Which Klitschko had the higher Ring IQ?

Wlad slightly, mainly because he was more vulnerable and had to be smarter when fighting people. That said, his last outing was poor but did age catch up, probably.

 

The quit job he did against Chris Byrd was a smart move.

 

Definitely Vitali. Vlad goes through the same pre programmed movement patterns in all his fights, regardless if it's working or not. He's never really shown the ability to think or adapt in a fight, a good example being against Fury where he held and leaned on in close quarters instead of throwing punches even when he was clearly well down on points.

 

He didn't quit against Lewis with half his face ripped apart but will quit against Fury?. Ignorant fool.

 

Vitali. Wlad at times needed his corner for advise.

 

Bah. Who looked better vs Sanders, Peter and Purity? Vitali all the way.

 

Enough to cut his face.

He would have lost it on cuts if he opened up more.

Fury>Wladimir>Vitali

 

Vitali was kicked off the Olympic team.. prolly good idea though.. Wlad was weight drained at 200lbs.. couldn't even medal in the WC..

Vitali is the real SHW..

 

It just woulda been a different Klitschko who won gold.. a slightly better one..

 

Vitali had the Higher ring IQ by a long way.

Never beaten in the ring by a man.

Beaten by injuries.

A true monster of a HW, as aggressive as anything and very heavy handed with a real mean streak. I would have loved Vitali to have fought more...but there you go.

Wlad earlier in his career was knocked down and knocked out a few times. He was no where near as aggressive as Vitali and had to force the aggression. When Fury played around with him- he did not know WTF was happening.
