We know they will never fight each other, but they're brothers we can't blame them for that. It's a crime against this sport that we have two fighters as good as Vitali and Wlad and their best competition, or at least the two considered the biggest threats, are Haye and Adamek.
Think about how hyped we were just to see Wlad fight Haye, a guy who isn't very good at heavyweight but had a mix of athleticism and power Wlad hasn't seen in a long time. It's been so long since Wlad has gotten to fight someone even on Haye's level that people actually thought Haye would win.
Vitali's fighting Tomasz Adamek next, and it's the same thing. Adamek's skills are so far beyond most the heavyweights Vitali has ever fought, and because of that people will talk themselves into Adamek winning, but we know he won't. Adamek isn't really a heavyweight, and he won't win, and afterwards people will call him yet another bum Vitali got to fight, just like Haye is now just another bum Wlad fought. At least Vitali got to fight Lennox Lewis though, and is generally considered the better fighter than Wlad because we've seen him in the ring with a great heavyweight.
I really wish someone would come along that would show us just how good these two are. It's unfair to boxing fans and the legacy of both Klitschko brothers that they aren't fighting in a better era. They are two arguably unquestionable ATG heavyweights that will never get that distinction, especially Vitali due to his injuries and time away, which is really unfair.
