    Wlad has an excellent jab, great power, and an excellent offensive style. Vitali is great defensively, has good power, and has amazing heart. Both are excellent fighters, but don't get the competition they need to get respect. :/

    Now, that's a good question. Personally, I think they are the best boxers of their time. Nobody can beat them and the majority of contenders are afraid to fight with them. And those who dare to fight them end up with a KO. Some people will say that their dominance is due to the lack of great boxers of other times. Agree, but that doesn't change the facts. And the facts say that they have dominated the HW division and their name is written in the history of boxing.
    My opinion for them is negative , BUT for reasons outside of boxing. But, for boxing , I must admit that they are the best. Especially Vitali. I think that he would be great even if the HW division wasn't that bad.

    Both very good fighters who seem like nice guys and always come in shape.

    But.....

    Boring as hell in the ring and because of the terrible competition around will probably never be up there with the greats.
    I find them frustrating to watch. If they are really that good they should be wiping out this terrible division within a few rounds but they are always far too "safety first".

    Also the fact they will never fight each other and provide a unification hurts their legacy. Im not saying I want to see that fight but never the less, it will.

    It is hard not to like KlitschKOs. Outstanding champions and great individuals who give back to the community.

    I really like the brothers.

    +
    Nice guys.
    Always in shape.
    Great power.
    Fight anybody (but that's not strange with their very pover competition).
    Don't trashtalk (Wlad at least until recently).
    Dominate.
    Lot's of KO's or stoppages.

    -
    Boring style until the KO.
    Don't end their opponents the first time they're hurt (take no risks at all).
    Have NO competition at all (Not exactly their fault).

    They're ok, both good fighters. I can't take to them though, not because of they themselves but just reading the nonsense which people who like them a little too much come out with on here. They're good fighters who've beaten ****-poor competition at the end of the day. So they don't rate very highly in terms of achievements as far as I'm concerned. Both good fighters though, as I said.

    I have read this a couple of times recently and i have to say, i find them among the least "nuthugged" fighters on here...especially when you considerthat theyre the dominant champs of the division. I see more hate for them tbh, and far worse nuthuggery for other (imo lesser) fighters.

    Like Wlad, he took steps to unify the division and become the champion, his resumé is also considerable better than Vitali's showing he tooks on the better fighters around. Also, I like the way he has come back from adversity which is what true champs do, he suffered from humilating defeats but he has bounced back, he also got up off the floor everytime trying to fight back, compared to Vitali who quit with 2 rounds to go against a feather-fisted blown-up cruiserweight who couldn't have done anything to win. He is also considerable more skilled.

    Can't think of any myself. Things have toned down a bit, it used to be a lot worse admittedley. I remember a long running thread about how Wlad would definitely ko Muhammad Ali in the first round for example, that was a couple of years ago though.
