    I would put Wlad well ahead

    H2H though I pick either of the Klitschkos to beat Wilder

      Solis KO Ortiz with ease.
      What's the argument again?

        You can't just combine Vitali's two reigns, and include a lengthy retirement, to try to create an 8 year run.

        Vitali's first reign was a bust. Won a vacant title, made one low level defense that flopped commercially and then retired to duck Rahman.

        So let's look at Vitali's second reign, which was shorter than Wilder's reign, and had one less defense.

        I'd say beating Peter for the title and beating Stiverne for the title is pretty comparable.

        Vitali took a lot of people's 0s during his reign, but several guys did manage to go the distance with him. Whereas every successful Wilder defense ended in a knockout, except the draw with Fury, which was half a second away from ending in a knockout and many refs would have waved it off.

        It's hard to judge just how big some of Vitali's fights were, since most of them weren't in the US and weren't treated as a big deal in the US.

        I'll give Wilder the nod for making it to 10 defenses and helping grow the health of the division, while the Klitschko's really harmed the commercial viability of the division. Wilder's biggest fights were definitely bigger than Vitali's biggest fights.
        Wlad completely outclasses both though

          Vitali was unable to fight certain guys because of Wlad . Wilder lasted as long as he did because he didn't venture outside the WBC and was not himself a champion when Vitali was because of Vitali.

            They’ve fought 4+ times and Solis never KO’d him once...😂

              Vitali was overrated. Lennox barely trained, was coming up to 40 and he still stopped him. Wlad had a much better career. Both of them would have knocked bum squad out in a few rounds

                  Solis embarrassed himself vs Vitali but he was clearly better than Ortiz.
