    Exactly:good

    Me......Yeah, I'll miss the brothers. IMO Vitali is gonna in 2013, retired after 3 more wins. Wlad will p/u that belt, get his UNDISPUTED title, and keep it for 6-10 more fights.

    Hopefully someone like Helenius or Price or Wach will be ready to step in there in 4 years w/o having been fed to one of the brothers.

    We all know what taking over the division looks like when you lost to the previous retired champ, or have losses to former contenders.

    The HW division is FULL of qualified fighters, but they are clearly outclassed by either brother. Should Helenius(who I favor to take over after the Bros are gone) be able to tone up, keep beating guys without being forced to fight a Klitschko, I think he'll take over where the bros left off, and unify himself.

    :deal

    I'll be very pissed since they are my favorite fighters, but with every new decade or so, I'm sure there will be other fighters I will route for in the division. And there should always be other guys in the lower divisions that you like.

    Anyone that watched Wlad fight like a complete coward against an even more cowardly Haye and fail to dent that China Chinned Hype Job's mandible in twelve rounds and STILL call him "boxing perfection" is a ****ing moron.

    It will be terribly depressing! The haters will rejoyce but over time they will finally appreciate the KBros and wish they were still active. You don't know what you got until its gone...

    Here's to hopeing both KBros stay for a while!

    Depressing? Tears? No Way LOL

    They are very solid dominant fighters, but are very boring and very safe, especially vlad. Like others have said, it will open up the division with more exciting and balance fights. Most turn off boxing because of them.

    The era where the likes of Ruiz, Byrd and now Haye and Povetkin will rule. Don king will be happy as **** to have 4 champs getting paid from their bs defenses again.

    You don't watch much boxing and also are a general ****ing idiot so you wouldn't understand Haye ran all night and was not aggressive at all even in the 12th round. No Boxer would KO haye when he's running all night, so your a ****ing moron with a low IQ, no surprise here.
