Let's say Vitali retires after fighting the winner of Stiverne-Arreola. How will this affect the heavyweight scene? Do Wlad and Haye rematch for the now-vacant WBC title, with the winner becoming the lineal/undisputed heavyweight champion of the world? And how does Vitali never fighting Haye, in this scenario, affect his resume?
there is no way that belt is going to anyone but Arreola first, Sillyman will make sure of that, just like he stripped Sergio and made pothead Chavez champion
OK, then how about Wlad and Arreola fight to become the undisputed heavyweight champion? Oh, and just in case Vladimir23 comes and posts about how Vitali has never been down or behind on the scorecards: Have you ever seen Leonard-Hearns I? Hearns was well ahead on the scorecards when Leonard knocked him out. Guess what? IT STILL COUNTS AS A LOSS.
Bumpkins like Fury, Price, Charr and Chisora will go life and death one another to win the vacant title and officially permanently pollute the division.
I like Vitali but I don't think people will miss him all that much. He hasn't faced a live body in several years now. At this present moment, Wlad is seen as the most dominating force in Heavyweight and it isn't even close. Wlad has the MUCH better resume, Wlad also fights live bodies. Vitali fights cab drivers. He needs to fight Haye then go. Maybe then we'll care once again. But as if this moment, who gives a ****? If he's going to keep fighting cans like Charr, he can **** off to Politics.
It's time Vitali retires, or steps in the ring within 3 months. No point in hogging the belt when he is past his best.
