Lennox Lewis: "Vitali is BETTER than Wladimir"

[Thread Stealer]

Vitali may be the "better" one, but Wlad's resume and achievements are better. Wlad beats way better opposition than his big brother does.

[Steak]

Ive seen complete amateurs like the guy in your avatar nail Wlad. Prime Vitali rarely got hit cleanly. Lennox wouldve taken Wlad out in the 3rd round max. Itd be a cross of Sanders/Wlad and Lennox/Golota: Massacre.



Wladimir has been down 11 times by journeymen and you have the gumption to say Vitali is the one with the bad defense? Thats just a bad take.

Thats only because Wladimir is less durable than Vitali.

i rate vitali better than wlad also. vitali is also much better to watch. if they ever fought each other id pick vitali by KO. Infact id pick him to KO every heavyweight boxer out there, including haye.

i agree, vitali is better and more fan friendly, he makes fights, while his wlad just is a points fighter.........

after wlads fight with ibragimov forget it, total loss in any interest in what he does, i'd rather shoot myself in the foot and bleed out than to watch wald again/

Who would win in a head to head matchup? Who has the more dominating numbers? Who completely dominated 3 fighters that knocked down his brother at least 8 times? Who took the same counter left from Corrie Sanders in the same exact spot on the chin & didn't have that be the prelude for a KO loss? Simply put....which fighter would we be more shocked if he were to get beaten up & or KTFO? Who's physically & mentally stronger..who's tougher & I don't buy the fact Wlad hits harder just because his one punch outputs is sometimes more deadly than his older brother's.. Vitali relies more on combination punching than Wlad & therefore mixes up how much power he puts in a particular punch he throws. His right hand if he hits you right.. gets the same results ask Lennox.. Hide.. Johnson & Sosnowski... you DON;T want to be hit by a Vitali right when he puts full force behind it. The demise of his power is greatly exaggerated & i have a feeling today...we will see it in all its glory..don't blink.

LL would say that, having fought him, and makes LL look better. But he is better anyway. Im just waiting for Wlad to say it. Why dont Wlad be gentlemanly and say Vitali is better? If anyone can answer that to me, let me know. Thanks

They might have sparred and Wlad got the better of it, but only because Vitali isnt going for the ko. If they fought im sure Wlad would get ko'ed at some point late in the fight.

Overall, looking at the whole picture, Vitali is probably the better fighter.

Wlad has said on several occasions that his big bro was a better fighter, a natural fighter he says

Oh really? I always hear people ssay Vitali said Wlad was better? But Vitali is tougher and meaner and more killer instinct. Wlad is more tecnical i would think and does things more methodically and text book.

Im not sure if Vitali has even been hit 11 times outside of Lennox/Byrd.

Wlad has kissed canvas 11 times and nailed dozens of times more. You have no basis whatsoever to claim Wlad has a better defense.

Ask yourself who gets hit LESS.... Wlad or Vitali?
