    Untill he gets the WBA title and fights Vitali, hes just the best of the beltholders.

    A few months ago, I would have said Vitali is the better fighter (prime vs prime, he might still be). But after Saturday's performance, I believe Wlad is clearly the class of the division.

    I agree that Wlad is the all-round best. But is holding two belts enough to make him the legitimate heavyweight world champion, or just the best of the belt holders?

    Wlad is the champion in my eyes, though it pains me to say it..

    Vitali is an old man now and probably just wants a few more paydays; retirement will be soon for him I should think. Wlad is still hungry for blood and titles. I consider Wlad the champ at the moment although I believe Vitali would beat him up badly if they ever fought.
