Vitali vs Wlad (prime for prime)

Simurgh

I know this thread was around a few times but not recently.

Who do you think would be victorious in this clash?

I would favor Wlad. I think he is overall better fighter. He is faster, better defense and more power. Vitali has much better chin but his defense wouldn't be so effective against big guy with big reach and excellent jab plus great power.

Prior to Sander's fight many have seen Wlad as the better among the two. This reputation was destroyed with those Wlad's defeats. But for me it's remarkable how much Wlad has improved over time and I think he is a completely different fighter than he used to be.

when they were acutally at or around their best i always felt vitali would be the victor.

he's the one with the chin. when top flight HW fight they usually tag each other. the first question i ask is, can fighter X take fighter Y's punches. i don't think wladimir could take vitali's heavy punches. vitali has lost a ton of speed, and his hands are brittle, so he doesn't punch like he used to. he used to be able to really bang.

vitali via knockout.

I'd have to say Vitali.
He's the meaner, tougher, natural fighter, with a granite chin and aggressive, unconventional/awkward style. Wlad wouldn't keep him away.
