A true Heavyweight Champion is born tonight...

Unified what though? The WBO, BIG DEAL. The Maskaev Peter winner has a greater claim to be the champ and when they fight Vitali then the winner of that will be The Champ.

 

Do you still feel this is true?

 

He preferred Tyson to Vitali..... atsch :smoke

 

Bull****. How the **** does the winner of Maskaev vs. Peter have more of a claim? Explain yourself. :bart

 

Well Barney? The WBC is lucky if they can get their own Heavyweight belts unified. Nice try, thanks for playing.

 

There is no true/undisputed heavyweight champion... yet.

 

The WBO belt is up there with the other 3 at this point. Their rankings are no worse & they haven't created the mess that the WBC has either.

 

despite buffers ludicrous announcement of Undisputed champion at the beginning which could easily have fooled someone not in the know that this was actually that Undisputed fight. Even the term Unified is disengenous.

 

Because Vitali was the champ in everyones eyes when he retired!

Wlad beat Byrd for the IBF belt which Byrd gained as a vacant belt while THE real champion was still Lewis. Thereby that title was inconsequential when held by Byrd, and now Wlad.

Vitali Klitschko beat sanders for the retired crown of Lewis.

Sanders was stripped of the WBO belt for facing Vitali, So technically Vitali beat the true lineage holder of the WBO title while gaining Lewis`s WBC and Ring belts.

Wlad fought for the vacant WBO title in a losing effort against Brewster. All Wlad gains from beating Sultan is the lineage of victory from his loss to Brewster.

The true WBO lineage went with the WBC, Ring and at the time the recognition as the lineal champion and holding Lewis`s belt.

Vitali passed that onto Rahman who passed it onto Maskaev.

The winner of Maskaev vs. Peter has the greatest lineal claim as champion!

 

Show me any other fighter with 2 out of the 4 belts, who'd be the clear favorite against every other fighter in the division, with the deepest resume....and they'll call him Champion. :yep

Wlad's the man. :deal

 

Absolutely correct.

 

Yup, he's it! But Ibragimov surprised me today. But He was beat good!

 

Vlad was very impressive. I am glad Sultan did not get seriously hurt tonight. I recorded the fight on my DVR, the replay was much more impressive. Vlad is for real.
