    Given the talent or lack thereof in the HW division, do you think that the brother's are worthy to be inducted into the HOF?

    At least Wladimir is.

    It's not his fault that there's no competition in the HW division- he demolishes those put in front of him. That's a what a fighter does.

    I would say yes.

    Wlad certainly should be.

    Todays heavyweight division is as shallow as Lewis' era.

    Remeber back then when Lewis was champ there where people saying that it wasnt as good as yesteryears. After Wlad goes people will again be saying the next lot of heavies are talentless bums compared to Wlads era.

    You will never win.

    Both probably will be.

    Wlad has better resume, but for a guy to come out of retirement from a four year layoff and totally dominate the supposed #2 fighter in the division shows how good Vit is.

    Not yet, but if they both "win out" as the expression goes in other sports then yes but they both have more to do esp. Vitali.

    yes. and what's even worse for fans who note that both are not top 10-20 all time...there isnt anyone on the horizon who's even as good as they are. so the hof question regarding the heavyweight division should be interesting in about 10 years

    Wlad the better resume ?!?!? You've got to be kidding. He got knocked out a few times by not-so great fighters while his brother never lost (the 2 losses he suffered aren't real ones) and knocks out everybody in front of him. Anybody has a chance to win against Wlad because of his glass chin.

    They just need to stay busy, and keep winning.

    Two good fighters, would have been around the top in any era. However Wlad is clearly vulnerable when fighting anyone with real pop and Vitali injury prone. Both HOF, if they see out the next 2-3 years, and Wlad#s chin is kept away from Haye!

    The first one to beat Chris Arreola will be HOF worthy.

    i dont think they will, i think they are better than some of the HOF's but they both came at the wrong time in heavyweight boxing and have no great rivals like ali, foreman and fraizer or lewis, tyson and holyfield.
