    Hard to bet against Vitali in this one. He just has the better jaw and fighting mentality which young Klitschko does not.

    Vitali has a better chin and killer instinct, but is way more injury prone, something that has damaged his career severely.

    Wladimir has better technical skills and equal power, but due to his weak chin, he doesn't have the killer instinct his older brother has. But this makes him fight more cautiously, he thinks defence first and he's harder to hit.

    Overall, I'd say Vitali by a nose. And btw that was my opinion before the Sam Peter fight.

    Yep, and coming back after four years of injuries to dominate a man that knocked his brother down three times surely helps to cement that pick.

    Vitali was always better than Wlad. He does EVERYTHING better than Wlad. They say Wlad has more power. It looks that way, but who has the better ko ratio? Vitali is the true heavyweight champion. Wlad has to take a back seat to his big bro.

    The big difference between them is obviously chin and durability, an area that Vitaly has a clear advantage in. It's because of this he's able to fight with his hands low, which in turn gives him more offensive options. He can be far more aggressive than his brother as he doesn't really have to worry about what comes back in return. Wlad may be more technically sound, but you don't need to be technically sound to be a great offensive fighter, especially if you have intagibles like Vitaly. I'd say Vitaly also has better stamina of the two, he can keep up a much higher workrate and doesn't gas that badly.

    Overall I say Vitaly is the better of the two.

    Vitali, easily. Whilst Wlad has more power in both fists, and is faster with his punches/more technically sound/puts his weight into his punches, Vitali has the better reflexes, better chin, better defense, better counter-punching ability, and has more of a 'fighter's personality'.

    I definitely think Vitali is more exciting to watch too.

    Vitali. Tonight's fight sealed that deal. Wlad hasn't come close to doing something like what his brother did tonight.
