Vitali Klitschko does not get enough credit, Wlad gets too much

[boxingchef]

vitali gets plenty of attention. But he was out for 4 years... and in that time, his bro became the man.

vitali is a great fighter no doubt,

but wlad has the greater legacy...

You can't get credit when you're always plagued with injuries and retire for years and then do a mediocre comeback.

Seriously why are Klit fans comparing Wald to heavyweight greats. Wlads has wins over crusierweight Castillo, win over Peter where he was knocked down twice, light heavyweight Byrd, bum beater Calvin Borck, 36 year old Austin, beat a Brewster who was coming of a loss in his previous fight, thomson a bum beater, a shot Hashim Rahman, blown up crusierweight eddie chambers.

Only good wins he has are Chagaev and Ibragimov. Wlad still has a lot to prove.

Vitali is the much better brother who has only lost two fights. Against Lewis he did well and who knows what would have happened if he didnt get that cut. Then loss to Byrd due to a torn rotater. Vitali lost nearly 4 of his prime years to injury, comes back and still is the best heavyweight.

Vitali is twice the fighter, Wlad will ever be. Even this version of Vitali hypothetically would destroy Wlad. If you want to compare any Klitschko to Ali, tyson, Frazier etc then compare Vitali as he would be a solid contender in any generation.

Well said. I agree. Green k comin' at ya'.

Until I see how long he can last VS Valuev, I'll hold back on my judgment call on Vitali.

Vitali has the rep of being the harder of the Klits and more exciting. But Wlad is the legit HW champ and has amassed a better resume than Vitali has. At this point Vitali is #2 and should be. Not like that's a bad thing. He's easily just as dominant as Wlad is. But Ring belt>WBC.

vitali's comeback was way better than mediocre... any normal man would have been DONE with all the injuries vitali had. he comes back and looked like he never took a day off. amazing.

In the last 5 fights its possible that he only lost 1 or 2 rounds and stopped 4 of 5 of those opponents.

Sounds better than mediocre to me.
