Wlad is tougher. He said nothing and he has a broken hand in the Brewster fight. First round! Wlad fought with an injured shoulder against Chagaev and nobody knows it and Wlad said no word. Wlad is the tougher brother. In 2005 it was rough for the bothers. No TV contract, no promoter and than Vitali quit. Retired. If the sun was shining again (TV contract, Wlad was Champion again), big bro wants to fight again.
Wlad can take punches. He won olympic gold, very sucsessful amateur and he never was knocked out as a pro. He took Hayes hardest punch in the 12th round. With Emanuel Stewad Wlad now knows how to react after getting hit. But boxing is not talking punches to be sucsessful over a long time it is better to hit and not to get hit.
his chin is not as bad as people make it out to be. watch the second peter fight. wlad took some peter shots flush and didnt even blink
This thread starter got the same thing as I did after I posted "the Klitschko brothers should retire" last week.:rofl
:good In the first fight too. The knockdowns where a result of rabbit punches not legal punches. On the ropes Wlad took some big shots from Peter in the 10th round. Wlad was tired as hell against Brewster after 4 rounds. He had problems to stand up for the 5th round. But he goes into this round and Brewster could not take him out. He was knocked down (before the punches bad bad tired), but not knocked out. Wlad has a big will and never quit in a fight.
But Wlad was not knocked out. Knocked down but not out. It was TKO. The preparation for this fight was bad, very bad and Wlad underestimate Sanders. And this was not a "mirracle". Everyone thikgs that Sanders had no chance. This fight happen in 2003 and you as a "Sdunek-*****" should better not talk about it.
he still wipes the floor with all of them. joshua isn't even pro yet!!! tyson, price and towers all get kod
To me, as long as vitali is not taking to many shots, he should stick around, one thing about the brothers, with there skills, they go 12 rounds an take less then 10 sold shots to the head, which is were the danger lies. These are guys who work out all year long, they just push themselves more in camp, vitali an wlad are like hopkins in the sence there alway in shape, i think vitali could put a nice legacy in by fighting 8 more times in 4 years, retire when he is 44, he just can't be hit when he doesn't want to, but he does mix it up for the fans, but to me if he just put on clinics like wlad i would be happy, he already proved he can mix it up
