Klitschko which is better

The guys they have been fighting lately were not on the up, guys like Tony Thompson who brought no passion to his fight with Wladimir and Ray Austin who is a nonentity. Sam Peter was hopeless against Vitali, absolutely hopeless. Most of these guys were petrified about facing the Klitschkos. Gomez was able to catch him surprisingly often in the first two rounds especially.

Wladimir has the ability to come out on top and by the end of his career I believe he will have achieved more than his brother. Vitali taught me how to play when I was Growing up, I would always want to play against my teacher [Vitali]. Of course, playing the teacher was tough. I have had many dreams about beating my teacher but the teacher is tough. The teacher holds a slight edge.

Remarkably, Vitali, who earned a silver medal as a super heavyweight at the World Amateur Championships in Berlin, has never once hit the canvas as a professional. Wladimir is an expert boxing technician who at his best could beat any heavyweight ever by a decision on a given night.

Vitali is a tough, rugged and strong man who could render any heavyweight unconscious with a sound connection to the kisser. Wladimir is 34 years of age, and Vitali is 39, and that five-year gap would prove pivotal and allow the younger Klitschko to presently triumph on a consistent basis.

Together they ruled the world as dominant heavyweight champions, realising a lifelong dream as they did so. Vitali ruled the division — first as a WBO champ, from to , and then as a WBC king, from to — and he lost just two fights; both due to quite horrific injuries. Wladimir ruled the land of the giants — first as a WBO champ, from to , and then as THE world champion, from to — and he lost five fights; four of them by KO or stoppage. Now that both brothers are retired and headed towards both The Hall of Fame and the history books, the question comes up: who was the greater fighter of the two?

Wladimir had more natural ability but he was not as tough, Vitali had a better chin and a nastier killer instinct but he was, his critics claimed, too robotic.
