Talk on the heavyweight fight tonight about Vitali and Vladimir Klitschko getting a championship fight. It seems wrong to me ,but they are champion and number one contender. Brothers fighting in a heavyweight championship fight would be a big deal, but somehow just wrong. Any thought on whether it should happen?
Be shocked if that ever came off - they’ve always said they would never fight one another, have they had a recent change of heart? I guess Vitali would be hypothetically favoured, although I’ve not seen him since he came back so don’t know what form he is in recently.
Pretty sure Keith Primeau had a fight with his brother in the NHL, which was an eye-opener. A 30 second flame-up is a different story to 12 rounds of boxing, though - hard to see it happening between two well-adjusted siblings like the Klitschkos.
During the Mayweather fight they said both brothers are warming to the idea. It would be a huge payoff. But it would turn me off. It seems so perverted.
Huh, that doesn’t seem weird to me at all. I would think that they’d like to fight each other. Sure it’s dangerous, but it’s their sport. I think brothers fighting in hockey is way worse. It’s not required in the sport at all.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than watching those two laboratory creations beating each other up but it’ll never happen. If it did Vlad would lose to his giant-headed brother Vitali.
I would be very, very surprised if they fought.
