Do they? I'm not being sarcastic. Just curious.

It was said that the beatings Jerry Quarry used to give his elder brother Mike in their sparring sessions were sickening to watch.

Wlads a great boxer, but he's not a great fighter. Vitali is the opposite of that. I personally feel Vitali is the better of the two, and would come out on top, wether it's a street fight or in a boxing ring.

FAN-tastic. To say this is a dream-fight is an understatement. Hope it happens!!

and Vitali's head movement is 100 times more tricky than Wlad's. And he uses angles much better and can throw a bigger variety of combinations.

They would both fight to a draw.

yeah, apparently they go hard and some of the session are ferocious and extremely competitive, they used to spar regularly in their younger day's but have cut back on it lately. I suspect they already know who would win

they should make it happen and choreograph the whole thing complete with fake knockdowns and everything.....the whole shabang

nervousxtian · Jun 6, 2009

If it happened, I bet they'd actually fight.

**** brotherly love.. if my brother is in the ring with me, I'm gonna KTFO of him.

Vitali would win by KO. Let's make it happen!

Do you have a source for that?
My ,admittedly ,unreliable sources tell me that Vitali and Wlad haven't had any heavy sparring sessions with each other,since their teenage years.

It won't happen.

Even if it did, it could be real dull as understandably they may hold back.

Yes, it won't happen, and if it did, regardless of what he says now, they wouldn't really try to take the other out.

I think he tossed this out there as a mere *what if* but its not happening, in my opinion.

who wants to see 12 rounds of pawing and feinting?

count me in

tbh, I've never seen a Vitali Klitscko fight that I didn't like.

If Vitali and Wladimir fought it would be a war. I don't think either man would quit or be counted out, there's too much pride on the line.

Boxing: Klitschko 'to fight brother' as Haye goes to back of queue

Family tear-up now on the cards but Londoner's big title chance has gone

'I am the better technical boxer but he is the stronger of the two. It would be interesting,' says Wladimir Klitschko (above) of his sibling rival Vitaly

Going is a breathtakingly picturesque village nestling in the Austrian Alps straight out of the Sound of Music. But the sound that emanated from the lips of Wladimir Klitschko in his five-star Tyrolean training camp one sunny evening last week would have had Julie Andrews covering her ears. The giant Ukrainian is eloquent in four languages but when he heard David Haye had pulled out of their scheduled world heavyweight title fight in Gelsenkirchen on 20 June, his one-word reaction was common to all of them. "****!" he snapped.
The timing was as dramatic as the Alpine backdrop, for as Klitschko's German promoter, Bernd Boente, broke the news after taking a telephone call from Haye's training base in Cyprus, the 6ft 7in Klitschko was making the mind-boggling revelation that there is now a possibility he could fight his even bigger brother Vitaly to finally unite the heavyweight division. In the past the Klitschkos have always maintained they would never meet in the ring "because our mother would go crazy".
But Wladimir now tells us: "We are going to talk to our mother again because we know how much interest such a fight would create and it would mean that one of us would be the supreme heavyweight champion. Of course she would not be happy and if we did fight I would be very worried about the health of my brother because it would be very bloody and very bad. We are very competitive and it would be for real. There would be no fix."
Who would win? Wladimir thought long and hard. "I am the better technical boxer but he is the stronger of the two. It would be interesting." Indeed. In the past, the brothers used to spar regularly but they no longer do so because the sessions became too fierce. Outside the ring, they are immensely loyal, exuding brotherly love and mutual support, each working in the other's corner when they fight. Intellectually and physically, if not fistically, (Wladimir has the bigger punch but the weaker chin) they are alike.
The sons of a former Soviet air force colonel, they have rarely been separated in their adult lives, both turning professional in 1996 after Wladimir had won an Olympic gold medal in Atlanta. Both are multi-lingual and hold doctorates in sports science and philosophy from the University of Kiev. As Wladimir, 33, admits, the 37-year-old Vitaly, who is a couple of inches taller, is the stronger and more accomplished, holding the more authentic WBC version of the heavyweight championship, while Wladimir has the lesser-regarded WBO, IBF and IBO belts he was due to defend against Haye. He is an engagingly witty man with a ready smile but his genial features darkened thunderously when he was told the Londoner had cried off he looked for a moment as if he had already been stunned by the promised Hayemaker. Whether or not this would have happened before a 60,000 crowd at the FC Schalke stadium, we might never know, because there is now little doubt that Haye, who had asked for a three-week postponement while he has "aggressive physiotherapy" on a back injury, is now on the back-burner as far as Klitschko is concerned.
The Ukrainian has scant regard for the cocky cruiserweight champion, in the ring or out, and it seems he is more likely to go ahead on 20 June against the Uzbek Ruslan Chagaev the WBA champion who, by one of those odd quirks of boxing fate, is suddenly available after his own fight with another gargantuan heavyweight, Nikolay Valuev, the Russian seven-footer, was called off 24 hours beforehand in Helsinki last weekend when his blood test showed a mild form of hepatitis. Apparently he has been passed fit by the German Boxing Federation. Then Klitschko must make a mandatory defence against another Russian, Alexander Povetkin, in September, so Haye has to return to the back of a long queue of contenders.
To add insult to Haye's injury he has had his knuckles rapped by the British Boxing Board of Control for the tasteless episode in the build-up to the fight when he wore a T-shirt displaying the decapitated heads of the Klitschko brothers and labelled Wladimir "Bitchko". The Board who acted quickly to heavily fine and impose a four-month suspension on another British heavyweight, Derek Chisora, after an ear-biting incident in his last fight warned Haye he faces disciplinary action if such incidents are repeated.
Soon after the bombshell hit the mountainside retreat, the hills were alive with the sound of rumour that Haye's withdrawal may have something do with the financial troubles of Setanta, who were due to screen the fight exclusively and were underwriting his £950,000 purse. All vehemently denied of course. And a couple of hours in Wladimir's company convinces you Haye may have been stepping out of his league and in backing out, so to speak, has done himself a favour. There's been a lot going on in Going, but as for the Hayemaker it seems his big chance has gone.
