    no. they move in so slow motion i think anyone with speed would crush them. they pick their fights too carefully..

    "Talent or lack thereof in the division" isn't and shouldn't be the criterion for Hall-of-Fame induction.

    Considering the kinds of fighters who've been inducted in recent years, I expect both brothers are probably on their way in.

    Please tell me the last part is a joke!

    Vitali took LENNOX LEWIS at short-ish notice, and came out of a 4yr retirement straight into a title fight!!

    Wlad is simply facing the best oppo available, other than his brother of course.

    I think they'll both make it in, though I think Wlad is the surer shot. If Wlad keeps going a few more years, he could rack up a respectable number of defenses and hopefully another belt or two (depending on what Vitali does). Either way, he is in the middle of a very respectable HW titleholder reign.

    Does seem strange that Wlad is more of a lock than Vitali - especially as Vitali is probably the better of them.

    Klit jr clearly has the superior resume, but Vitali has had a megafight - something which isn't really available to Wlad.
