Did Vitali ever hold more than 1 title at a time and who did he beat for those? Herbie Hide and a past prime Peter? Who Wladimir had beaten years earlier at his peak. Peter who was then given all he could handle by an obese, shot James Toney
Wladimirs best wins; Povetkin, Haye, Peter, Byrd, Brock, Thompson x2, Pulev, Brewster, Rahman, Ibragimov, Chambers, Chagaev
Vitali's; Sanders, Peter, Arreola, Williams, JC Gomez, Chisora
Wladimir is an ATG, Vitali isn't close imo
Vitali was never the best of any era he fought in. Wladimir was for a decade.
Only Vitali retired was to go into politics.

On the other hand he was the bigger and craftier brother of a guy who reigned over the premier division for 10 years. If you gave Wladimir more angles, upperbody movement and insane punch resistance you'd basically have Vitali. That counts for something.Last edited by ////; 06-10-2017, 01:19 AM.

I think Vitali would have beaten anyone Wlad beat but he didnt want it like Wlad did plus I guess injuries played a major role. I always liked Vitali better and I thought he was definitely more durable as far as punch resistant which made him less hesitant than Wlad. Im no Wlad fan in fact I rooted against him in most every fight he ever had except the Haye fight I think but you cant take anything away from the man, he did some historic **** holding the division down like he did.

I don't agree Wlad fought everyone and beat most Vitali avoided the best with his only notable fight being the Lennox Lewis match which he lost.
