No, I don't believe Brothers should fight each other, that is asking too much just for people's twisted entertainment.

You know the answer to that yourself, there's not much they can do to achieve greatness as they are in THE or one of THE worst heavyweight eras in history.

The way they go about beating their lackluster opponents, which I know isn't their fault its all thats out there, but the way they go about beating them does not scream "greatness" to me. Jab, jab, jab, clinch, throw a 1-2, clinch, jab. Occasionally a left hook will get in there too. Wlad in particular lets fights go on far too long out of extreme caution when the opponent is no longer dangerous or was never dangerous in the first place. Its like watching the Lews vs. Tua fight on repeat over and over again. The exception to this would of course be Wlad dispatching of Ray Austin in 2 rounds. Vitali takes more risks and if I had to pick one I'd say I do enjoy watching him fight a bit more.

Neither really "dare to be great", but Vitali certainly takes more risks than Wlad.

They are technically sound and win by stoppage more often than not. So they don't go all Ricardo Mayorga on fighters, why should they, they are technically superior to every single fighter they face? Styles don't make fighters great...winning a lot no matter who they fight should provide enough for them to be considered great. So its a weak era, but they are dominating, it's not like they struggle.

I'm not sure I'd say that they're technically better than most of their opponents. Their size allows them to fight in the style that they fight. At 6'2 they get owned by a good few of their opponents technically IMO of course, I realise this is a stupid argument..I would fight how they fight too if I had their size. I guess my point is that there aren't many other 6'7+ guys out there to test them. Which is why hopefully Price can continue to improve. It will be interesting to see what happens when they finally meet someone who is at least on the level technically and has some statistical advantages - Look how competitive a fight was between an unfocused Lewis and Vitali for example..

Time is on the Klitschko's side, however. By the time Price or any other HW prospect out there is ready to challenge the Klits.... and actually make a decent fight out of it.... the argument that the Klits are past their prime will have taken on some importance.

Of course..if I'm price I roll the dice with Wladimir after another couple of fights. If you can outreach Wlad, then he will be forced to fight in a way that is uncomfortable for him. We also know Wlad can be hurt.
