Vitali is my favorite heavy I have always liked him and thought highly of his heart and determination, he overcame any questions of his fortitude from the Byrd fight, against Lewis he was the epitome of true heart and guts and mental toughness. That fight was something I'll never forget, I give Vitali a pikem chance against any of the great Heavyweights in history and favor him over quite a few.

I was astonished at his volume against Arreola and my concern of his age and getting older overnight was for nothing, that's the only chance I gave Cris was against a Vitali that lost a step. I have made it known numerous times how I feel bad for Vitali because of his injuries, if it wasnt for him going down for 4 years he could have carved himself an even better run of dominace and lineal championship rein. Instead he has to play second fiddle to a guy who has the mental toughness of a 16 year old girl who got dumped by her 1st boyfriend..
Which is why it's so easy to beat Wladimir and that's why Wladimir never has handled adversity well, he's never dealt with a cut (the way he didn't do it vs Calvin Brock), he's never gotten off the canvas to win (like he didn't do it vs Sam Peter), and he's never avenged a loss (which is why the rematch with Lamon Brewster never happened).

I find it hilarious that a die hard Floyd Mayweather Jr. fan can do nothing but talk shit about a guy who runs a division yet he has weaknesses and flaws but he doesn't hand pick his opponents, he doesn't run away from competition, and he never stops throwing punches.
News flash Lyle, the division is weak and I dont care how you justify it, Mayweather is a better fighter in all regards. PFP being a standard albeit fantasy measuring stick that fighters are judged by, Wlad isint even in the same convo with Mayweather, PFP Wlads best wins arent on par with Mayweathers. I dont hold the quality of comp against Wlad because its a product of his era and not his fault. You and the rest of your Wlad apologists can try to compare Wlad to Floyd all you want but there is no comparison, none at all WLAD is a heavyweight with undeniable 1 punch KO power. He jabs his way through 1/2 of a fight and refuses to press and annihilate a fighter that has been broken down and beaten 4 rounds prior. He is fragile at best and is protecting a weak chin, he desperately holds within 2ft of his reach and flops around the ring like a fish when pressed in the past... There is no comparison to Mayweather

Vitali is the better fighter and champion he possesses certain intangibles that other great heavyweights have, you never get the sense that Vitali is vulnerable or in trouble, never a look of desperation just a cool relaxed confidence in himself. The only way you ever hear of Vitali getting bet against is because of age and nothing else. Wlads been unraveled and stopped 3x by fighters who were signifigantly less than him, hence no matter what until the day he retires he will always have that label of fragile and chinny and he fights like someone who is protecting those vulnerabilities, nothing wrong with that but in the division he fights in, those arent qualities that people want to see in their Lineal Heavyweight Champion.

I welcome any challenge or debate on who the better brother is, because there is no way in hell Wlad could ever beat Vitali.. Vitali is the best Heavy in the world right now BAR NONE!!!
