    I'd be genuinely impressed if you could name 30 that should rank above him.

    Ring Magazine a bull**** belt? :lol::rofl:patsch I have heard it all now. And the WBO belt is the ONLY belt your fragile British Glass Jawed fighters can win.

    If it was only to sell magazines why do they have so many vacant champions? You would figure they would be like the WBA and hand belts out like candy if it was to sell magazines.

    Oh, and that WBA belt Haye is fighting for is the most worthless belt at Heavyweight right now. Wlad already beat Chagaev who beat Valuev.

    :good:hi:

    See now you are just being a rediculous hater :tired You look at technicality's with the WBA even though they have multible champs in many divisions and the fact that wlad knocked out the real wba champ... " on paper Valuev has the belt ... well on paper wlad has two belts... right now the WBO is worth more then the WBA:deal

    I would seriously dispute that Wlad's KO losses came in his prime. Lots of guys have had KO defeats that predate their prime (like David Haye and a number of more credited boxers). And on the wider question, he is still young, particularly by modern HW standards, and it looks to me as though he will spend the next few years improving his legacy and reputation to a point where he will merit consisten mention as an all timer. Vitali will retire in the not too distant (perhaps why he is staying so busy at the moment), and it is likely at that point that Wlad will pick up the WBC belt at some point. And if Haye/Valuev or the next WBA champ gets in with Wlad it seems likely that he will take that belt, too. hard to argue against him at that point. He could dominate for years, he might only be half way through his reign!
