    I can see this Larry giving them trouble until mid rounds then both take over and win on points. Larry V Vitali could be close on the scorecards

    Yes, I hear you and have bitched plenty about the same thing. It's almost bizarre considering one is a dead-on textbook boxing conservative fighter and one is a legitimate oddball volume puncher. :conf It's like going "Lewis and Bowe VS Holmes" or "How would Ricardo Lopez and Ivan Calderon do against..."

    Their skillset and styles are about as different as 2 HW's can be. In almost every thread they are listed as if they are synonomous with one another. As if you can beat one of them you automatically can beat the other or vice versa...I just don't get it!

    Larry of 1992?? He loses to the Klitchkos by late round knockouts. I give him a little chance if his right hand can land on Vlad's chin, but not against Vitali.

    The Klitschkos are a package deal, it seems in most fantasy matchups...

    I will separate them:

    I see Wlad being too tentative to do anything but come up short on the cards by Larry's higher output and aggression.

    I see Vitali a taller order based on his willingness to mix it up and throw more punches. Probably loses a decision because of Larry's straighter punches and movement.

    I think Holmes would lose nearly every round to both of them.

    Exactly, Wlad & Vitali have very different styles. :deal
