I haven't seen this one done in a while. Let's pretend they are not brothers. Who wins, both men at their best? Wladimir seems to be the better technician but Vitali is slightly bigger and definitely more durable. Vitali was never down and never behind on points in a fight, he did lose two fights by TKO though (shoulder injury and cuts). Both men are strong, both have good power. I think Vitali takes it by late round stoppage. Sometimes it comes down to who can giveth and taketh better... and that man is Vitali.
Wlad by late stoppage. There is a reason why he had a better carreer and beat better fighters. Vitali is more durable and a good puncher. But Wlad has, contrary to what some people seem to believe, faced and beaten good punchers before. He is faster, a better technician and a harder puncher. This fight will be fought on the outside, and I think Wlad will land more often and harder. Vitali has a great chin, but he is also more of a warrior and I doubt he would run and fight defensively against his younger brother, too much pride. He will come forward and that will play into Wlads hands, he will be able to land that massive right hand of his. It all depends on how much stock you put in the Fury fight I guess. In my opinion Wlad is shot to pieces and would have beaten Fury had they fought in his prime. But if you think Fury would always have beaten him, then a bigger good mover like Vitali should do be able to do it to.
Yeah I think he is shot to pieces, go watch the fight against Mercer. Although he was fighting someone past it he looked dynamite. Now would that fighter still have struggled with someone the size and ability of Fury I do not know.
I certainly don't think Fury beat Wlad at his best but I do think that Vitali could manage to beat his little brother in an epic battle. The fight would be close, maybe Wlad would even be ahead at the time of stoppage.
Fair enough, Vitali was tougher than his little brother. I have no problem with people picking him. But the way I see it, if toughness and durability was all there was, Vitali would have gone down as the dominant champ of the past era instead of Wlad. But it isn't and he didn't.
Vitali lost the best years of his life, not lucky and did not get the rematch with Lewis, I think he was the better man but Vlad had the better career. Head to Head I think Vitali was better than any version of Fury so I think he would beat Vlad but could also lose a decision
