I've been seeing a lot of Klitschko threads lately.
Let me just pose this question to the group.
IF they weren't brothers, who would be the champ right now?
and
IF they faced each other, who would come out on top (both in their Primes)?
I have to edge it to Vitali. Injuries aside, he seems pretty complete. Great chin, good natural movement, power, smarts. Wlad has come a long way, but I think Vitali would show him a fight he's never seen before.

If they werent bros I think Vitali would be the champ right now. Here is the logic. They would have wound up facing eachother 6 years ago at the latest, but possibly earlier. Vitali would have destroyed Wlad then, and without Vitali to avenge the loss and knowing that he could not beat the bigger and tougher man, Wlad might have retired. This would have deprived boxing fans world wide from seeing the man Wlad would become...The greatest HW boxer of all time.
Your going to cause the Klischko nut huggers' brains to melt!! I'm fulling expecting to see them here any minute short circuiting and predicting a double "Brutal KO" :omfg:
I would think that it would be a intresting fight, Id have to pick Vitali though, due to his defensive skills, we all knw that vitali is a more defensive fighter than wlad, yet vitali's KO percentage is amazing. Id go with viatli by TKO in 9th
