LOL. Chagaev was NOT the lineal champion and was not ranked in the top 2 when Wlad beat him. IOW, beating Chagaev means ****. There is a HUGE...
Yeah, IT DOES. Joe beat the LINEAL champion in Braddock. Exactly WHO did Klitschko beat?
Peter WASN'T rated #2 at the time Wlad beat him. Sorry, but you citizens of Planet Klitschko need to learn how to pay attention to DETAIL....
This idiot will be Harry Houdini after May 2nd...
Speaking from personal experience? Lol..
LOL. Ali had retired as the LINEAL HW champion and that retirement lasted all of ONE MONTH. Anyway you look at it, Ali was the legitimate #1 HW...
Wlad hadn't avenged the Brewster loss when he beat Byrd the second time - so no, the Byrd win did NOT make Wlad Lineal. Not even close.

Up until his retirement, I think a solid case can be made for Vitali having been the #1 HW in the world.

Chagaev, Haye, and Pulev could not have been the #2 rated HW in the world at the time Wlad fought them seeing as Vitali was active..
