      Marquez brothers proved themselves vs. better competition that was identical in size.

      Can't say the same for either Klit. Granted the lack of competition at heavyweight and their natural gargantuan size is out of their control, but it doesn't make them better than they are.

        Ruben, at the risk of bringing up triangle theories, do you think Wlad would have done as well against Lennox Lewis as his brother? I think it's a valid question. The size and style comparisons are close enough. I've seen Wlad flopping around against lesser hitters than Lennox. Frankly, I think the younger K brother might have been out for the count against Lewis with just one good shot. Vitali ate a couple of blows from Lennox that his brother just can't handle. And, let's be honest, has either brother fought a better opponent?
        A prime Vitali may very well beat a prime Wlad and I'd definately favor LL over Wlad but Its obvious whos got the better wins out of the 2 brothers, no?

          Agreed. Wlad has the better scalps on his resume.

                Actually the ref did save Lewis in all honesty, at the very least we know Vitaly retired Lewis even if you dispute who got saved.

                  I think it's close, I rank Juan Ma (altough JuanMa is 0-1-2 against elite level fighters!!) over Wlad and Vitali.
                  But I rank Wlad and Vitali over Rafa.

                  Rafa is good,but honnestly, Rafa and Vazquez made them famous fighting each others 4 times but I'm not convinced about Rafa and Vazquez being elite fighters.

                  The klitschko no matter what they say are elite fighters.

                    Marquez brothers. Rafael with wins on Austin and Johnson with the fights with Vazquez. And then you have Juan which was avoided and showed why we his winning run and his two fights with Pac.

                    The K bros are not to far behind. They are so dominant that they make it look easy in a non-impressive manner.

                      I agree with you 100%
