I agree except I think that Wlad has faster hands. As for the rest of it, I think Vitali was more creative in the ring, had better offense, threw better combinations, and had a much better defense. Just re-watch his Sanders fight, the way he avoided Sanders' left hooks was just perfect. Damn, I wish he'd come back, the belts are there for his taking. I'm sure he could get a WBC belt easy. Depending on who the champ was at the moment, I think he would KO Maskaev or mop the floor with Peter or overwhelm Toney and TKO him by 10.Comment

Vitali was a very underrated fighter IMO. People said he had no heart after Byrd, but his fight with Lewis scrapped that talk.
No, he didn't have a lot of fluidity and grace in his movements, but in some ways that was an advantage as his herky-jerky style made him hard to decipher and hit. And he wasn't a one punch KO guy, but he had consistently heavy hands that really laid a beating on people. That, plus his chin and his mean streak - I think he beats anyone today pretty easily, including his brother.Comment
