Vitali vs wladimir who is better

This was the only worthwhile response. After words, you have to deliver action. Otherwise the words are empty, useless, a waste of your breath. I know this. Dead Man Walking. They are only as good as the guys in front of them let them be.

American fans have given up on the heavyweights because Americans no longer dominate the division it but I think they are coming round to Wladimir now. He used to make the same mistakes but I think he is the complete fighter right now. Wladimir has learned a lot. You know, when I was with Lennox I told him Wladimir was going to dominate the heavyweight division one day. I knew he would.

It would have been a really classic fight, Wladimir against Lennox, and I would have liked to have seen it without having to work the corners. He needs some devastating performances, which he is capable of achieving. They are different kinds of fighters and, technically, Wladimir has advanced a great deal. All my heavyweights have been very technical.

They have had big solid jabs, physically very strong, and they work their strength. Wladimir has even better balance than Lennox had. Lennox was explosive with the uppercut and if Lennox was in jeopardy in a fight he would run out and do what he had to do.

What Wlad has is a great ability to control you. Wlad has an unbelievable jab and great balance and he does things easily and naturally now. His footwork is phenomenal. Wladimir ruled the land of the giants — first as a WBO champ, from to , and then as THE world champion, from to — and he lost five fights; four of them by KO or stoppage.

Now that both brothers are retired and headed towards both The Hall of Fame and the history books, the question comes up: who was the greater fighter of the two? Wladimir had more natural ability but he was not as tough, Vitali had a better chin and a nastier killer instinct but he was, his critics claimed, too robotic. Vitali engaged in an impressive 17 world title fights. Wladimir boxed in no less than 29 world title bouts! In terms of quality of opposition beaten, Wladimir holds a distinctive edge over his brother.

Vitali lost to Lewis but in that war he showed the kind of rock-solid chin his brother could only dream of having. But Vitali would have a slight size advantage, has a much better chin never down in his pro or amateur career and has the mental edge as the older brother.

I am the street fighter. I just go in the fight and try to knock him out. If brothers fight each other I think we can easily put , in the stadium. Skip to main content Skip to navigation.
