vvlad or vitali?

Probably Vitali because he had a granite chin and Wlad would be scared to trade with him. Boxing wise though, Wlad is a lot better. Dam! We agree on something for once!!

Prime for Prime: Vitali Right Now: Obviously Wladimir Mayweather He wouldn't dare win since Cotto would be there and at the sight of Cotto he would run like the Chicken Gayweather he is.

Wlad was scared into becoming a better defensive fighter than Vitali, but Vitali was a true champion. Wlad has worked on his defense and he is a better, much better boxer than Vitali. Vitali true champion? Who has he beat? He only defend his title against Danny Williams. Wladimirs oponents were all top 10 and he unify. Wlad is the true Champion. He had the much better resume. Wlad would beat Vitali lewislike on cuts.

i think vitali would knock him out

I think overall Wlad is marginally better than vitali... Vitali isnt garbage or anything like that but Wlad is the better boxer, has a FAR SUPERIOR jab...vitali does have a better chin and more aggressive...as the other poster pointed out... but i think wlad would win to be honest... if vitali hadnt had those layoffs and the injuries i think they might be closer overall... I absolutely agree that Wlad would win now, but I think the thread is asking prime for prime. I don't have any doubt Wlad would beat an oft injured Vitali that hasn't fought in 3 and a half years.

Vitali by a KO 2 minutes and 17 seconds in the sixth round.

IMO VItali would have beat Wlad...

Wlad is more athletic, has a better jab, is a better boxer, slightly more power. Vitali has a much better chin, is more aggressive, slight edge in height though their reach is about the same. Heads up, I think Vitali would win. But against everyone else, Wlad would beat more people. Unless Vitali fights again, he will be mostly forgotten (too many years wasted kick boxing and with injuries.) If Wlad fights three more effective years, he'll go down as a top 20 ATG HW, at least.

also he prob would have beaten lewis if his eye hadnt been a mess and thats one hell of a name he would have had on his resume!

Vitali I think.

Wlad is a better boxer but Vitali had a much better chin and probably they had equal(ish) power.
