I know Wlad will be remembered as one of the greats, can't really say so about Vitali though.

When Wladimir's career is all said and done he will definitely go down as one of the all time greats.

Vitali had the potential to be an all time great, but injuries halted his career.

Wladimir and Vitali are both definitely capable of beating any of the all time greats.

I don't think it's a bold statement.
Wladimir could still go down as a top heavyweight of all time, Vitali could have gone down as a top heavyweight of all time (but so could have many others).

In my opinion Vitali is another Ibeabuchi/Bowe, achievement-wise he has a slightly better record than Ike but not as good as Bowe, as far as potential goes I'd say they were all similar.

Wladimir's weaknesses are obvious but so are his strengths and it's fair to say he could've beaten former, smaller heavyweight champions like Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott and Floyd Patterson.
Is he better than they were pound for pound? Now that is harder to say.

If Wlad keeps beating top opposition (and doesn't lose atleast until he is 40)
I believe he will be ranked as one of the top heavyweights of all time.

For Vitali, the way he comes back against Sam Peter will tell a lot about his greatness as a boxer...

As two of the baddest mother ****ers to ever step in the ring.

Vitali was becoming the man he went down wit injuries and he can't seem to get thru camp without hurtin himself now. He mighta been good while he was around but in the long run people won't think much of him. Wlad has a chance to make a name for himself by unifying the belts but his era is one where the HW division is weak so he won't get much credit either.

I've never been a fan of them.

Wladimir blows hot and cold, he has that upright Eastern-European style, he lacks spark. But he's big and he's in great shape and he has a stiff jab. He's clearly good enough to be known as the best in the post-Lewis era of Heavyweights, but thats an era of poor heavyweights to rival the late 80's to be frank. So it's not such a big deal. Ibragimov was average. He was an ESPN fighter. Klitschko is supposedly a killer HW, he should have took Sultan out in style, instead he pawed and played around for 12 rounds, abandoning his money shot. He's a very athletic kind of HW, but much of the time he doesn't fight like a heavyweight. And he's been knocked out by unheralded fighters.

Vitali is much the same, only more awkward, more in the mould of a come forward wrecking ball, but he's not all-time material. He's just a big, awkward, tough guy. Like Andrew Golota with a chin and some better fundamentals.

Neither of them will go down as all-time greats, lets stop this nonsense.
