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.

I personally think that Vitali was quite a bit better than Wlad. I mean look at the difference in each mans performance against Sanders. If they were not brothers and were willing to fight each other I would have bet a lot on Vitali winning by a KO anyway.
