No way is Wlad better than Vitali
I think Vitali is mentally tougher but Wlad is hands down the better BOXER and I think Wlad has more 1 punch power than Vitali too.
Vitali broke guys down with his size and power but only over a period of time......Wlad can spark a guy out anytime during a fight and with any punch in his arsenal.
Vitali is more the fan favorite because he didn't mind getting hit or throwing a ton of punches whereas Wlad likes to mentally win the fight and then seal the deal and it works for him. If Wlad wasn't Vitali's brother then he'd be more respected, not as much as he should be but people wouldn't compare him to Vitali and what they think Vitali could have been if he didn't get injured so much
Ok I respect what your saying. I don't necessarily agree because part of being a good BOXER is being able to take a punch which Vitali was certainly better at than Wlad IMO. Secondly i think that Vitali had just as good one punch knockout power as Wlad does just watch the Herbie Hide fight.Quote:

And finally IMO Wlad would have been beaten easily by Lennox whereas whatever excuses are made for Lennox he was in serious trouble until that cut stopped the fight against Vitali. Of course if Wlad caught Lennox with one of his big shots he would have caused him trouble if not KOd him but I just don't think it would have happened.
Vitali was more willing to take a punch....Wlad doesn't get hit all that often which is more than likely the reason for his problems with taking a few big shots. One shot Wlad took from Corrie Sanders was a left cross right on the button and Wlad got right back up....granted he didn't know what to do after he got back up but still. And Wlad took the same left hooks Golota got KO'd by from Lamon Brewster and only fell at the end of the round because of exhaustion.
Wlad is the better BOXER, Vitali was more of a FIGHTER and that's what everyone wants in a heavyweight.
Vitali KO'd 32 of 33 fighters....he had power but not the kind of power Wlad has. Herbie was never known for his great chin.
Maybe not but up until Vitali beat him he had only ever been beaten once and that was off Riddick Bowe so no shame there it was a great right hand that put him down first time, just as good as the one Wlad KO'd Thompson with.Quote:

Haye beats the daylight crap out of him.
Lefty im right behind you here mate Haye will KO him no probs;)Quote:
