    considering that almost 70% of the HW lineal champion were inducted into the hall of fame, do you think there would be a spot for the brothers if they both retire today?

    Wladimir Klitschko would, Vitali no. It's mostly because of Wladimir's succesive defenses as opposed to Vitali's title reigns being short, that and Wladimir has the better resume. 2 title reigns with 5 or more defenses each can't lie. Vitali did something impressive though winning the HW title 4 after 4 years of inactivity, if he keeps up for a few defenses he could be in the HOF too.

    Neither of them really have HoF worthy resumes but due to the state of heavyweights since 2000 i wouldn't be surprised if Wlad made it in, and possibly Vitali if he picks up another decent win or two before he retires.

    the boxer can't be included in to HOF unless he is 5 years inactive ;)
    As you know bowe is active right now. If wlads will conquer 1 more belt he will be in HOF 1000% coz only one boxer before him has collected belts 1 by one and it was a Tyson. If he stays after Vitali retiring and get his belt and beet Valuev or ChagaevHandicap he will be first Undisputed Champ with 4 belts;)
