Vitali or wlad who's better?

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Again...

If they fight (and I'm sure they have sparred...)

Vitaly wins!

but based on talent and skills Wlad is still a better boxer.

Yeah it does seem as if people have forgot about what Vitali is capable of, the guys skills may not be as good as Wlad's but just about every other aspect is, his heart, his chin, his right hand, his strength, his stamina.... Im almost 93% sure that if Vitali was still around he would have to vacate a belt just for his little brother to eat off! Also have any of you noticed Wlad's new found invinciblity didnt come into play until after his brother retired, so dont attribute his recent victories to just Wlad and Manny, but the other guy who was there giving pointers sparring and basically building his brother into a more skilled but less versatile fighter then himself!

true

if vitali had stayed fit after lennox's retirement i think he woould have unified the belts a long time ago and woul be pretty much unbeatable, the only fighter with a chance of beatin him bein his kid brother who hed never fight

if theyve got any younger brothers i ****in pity the poor ****s who tried to bully them - 'i'll get my brothers onto you' 'yeah, right...'

[DiegoFuego]

Uh easily Vitali

[amagnin]

I tend to go with Vitali on this debate. He only lost twice in his career...once due to injury while he was battering Chis Byrd and once to Lennox Lewis when he was leading on all scorecards. While he never really beat anybody to get all too excited about, he did fare very nicely against this era's best HW (whether you like him or not) although it was on short notice. In conclusion, while Vitali has fought less competition he also KO'd Corrie Sanders, and never got caught by a Lamon Brewster or Ross Puritty. I guess Wladimir has a better chance to prove me wrong since I see his future as brighter than Vitali who I will never be convinced can make it through a year without some injury.

Vitali is better...and he's not so inferior skill wise either. Vitali is obviously tougher and can take a better punch, but he also understands when to make a fight of it. Wlad is all about squeezing every ounce of advantage out of his natural size.

Vitali will always be the more entertaining one and he'll always get more respect out of me.

[Mishra100]

I think Vitali has underrated defense... He looks like a giant Quintana in the ring.

Vitali is "better" than Wlad but Wlad has a more impressive career because he has the "lose and get better from it" tacked on to his resume. People really look up to that quality.

[PBDS]

....Wlad is the better natural talent, has the better offensive skills, and more raw power. Vit is the better defensive fighter, with the better chin. My pick is Wlad by a tick unless it's Vitali seeking revenge for his brother.

...They did spar for a while and they stopped because they hurt each other multiple times.

[realheavyhands]

why are you briging up fights that happened years ago? were talking the wlad of 2007 who uses his jab much better and moves and ties up. anyway,,he was soley and offensive fighter back then and fought at just one pace

i was speaking soley career wise at this point.. i just think vitali is better.. what he did to danny williams and kirk johnson was amazing to me ... hes not only better defensively hes bigger 6'8 250 .. hes a giant that even knows how to roll his shoulder even tho it looks slow.. and he has a vicious 1 2

Vitali hits harder and has a harder chin.
