    than Wladimir and as a result more marketable. HBO is now promoting him to American audiences as "the champion" instead and will feature him over his brother.

    Is there a more exciting HW, fighting today, than Vitali Klitschko? I don't think so. Vitali is MUCH MUCH more exciting than Wladimir. You're not giving the man enough credit IMO.

    I don't find the man boring at all. He's had forty fights and only one went the distance. What the hell is boring about him? The creatively punishing performances he turns in over and over and over? Are you tired of seeing him dominate fighters?

    good to know. in all honesty, i am a fan of both, but do enjoy vitali's fights more. he's more aggressive and the pace is faster.

    I think the only fight I've seen of Vitali's that I could call boring is the Gomez fight, and that was more because of a horrible clash of styles and Gomez than Vitali being negative or boring.

    I prefer watching Wlad. He looks far more fluid than Vitali. Vitali although effective, has an awkward style that's not at all pleasing to the eye.

    I dont really see whats so special about him, as soon as he comes up against a true Heavyweight who can box, he'll be exposed. I mean he went life and death with Gomes, who looked like a chubby cup cake eating fat kid next to him.

    What fight were you watching? He won every round but the first and scored 3 knockdowns. Is that life and death to you? :rofl:patsch

    He struggled in the first, and looked badly fatigued after the sixth, sounds like life and death to me, especially considering he was fighting the head of the local Troupe of weight watchers.

    One things for certain - Wlad would have beaten Gomez easier than Vitali did.

    Not that Vitali had any REAL trouble with Gomez.

    I'm a big fan of both brothers, and I agree that Wlad would have had an easier time with Gomez...same with Arreola. But like you said, not that Vitali had any real trouble.

    It depends what you like. Vitali is not a one-punch fighter, so he tends to win wars of attrition...gradually wearing other fighters down. In his next fight, it'll probably take him 7 or more round to KO Johnson, just as it did with Gomez. By comparision, imho, Wlad would knock both men out much sooner. He may be more cautious, but he punches much harder than Vitali does. Sorry, but watching the shots that Arreola took against Vitali without ever hitting the canvas convinced me of thise. There is no way in Hades Arreola could have taken that number of clean shot from Wlad. Not a chance.
