    x2. Wlad is slowly overtaking the division and Vitali isn't in his prime anymore, but still don't think anybody beats him unless they can crack his chin.

    In reality he is the #1 Heavyweight as he was Ring Magazine Champion and never lost in the ring he had to retire. You can go on and on about how Wlad has fought the better fighters etc. but that really doesn't matter. Vitali has not been beaten since June of 2003.

    Being undefeated doesn't mean anything if you haven't beaten the best fighters. His brother has beaten better fighters which means his brother is the best.

    As good as Vitali is, and as smart a man he is, with his grasp of English you could see a conversation like this happening.

    But yeah, I think Wlad is the number 1 HW at the moment. Vitali was, but he is now past it.
