Which one is the better fighter?
Both have been the Lineal Heavyweight Champion, both have dominated opponent for years. Wlad seems to get more attention but I pick Vitali as the better brother. Better fighting style, better record,beat better opponents, better fighter overall. If he wouldn't have retired after the Danny Williams fight then Vitali would still be the Lineal Heavyweight Champion of the world and not Wlad. Nothing against Wlad though, he has been dominating for years even though his fights are pretty boring mostly, but winning is winning regardless. Place your vote for better brother.
If I had to choose one man to accompany me through hell, I'd go for Vitali any time. Iron chin, iron will, iron fists, iron heart. Impossible to knock out. Will keep fighting even if half of his face is falling apart. Extremely competitive in any era.
Well Chris Byrd said "Punch power wise, it's Wladmir" and he fought both.
Emmanuel Steward has also said Wlad is one of the hardest hitters in boxing history.
Was not aware of either of those. I can believe Byrd since he fought them both and Steward knows his **** so I could believe that too. If Wlad fought more like Vitali then I bet Wlad would have the higher KO percentage.
Vitali has a higher KO percent.

Technically and punch power wise, Wladimir.
Competitively and legacy wise, Vitali. (therefore, Vitali ist the better one)
Vitali has a higher KO percent.
Though on initial onset when Wlad was being introduced to the American mainstream he was billed as the better more skilled fighter I felt Vitali had more grit was overall the better fighter even to this day…
