Why? Wladimir fights better opponents. Wladimir has defeated Sultan Ibragimov, Rusland Chagaev, David Haye. Wladimir also defeated Chris Byrd who defeated Vitali. And Vitali never defeated any great opponents, he did fight Lennox Lewis and it could have been a GREAT win, but yeah... TKO6... Lennox Lewis raped his head. Wladimir also have more belts. Wladimir is clearly better.
Vitali is made of tougher stuff, he can take a good shot, he takes more risks, he has far more heart and has bigger knackers.
Why? Wlad showed worse results against common oponents Ross Purity, Corrie Sanders, even Sam Peter. Chris Byrd was fighting an injured Vitali and still was dominated up to the point when Vitali quit so its hard to rate that fight.
Whats wrong with his resume? He fought plenty of capable fighters in their prime unlike Wlad recently. Not Vitali's fault there were few belt holders when he returned. Yeah Wlads boxrec looks pretier but it doesnt tell the full story, does it?
Only problem with your post is h2h Vit would have him on ***** street in two rounds and out of there in three.
No. Vitali is far tougher than Wlad he can take much bigger shots without going down, his offense is more unpredictable and harder to defend, his workrate is higher and his defense is better...
I don't know. Prime 2004 Vitali Klitschko would be tough for anyone; hard to hit, punches from many angles, incredible workrate for a huge guy, granite chin. A tough fight, indeed. But 2010 Wlad Klitschko is master in his art. Defensive, methodic, regular, hard to hit. I think technique and science beat agressiveness.

Wladimir has a much, much better resume. If you guys say that Vitali is better than Wlad because he has fewer losses, then I am also better than Wlad.
