Definitely Wlad, he's stringing some decent wins together. I feel like he's achieved more than his brother and deserves his props more.
I like both of these fighters and both have different strengths and weaknesses but I prefer Wlad because imo even though Vitali has more of a fighter mentality than Wlad he is not as smart of a fighter as Wlad is and I would bet on Wlad against any of today's heavyweights whereas I can not say the same for Vitali since it is still unknown if he is the same fighter he was a few years ago or if he is all washed up. Wlad is who I prefer but both are entertaining and better than most of the garbage out there.
Where is your proof that Wlad hits harder? You cannot say something without proof. My proof is that Vitali has the higher KO%. Do you have any stats, apart from "watching" the styles.
Tough call. I like them both. If only they weren't brothers and could fight each other. I'd pick Vitali, but Wlad's gotten a lot better. We'll see how Vitali looks this September.
Wlad definitely hits harder, Vitali seems to wear guys down with his punches, he doesn't carry Wladimirs power punch for punch, all all Wlads punches are sharper and heavier, particularly the straight right. Film will always be more reliable than boxrec stats that don't tell the whole story.
Wlad has the better skills BY FAR. Vitali seemed to have the heart and will. If you could put em together?? You would have one hell of a heavyweight. Vitali is way over rated by many, IMO.
