I am a great boxing fan from Wladimir Klitschko since 1996 but i am only in love with my husband for 27 years! And i say Vitali is overrated and Wladimir much underrated. Wlad is the much better boxer and he would win against Vitali. In 1997 i went with my grandpa to Aachen because he wants to show me the heavyweight sensation Wladimir Klitschko. It was great. But my grandpa said, this guy should work with an american professional coach, not with this amateur coach Sdunek. Unfortunaly Wlad waist some time with Sdunek so that he could use his potential a little bit late in his career. He worked with Don Turner very well (fight against Monroe II) and Tommy Brooks (fight against Ray Mercer) but unforntunaly this coaches leaves Wlad and he workd again with Sdunek until Wlads desaster against Sanders and Brewster. Sdunek changes Wlad´s style so Wlad stands more in the ring, he did not move very well and his quickness was gone. Than Wlad changes forever to Steward and now he becomes a real good professional boxer. Unfortunaly Wlad and Steward had a hard beginning but they stay together and nobody could stop them. That was the best for Wlad and his career.
Wlad could never defeat Vitaly. Cause this would be a fight. Wlad is not a fighter, he´s a boxer. As long as he can keep the opponent at bay, he does look good, but as soon as someone is able to make it a fight, he looks like crap. He can´t deal with pressure. Tony Thompson, who has no pop in his fist, who looks very ordinary, who is very slow, was able to give Wlad some problems just due to his size and reach. Vitaly has the same size, is much faster, has much more power, a great chin + an awkward style. No way Wlad would defeat him. He´s number 2 after Vitaly, face it !
If they were to fight now i'd pick Wlad, prime for prime harder to call. Wlad has more one punch power, Vitali has a better chin and in my observations a more even 2 handed attack where he can throw alot of short accurate punches with either hand with very respectable power considering the nature of his punching technique (which I believe to be very efficient and deceptive).
Nonsense. You are right Wladimir is a boxer and therefore he will outbox Vitali, Vitali is to slow, everybody goes down, nobody has an ironchin, vitali cann`t see the fast punches of his brother. :bbb Wladimir is the real Number 1 !!
Vitali vs. Lewis was one of the most exciting HWT title fights ever. Too bad it didn't finish, it might have eclipsed Zaire, Dempsey-Firpo, Bowe-Holyfield. Vitali is one of the all time great HWT champs, without question.
So Vitali doesn't train with an American coach, and therefore Wladimir is better? :roll: Wladimir is the better boxer, but Vitali is the better and tougher fighter. Vitali >Wladimir
Thompson was much slower than Vitaly is, nevertheless he was able to land on your incubus. Vitaly has much more power than Thompson, he is even bigger, almost has the same reach. Not even Lennox was able to outbox him. So your incubus could do it ? As for the fast punches, Vitaly was able to deal with Sanders handspeed, so he does not have to fear your incubus´ hands, they aren´t quicker than Corries. Vitaly wins this hands down. He´s number one.
Totaly agree. Wladimir is too fast for his brother. Wlad would win by late TKO or UD. No doubt about it.
No way, Vitaly is just better in almost everything. Wlad is not a fighter, he´s just running and hugging all night. Very similar to Akinwande, just with a bit more pop in his fists. Vitaly´s too smart, too tough, too good for Wlad. Your incubus can´t take a punch, even Steve Panell !!!was able to drop him.
It's very hard to say who is better Wladimir or Vitali, we will never know the answer. Both are awesome and distinctly unique fighting machines.
Wladimir can take a punch. He never was counted out in his career. Every time he gets up. In the beginning of his career he did not learn how to take a punch and how to react when hurt. He won olympic gold and he had 56 professional fights. He moves pretty well, acurate punching, great power, great footwork. Very good offensive and defensive style and since he works with Emanuel Steward very great ring generalship. Superior Jab and and left hook. Great right hand. Wladimir is the best Heavyweight Champion since Lennox Lewis reitred. Every fighter can be dropped. Chagaev never was on the canvas in his career and Wlad knocks him down in the secound round.
