in retirment.

    Vitali also beat Peter without a single clinch or foul.

    My only problem with Vitali over the last few years is him fighting unrankers and having the Charr fight waved off without his corner having a look in.

    Wlad flushed his legacy down the pipe last Saturday. A fighter of no class or valor like Wlad will ever be seen as an all time great.

    Yes. Vitali has always been more natural and Wlad mechanical.

    He'll yeah Vitali is better. Vitali would never fight that way against a Povetkin type fighter.

    Wlad has been doing this for years. He avoids punchers while Vitali them. Vitali has a jab, and uses his jab. Wlad won't use his jab if his opponent can fight. He will resort to MMA tactics because deep down he's a true *****.

    Amen. I wont say never or ever... But that disgrace of a fight won't ever get called a boxing lesson by me or any sane fan.

    I dont understand why Wladimir legacy is better?

    In my eyes its always been Vitali by far.
    First off all he was never ever KNOCKED down. Two of his losses came because of injuries.

    he had a great fight against Lewis he got the better of him probably Lewis could have won because of the arcade but apart from that he was getting hammered by Vitaly.

    Vitaly for me is a beast in HW. too bad injuries limited him to less titles. I would like for him to fight Haye before retiring to prove a point.

    Btw He also took Chisora with one hand which was impressive

    It's difficult to say because they divide up opponents, I can't think of anyone they both defeated other than Peter off the top of my head.
