Vitali Klitschko vs Wladimir Klitschko

[LacedUp'sDream]

Their old coach, back where they fought as amateurs in Poland, said the sparred only one time together and it was a bloody war

I'd take no pleasure in watching it,but hell fire it would be an education.

Why not? I think the only person who wouldnt take a pleasure would be their mom, but for a boxing fan its one of the biggest fight ever

Wlad doesn't engage until he's completely comfortable and that would never happen in the ring against Vitali. It would be Wlad scared to death trying to survive before getting stopped.

[titanium]

Vitali by brutal knockout.

[Capaedia]

Both in their primes, Wladimir for me based on hes the better technician.

Hes the better boxer, more defensively responsible, has the edge in experience, better jab, more power, more athletic, better footwork, crisper puncher, faster all round & IMO stronger.

Vitali has a slight edge in size and a better chin, maybe though certainly debatable the mentally tougher of the two.

I think Wlad takes it 8/10 times

I got this too.

At Vitali's optimum range, he'd have the jab in his face. The significant speed advantage would keep that happening all night. He probably wont fight inside, so what can he do?

Fairly simple and surprisingly one-sided. Not least due to Wlads faster and better footwork.

Vitali doesn't dare face opponents who aren't midgets, fatboys or on the slide oldies so lets assume Wlad is one of them, lets assume Wlad is the older brother - that's the only way the fight can happen.


Wlad doesn't dare face anyone who can hit hard and is prime, so lets assume that Vitali is old too and assume that by some miracle he is still the older bro too (totally hypothetical, and impossible but its the only way you will get this fight on).


Thence we got Wlads usual pattern of backing of, running for dear life and clinching until his opponent tires, and Vitali grinding out the fight as best he can with diminutive skills and trusting in his solid chin.

Old Wlad peppers old Vitalis face for a late tko stoppage (30 % likely) or Vitali gets lucky and cracks Wlads egg chin for a KO late on (15 % likely) or the fight slides to an extremely dull draw whereupon the spectators ask for their money back, apart from the germans who hail this as the fight of the millennium.

Wlad and Vitali laugh all the way to the bank at the klitlicking brigade and wonder how life can be so easy to con so few out of so much.

I'd take Vitali, he's the more natural fighter of the two, he'd probably get buzzed because Wlad hits harder but I think he'd be able to take those right hand bombs and dish out his own, he'd break Wlad down round after round before stopping him late.

Sorry, I voted in the poll to quickly without reading the part about both being in their prime. I voted for Wlad because I think he would win a fight now. If both were in their primes then I think Vitali would win.

[Cutthroat]

Don't know how anyone can vote Wlad after seeing his glass chin over and over and over again. You guys actually think he can avoid getting hit for 12 rounds? No way in hell that happens, he WILL get hit and when he gets hit he's going down or into pure survival mode. Vitali doesn't possess 1 punch KO power but he has more than enough power to hurt Wlad.

Wlad doesn't engage until he's completely comfortable and that would never happen in the ring against Vitali. It would be Wlad scared to death trying to survive before getting stopped.

That is just it, after his KO losses and stewards changes, wlad doesnt let his hands go until hes well up on rounds but vitali is a two handed fighter from round one with odd angles. I dont think wlad can just sit back and jab vitali, he doesnt have the usual reach and height advantages he usually has.

I got this too.

At Vitali's optimum range, he'd have the jab in his face. The significant speed advantage would keep that happening all night. He probably wont fight inside, so what can he do?

Fairly simple and surprisingly one-sided. Not least due to Wlads faster and better footwork.

I dont think wlad is all that faster, his hand speed is faster but vitali's upper body movement and reflexes are faster. I can see vitali slipping his jab and countering him with his odd punches like that half hook half uppercut he has. His hand speed is slower but he will connect.
