Should Wladimir Klitschko Be Awarded The Ring Belt By Default?

Honestly if Vitali beats McCline he should have it, he retired with it and now he is back. Vitali Klitschko IS the rightfull Ring Magazine Champion.

 

And it would seem the general concesus (hater's not included) that Wlad is head and shoulders above any competition out there. I've read long debates on ESB about who should even be his next opponent, as no one seems worthy or won't get badly killed in there. I say Wlad should have the ring belt. But atleast the Ring Championship is the only one that gets won/lost in the ring.:good

 

He's only beaten the #2 and #8 guys. Then again, the second-highest scorer (Chagaev) also has only two wins over top 10 guys.

Testament to the division's inactivity.

 

who s number 2 in the ring rankings? Peter?


I said no. If It s peter it was what? 3 years ago that he beat him. Peter wasnt number 2 when Wlad beat him.

 

thats not how it works. You win the Ring belt in the ring.

 

[FONT=&quot]While Wlad is the #1 heavy right now, I think he needs a title unification match. The winner of Ibragimov vs Holyfield could be ranked as high as #2 or #3. The winner of the match appears to be willing to fight Wlad. By Ring Magazine rules, if a #1 fights a #2 or #3, a new champion can be crowned in a time of vacancy.

However, the long shadow of Vitali Kiltschko's comeback looms. Vitlai was the last Ring Magazine champion. Vitlai should not be out of this discussion. If Vitlai beats McCline down, then cleans up on the winner of Maskev vs Peter, he could return as the Ring Magazine champion.

It is best to wait as many things can happen in the two years.

No - once he beats another champion or beats Peter again he should

 

Read the thread, it is about Wlad Klitschko.

 

The reason Wlad does not already have the ring belt, is due to the fact he is white and from europe rather than the fact that he has not beaten quality opposition. If Wlad was an Amercian and black and he had beaten the same people he would have the ring belt right now. Everyone knows that this is true.

 

I would say have a Klitschko vs. Peter rematch if Peter wins in his upcoming title shot. Then it would be a superfight.

 

Then if Lennox Lewis comes out of retirement, then he should get the Ring belt back right? That whole concept is ridiculous. He isn't the rightful Ring champion and never should have had it to begin with.

 

atsch The rules are as clear as day....to be ring champ a #1 must beat #2 or #3 in some instances. Whats so hard to comprehend? He wasnt #1 when he beat Peter and Peter wasnt#2 when they fought.

 

Ummm....thats IDIOTIC. He didn't beat the #2 guy when he was #1. Those are the rules? Should they make an exception so you don't think it's a race or nationality thing?

 

Why? Because you say so? Vitali Klitschko was the Ring Champion, deal with it. and he should be the Ring Champion since he is coming back and NEVER lost the belt. Lennox is not coming back.
