    The two who've been the best of a bad lot since Lennox Lewis retired.

    Wlad comfortably beats him on points I think.

    he couldn't stop him and go to war the way lewis did. I don't think he'd beat him on the inside the way byrd did neither.

    I do think he'd fight a very much backfoot fight keepin vitali on the end of his jab and provided he remains composed and fit there's no reason to think vitali could beat him imo.

    Obviously at HW one punch can change anything but if I was to stick a fiver on it, I'd go wlad UD.

    Vitali by TKO. Taking out the brother element I think Vitali just had too good a chin, had good power back then and it's not like he has no skills himself. Vitali has an awkward style to deal with, and while I think Wlad could comfortable outbox many ATGs over a fight I don't see him pulling it off with Vit. I think the ref would have to step in after Wlad gets badly hurt or put down a couple of times. Fascinating fight though

    I consider Lewis the best head to head fighter of all time but I reckon Wlad would do better against him than he would with prime VK

    Wlad by a very cautious UD.

    Very hard fight to call. I guess in a fight this close i'd go for the more natural fighter, but there's no money going down.

    In the lab that is. If the two brothers actually fought I have almost no doubt Vitali would win. He'd do the necessary. He's a *******. Wlad doesn't have that kind of thing in him I don't think.

    VK because he's the big brother. Too much of a psychological advantage. If they were unrelated, then I'd go with Wlad by cautious UD, although there's a good chance Vitali's pressure gets to him.
