Wladdy is younger and may have the slightly better resume, but, no ****ing way is Wladdy any tougher or meaner than his older bro Vitali Klitschko..... I rate V.K. at # 7 on my ATG list mainly because I truly believe he is a great fighter with size, power and durability who can put a serious ass-whuppin' on a mother****er from any era dating back to 1887......... Fighting V.K. is NO walk in the park........ V.K. is great........... Wladdy Klit is around # 13 on my list but, he too, is a great fighter---Just as long as he doesn't get clipped on the jawbone....... Wlad's chin is NOWHERE near that of Vitali's...... BUT! His jab is much better............ Wlad Klit has the BEST jab since Lawrence Holmes' prime days / nights........ V.K. is perhaps the SCARIEST looking champion at heavyweight to ever enter the ring.?.? NO! "Liston & Foreman" were NOT as scary as the hulking and pissed looking Vitali Klitschko.......... At least not to me............ Again, I'm trying to get Hollywood to do an old style remake of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," and I'd love to get V.K. in the lead role as the monster....... Robert DeNiro's 1995 film sucked long pool stick........ MR.BILL
Head to head is a tough call. Supposedly Vitali got the better in sparring, and Wlad would flip out, which is why they eventually had to stop. However, the Stewardized Wlad of the last 5 years beats any version of comeback Vitali IMO...maybe even favor him over any pre-layoff Vitali...
wlad ranks higher. forget his bad chin. hes come back won alot more fights, and has beaten the better of the shittier competition. vitali fights like an awkward giant kid with no balance who is afraid to get hit. wlad is stronger, hits harder. you can stick vitalis misleading ko % up youre ass. i dont think he fought a guy over 6 foot tall and 205 pounds for his first 5 years...
In sparring, it is NOT uncommom for the older bro to intimidate the younger bro...... Especially when both are close in size and age....... Its all psychology on the part of the two bros............. It is a mental blockage that can be broken---IF the younger bro is willing to step-up to the plate and get a grip of his demons.......... Wlad is a better boxer than Vitali, however, Wlad is way behind in mental make-up, willpower and durability to take a shot from hell........ In 2010, I would bet the peaked Wladdy out-boxes older bro Vitali in the ring, but Wlad still isn't the ultimate bad-ass mother his bro Vitali is or has shown in earlier days...... Vitali Klit is a freak of a fighter who scares the **** outta his opponents......... He's a bad mutha'....... MR.BILL
