Vitali was tougher although he peaked earlier due to his injuries and lay off. Possible Wlad would have beaten his brother at the point he retired in 2012.
I'm also of the opinion that Vitali ought to be favoured head to head simply due to his insane toughness. On the other hand, Wlad hit harder and had a better system of fighting.
Vitali lost nine rounds. Wladimir is still a great boxer though, certainly one of the best, and beat better opponents than his brother. Wladimir only lost on the cards when he was near forty, a age the majority of boxers are getting slapped around be c level opponents, or retired.
Sanders had him down and Lewis exploited his terrible guard, defence and facial bones/skin against real competition. Those were the only great fights he had. Other than that a rather weak resume just like Wilder.
My man Sanders Really? Tell me more about this fight Wlad had with Lewis. Somehow, I missed it. No. Just, no.
Well that baseless argument sure helpshsupport your desired reality but sorry no it wasn't. Not by a Longshot.
Ray Mercer said Wlad hits harder than Lennox. Any man that hits harder than Lewis is a man to be feared.
Tyson ruled over a division of modern day cruiser weights and fighters with drug addictions. Just because they happened to be Americans does not equate to a better era. Your initial post on Wlad ruling over the weakest era in history is in fact baseless, I just provided a weaker era as a example. There are more weaker eras in the echelon of heavyweight boxing history.
Agreed, that's why hes all time, hes in with a very select few Yep, the class and iq would show its head with a flash knockdown then a ko later, he would've closed the show as you say at 35 a few rounds later with AJ than what we seen, it would be reversal Great legs, and for his size could bounce as good as any heavy when he moved
In certain match ups, yes I would agree, but Wlad sparks cold the same fighter Vitali has to beatdown, far more skilled, Vitali was just like a monster, unbreakable with good skills himself and tough as anyone but Wlad was an offensive genius if he chose
Lol@ modern era cruiserweights. Wlads best win is povetkin who is smaller than many of Tyson's opponents and was never even a champion You didn't provide anything accept an opinion. I provided mine which is in line with the majority of boxing fans. Your opinion is aligned with delusional Europeans that are desperately trying to fluff up the modern heabtweight era because it's the only time theyve ever seen any success
No yours was infact to an opinion to. Are you saying that the 20’s/30’s/40’s/50’s where better eras than Wlads? Povetkin would have been by far Tyson’s best win in the 80’s as wouldChagaev and Ibragimov. Hell Byrd would have been top 3 at any time. You are holding on to the Black/American heavyweight “theme” a little too much. Now tell me how I’m wrong.
