Klitschko: Standing Tall Above The Division

[GunStar]

Wlad jab is the only skill that he has over Vitali, everything else Vitali was better, I personally believe that Vitali skills was underrated and Wlad skills are overrated!

Vitali movement was much more impressive then his younger brother.

He has better balance as well.

Offensively, Wlad does everything better then Vitaly, Vitaly only had uppercut on him.
Left hook, jab, cross(especially cross) and combinations are better then Vitaly.
Imo, Wlad also is better on his feet then Vitaly, although both are masters of judging the right distance.

[BrooklynBomber]

Vitaly also seemed to be able to punch his opponents from all possible angles and had better punch output.

I think Vitali is more talented physically, but the Wladamir/Emanuel Steward union makes wlad the overall better fighter than Vitali.

damn ruiz looks small compared to that animal...

Wlad could of used the uppercut in that fight, especially since Brock tended to keep his hands high, but sometimes they were high and to far apart.

I wonder if Wlad could add body shots: Maybe stick the jab in his opponents face, but don't snap it, just stick it out there to blind the guy, then shoot a hook to the body.

They say tall fighters don't throw body shots that often, but what about George Foreman, he was 6'3 1/2, that is tall, and he did it a lot.

I agree with you somewhat, I guess against big punchers Wlad throws body shots, he had a few good shots to the body of Sam Peter and that worked pretty good, but I guess its not in his arsenal,he has the best trainer in the game and he makes adjustements for every fight so it works for him, for Peter they had a totaly different plan then they had for Brock so it depends on the oponents style. I see him throwing body shots against Briggs and Valuev cause they willl work...

Well he still doesn't have Vitali's attitude. Wlad looks cool at the stare-downs, but really the guy is all smiles.

Did you see Vitali even after the KO win of Brock, no smiles, WTF. Also in the inteview, no real smile, just seemed a bit disappointed and moody.

I wonder what Vitali was saying to Wlad in the corner.

Is there a problem with Vitali and Emanuel Steward?

....Supposedly there is some slight friction between Vitali and Manny. I think Vitali is kind of hard headed and doesn't want anyone telling him what to do. Wlad is more willing to listen and accept guidance. Vitali's mean streak and strong wil cause some issues when someone is trying to tell him what to do or how to do it.

This thread just makes me realize how much I miss Vitali. He really was my favorite boxer for a period of time.

....You know what?? I'm feeling the same way. His destruction of Sanders, the Lewis fight, the Kirk Johnson beat down, and then the way he bitched slapped Anorak's butt buddy is all coming back to me.

his physic is sick
