Complete Bovine excrement, lad. I am in complete agreement that Wlad is the more skillful boxer of the two brothers and has a better raft of scalps on his resume. Why would it hurt ? Are you arguing with yourself here, its a ? 'cause that's sure what it looks like. :yep There are countless threads on the idea of rightful champion. After Lennox retired, there was no 'rightful' champion for a long time. The big four alphabet organizations all had 'champions' and eventually, Wlad earned (in most observers' minds) the distinction of 'linear' champion, which is what I presume you mean by 'rightful' champion. When he achieved that honour is up for discussion. Some argued that he was CHAMPION when he beat Byrd. Others (including RING Magazine) said it was when he beat Chagaev. The TNBR decided it was when he beat Povetkin. Dinovelvet felt it was never. In most minds, he did eventually achieve the goal, and in misty minds, Vitali did not. BTW, I am a fan of BOTH brothers. He has many respectable wins, but as I told you at the very beginning, (only half in jest ), Vitali's loss to ATG Lewis was better than anything Haye ever did.
vitali 3 time hw belt holder and former linear champ (Sanders vs Vitali was for linear title) wins gomez (long time CW champ) Adamek (Cw champ no 3 Hw at the time) Peter (no2 heavy at the time) Sanders (no 3 Hw at the time) Top 10 guys (Hide, Arreolla, Donald, Solis-Undefeated olympic gold medalist) And Haye has what? WBA paper belt (chagevs belt, latter Wlads), Valuev (top5 Hw at he time) Ruiz (top ten at the time) thats it! Then at CW he has Linear title and unified, morrameck no 1 CW Enzo no 3 and Fragnomeli top ten. So no i don't think haye has better resume!
vitali lost to klitchko lineal title was vacant until Wlad vs Chagaev Vitali was never a lineal champion. Haye KO'd mormeck for the undisputed CW championship. these are facts
Name one accomplishment for Vitali that doesnt involve looking great while his getting uppercutted to death by lennox. Haye is better simply put.
We would have to consider Vitali the greatest non-champion of all time. I go haye for being a lineal holder and moving up in weight. regardless of what you guys think of the "watered down" HW division
yes thatwhy hes chumpish, he relied on his brother to bail him out of middling opposition he couldn't beat. haye on the other hand, ran from mediocre opposition that he couldn't beat.
and vice versa for wlad as well. im trying to think who else couldn't get the lineal. Terell, Ellis, Morrison?
