Wlad gives Vitali a bad name.

How many time have you heard the Klitschkos are boring to watch, robotic, safety first fighters.

I've seen these label given to them more than a few times, but is this fair?

You might say yes, I've seen Klitschko fight and have been bored to tears, but ask yourself which Klitschko was it.

Wlad is a safety first fighter, keep his right up 99.99% of the time protect his fragile chin, mostly uses the jab and only opens up when is opponent is exhausted and is no longer a threat.

He also holds on the inside and is unwilling to trade or be creative. Wlad has been is some very boring fights. The old jab jab grab technique, and is allowed to get away with it in Germany.

Vitali on the other hand, is much more aggressive attacking, drops his hands, although a great jabber, he throws a variety of punches, will trade, is more fluid opens up early and not just looks to wear his opponent down and was involved in the last great heavyweight fight and has been in some very exciting fights. The Sanders fight and the fight with Lennox were some of the most exciting heavyweight fights in the last 10 years.

Vitali is a faded fighter now, but in his prime he gave us many great fights only one brother consistently bores us with his performances.


Isn't it about time we stop saying the Klitschkos are boring, when the fact is it is just Wlad. Vitali does not deserved to be tarred with the same brush as Wlad simply because they are brothers.
