To me here's the thing Vitali has a fighter's instincts and Wladimir has worked hard to hone his skills. It doesn't mean 1 worked harder in the gym or that one is better than the other, it's just Vitali's abilities seem more natural and God given while Wladimir's seem to have been nurtured by Manny Steward so you get some indecisivness and some hesitation, but both guys are great fighters. With the thinking Wlad does he can also set traps and walk people into punches, Vitali does more pushing the defense to one side or the other and landing shots and Wlad will move the defense with his punches....jab to open up the hook, hook to open up the right cross, etc.
