    I mean you cant get much more dominant than these guys, Vitali in my opinion will remain unbeaten from now until he retires that is how much better he is than any of the other Heavyweights out there. Yeah ok its not the greatest division at the moment but he is so dominant that he should be in the p4p top 10 in my opinion.

    BECUASE it's not the greatest division is why he isn't on the top 10 P4P list, only other good heavyweight right now is his brother, but they wont fight.

    Vitali does not belong in this list.

    Wladimir belongs there.

    That would make sense if Chad Dawson weren't ranked despite being in a **** division and not having landed a fight with the two best 175 fighters besides him (Hopkins and Calzaghe).

    Personally, I rank all 3 of 'em but Vitali's the only one that may not make it in depending on my mood at the time. Wlad and Chad are locks on my list.

    HW are never P4P so is it THAT hard to believe they aren't in it?

    They are sometimes. Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Toney (more so because he moved up to HW) were all ranked in P4P lists.

    Always bias against the Klitschkos.

    Let Klitschkos fight Void! Get the point? They are the best fighters living today and would beat everyone in any division.

    I think it's unfair on Wlad - he's consistent and skilled enough to merit a place. But i's why P4P is a load of bull**** anyway.

    The Ring is very anti-Klitschko, hence why they shot Vitali up in the rankings a few spots after losing to Lewis, and then to #1 for beating Kirk Johnson, and then filled the vacancy for him beating the #3 contender.

    Farm - To say they're the best heavyweights is one thing - But look at the dance partners they have to work with.

    You can't really measure somethings worth against crap.

    As you like to say, Void is NOT the greatest fighter of all time and better than Robinson,Ali etc - Because he hasn't prooved it in the ring.

    The Klits suffer because the only real challenge they have in their weight class is each other.

    Out of curiosity - When was the p4p best fighter in the sport a HW?

    Cause PFP those other guys have more skills and fight against better comp. I mean bottom line if Wlad was fighting some good fighters who could punch you wouldnt be to confident about a Wlad win. Vitali sure knows how to use his size and Very strong as well as a good chin, but his style makes me think he is half robot. That being said id still have them in my top 15 but not 10.
