Vitali early years but last few years IMO Wlad has got his style in order and he will stop Haye to take the top spot once and for all :deal
Wlad has more power Wlad is more athletic Wlad has a better jab Wlad has a better resume Vitali has a better chin Vitali has much better stamina Vitali is more awkward Wlad is a better champion and will rank much higher than Vitali. Vitali is likely the better h2h fighter, but unfortuneately was plagued by injuries and lost the biggest fights in his life. Wlad on the other hand has won all his big fights. Advantage Wlad
I do not say that! But Vitali does overprotect his brother and he does not help him when he wants to work with Steward. Parents love the children but you have to give your children the chance to become adult people, make own falts and so on. That is what i mean. To protect children too much means you do not give them the chance to make the own experience. This has nothing to do with hate. In this case Vitali behaves like a mother who wants to overprotect his son! This is my opinion. I do not know why he acts like this. Look at the Chambers fight, how Steward reacts and what Vitali wants. IMO one of Wlad´s best fights with Steward is Castillo, no Vitali in the corner, only Emanuel Steward who knows what Wlad can do and what not and Steward does not overprotect Wladimir. In the darkest hours of his career, Vitali does not help his brother, it was Emanuel Steward who helps Wladimir to grow up and to become Champion again. In 2005 Vitali retired forever (so he becomes Emeritus Champion) and Wladimir was alone. He grows up again and when he was Champion again, Vitali comes back.... To overprotect your brother or your children, can be the same as paternalism! Once and for all i do not hate Vitali. But i have my own opinion on the two brothers. For me the Klitschko brothers are different persons, with very different characters. I am a Fan of Wladimir Klitschko.
VK: Chin Stamina Fighting Ability Workrate Durability WALDO: Power Boxing Ability Jab Hugging Ability
Wlad has better: Technique Footwork Conditioning One punch KO power Jab, Cross, Hook, Uppercut Resume Trainer Vitali has better: Chin Work rate Pressure style, leads to TKOs by punch accumulation Overhand right Quicker reflexes Less predictable due to herky jerky awkward, hands down defense Counter punching
If it wasn't for Vitaly we would never hear of Wlad. He drag him into boxing and helped him to get back after loses.
You have your own opinion, you are a fan of Wlad and you think he is better than Vitali fair enough, but still show me any proof that Vitali refused to let Wlad do his rematch against Sanders and where he is working against Wlad in the corner by "overprotecting" him? For the question who is better in my opinion Wlad is the more athlete boxer, and Vitali being the better natural fighter, but the mentality of the two brothers make the difference as Vitali does not fear his opponents. While Steward needs to tell Wlad what to do next, Sdunek just needs to motivate Vitali. Wlad has the better resume though.
Sdunek can not tell what to do because he does not know it. Question: Vitali does not fear his opponents whereas in your opinion Wlad does. So why do you think it? Vitali never wants to rematch Byrd for example. Vitali fought against Lewis much better after the fight was stopped than during the fight. Vitali was cut very badly in round 3 from punches!!! It was obvious that the fight will be stopped in 2 or 3 rounds. But Vitali does not go after Lewis like Hagler does against Hearns. Vitali went after Lewis after the fight was stopped not during the fight. IMO the mythos of the better fighter is not more than a "mythos". I know that Wladimir wants the Sanders rematch from a russian trainer who was closed to Universum. Wladimir grows up after he tells his brother to be not part of the training camp. And this shows to me that it is difficult for a trainer to work with Wladimir when Vitali is part of the team. He cannot let Wlad do his own game and i call this overprotection. For example he does not want Wladimir to go for the KO against Chambers. He told Wlad not to listen to Steward after Manny tells Wlad to go for the knockout. I call this overprotection! It was obvious that Chambers could not hurt Wlad so Manny gave the right advice at the right time!
Vitali schools Wlad and KO him inside 8 rounds! :deal This content is protected Lewis picks Vitali as being better than Wladimir “Well, obviously the older one [Vitali] is always the better one, I say. Plus, he’s the most awkward in my books. He’s very long and lanky, and you know he uses that long reach and his height very well. He also throws a good combination punching, and he knows how to keep you off balance, so definitely Vitali.”
