Now I understand people believe that Vitali is the better man, iron chin. Two stoppages came from injuries rather than KO's, never been down. BUT on their resumes how is Vitali considered the more accomplished fighter?

Because he took insane punches from a fighter Wlad would have been sparked in 1 against.... Herbie Hide. Fact.
i actually think wlad is better now. Vitali is less mobile and holds his hands lower and I actually believe he's easier to hit. He's slowed down a hell of alot over the last few years.
I know I'm in the minority with this opinion but i don't give a shit.
Well like you said, Vitali has a better chin and a toughness about him that Wlad seems to lack. There's lots of ways of looking at this resume comparison, but overall and all things considered, when you look at what Wlad has been able to accomplish at the championship level, I give him a slight nod over his brother.Quote:

It's just too soon to know in my view.
Vitali is the more exciting fighter. I like his style of fighting better.
Because of the Haye fight this weekend?Quote:

The same goes for Vitali, who's he going to fight that's relevant?
The question was simple based on resume who is better not tomorrow, not of all time, but right now.
I'm surprised at the lack of responses.
I will say Vitali is the better one. Not based on his resume, but i believe Vitali could beat everyone on wlad's list, possibly to include wlad himself.
So, wlad accomplished more but vitali is the better one all around.
