    Vitali repeatedly said Wlad is better than him so I think that settles it doesn't it?

    Why is IBO a ploystyrene title?
    But hey, if the IBO is a ploystyrene title, then The Ring Magazine certainly is too.

    And if you want to nag on the titles. Then again I dont give a thing about the WBO title either.

    The WBA, WBC & IBF titles are the only ones who counts.

    No. Vitali has been the best heavy since Lewis imo.

    Let's extract that a little.

    The only reason Lennox Lewis didn't have the IBF and WBA when he retired, was due to boxing politics.

    So really, Wlad doesn't have the IBF (as technically it wasn't Byrds to have at the time he won it), nor the WBA (as again, the whole Ruiz fiasco would never have happened).

    So, if you want to go down that path, Wlad is the WBO champion only.

    This game is too easy.

    The 4 year injury layoff allowed Wlad to overtake him for "Heavyweight Champion Greatness" though.

    However, Vitali does have the WBC title, the oldest & most prestigious alphabet org title.

    They would still have to beat Vitali to be THE champ.

    Haye would have to beat both Klitschko's before I would think of him as THE CHAMP.

    I certainly don't see that happening!

    Chance i give Haye to defeat Peak Wlad: 20%

    Chance i give Haye to defeat Old Vitali: 10%*

    (*if he beats Wlad, 5% otherwise)

    Agreed with this. There will not be a HW CHAMPION OF THE WORLD because the Klitschko's will not fight eachother, the only way a HW CHAMPION OF THE WORLD can truly be crowned is if Haye wins today.

    Listen, Voidtali fanboy. I've already indirectly debunked this in another thread.

    LOL, this is certainly no Super fight. It just appears so since the Klits have held the HW belts in absolute boredom for the last 5 years. Any excitement from that direction is easily misinterpreted as extraordinary, but in reality, it's just an average bout between two average fighters.
