I disagree because vitali has never had a period of dominance like wlad is experiencing right now. He was on top for a year or so. Wlad has been on top for 6 years running now.
A win over a man who shouldn't by all rights be in the division doesn't put him above Wlad resume-wise.
Ring magazine rank wlad as number 1 heavyweight but i always feel even at 40 years old that vitali is the better fighter then wlad.
You really dont want to agree with me huh? I think Vitali would have beat all of wlad opponents yes even bryd if vitali wasn't injured like his first fight. I just feel if vitali vs wlad shocklingly happen and they fight seriously, i think vitali would win by tko cause he'll throw more punches from the arkward style and he has the far better chin and he's taller.
I rated Vitali above Wlad, more heart killer instinct, and h2h Vitali would cause more problems against any former champion and prime vs prime Vitali beats Wlad no technicaly but brakes him down dirty style with that heart and amazing chin, i seriously can not see Wlad win against prime Vitali!!!
You don't make a point I agree with. Vitali might also beat all of joe louis's opponents but is he as great? Hell no. Vitali didn't beat the opponents wlad did. However with talk of wlad fighting jmm next whilst vitali fights haye, I think the recent gap closes. Atg wise vitali will probably never overtake his brother. Next year in the rankings he just might.
