Vitali would easily destroy Wlad … because it is determined by birth. Elder bro’ Vitali will always have the psychological advantage.
But, as they say, styles make fights. A technical skilled fighter such as Wlad would whip Juan Carlos Gomez, 3x120-108.
Carlos himself, though, is also more of a boxer than a puncher, and he will get the stiff Vitali in all sorts of trouble when they clash for the latter’s WBC title.
Styles make fights. A trimmed-to-be-not-so-flabby Arreola would pose a severe threat to Wlad, as his punches are (what we’ve learned) hard as hell. However, Arreola facing a bigger and stern puncher like Vitali wouldn’t do him any good. Again, styles make fights.
Wlad should box the shit out of Dimitrenko. However, Dimitrenko possess the qualities to outbox Vitali. Vitali, the heavier and stronger man, would destroy David Haye, while Haye has more than a puncher’s chance against Wlad. Yet again, styles make fights.
is it safe to say that ANY HW (except Zuri Lawrence) has a damn good punchers chance against Wlad?
Most HWs have a punchers chance against Wlad like Oscar had against Manny except that Wlad can take them out with one shot.
