    yeh np.
    his brother beating opponents for him that he couldn't, or that he didn't fancy his chances with, would have left him with a much briefer title reign.

    not withstanding him never facing another potential fairly decent opponent in wlad for nearly 2 decades, convenient. but yeh on planet K that translates as "he would have had more success without wlad"

    Sorry, he doesn't belong anywhere near the top ten.

    First of all I don't even like the Klitschko's so don't go down the planet K path with me, and secondly, who did Wlad beat that Vitali couldn't?

    I really can't think of anyone off the top of my head.

    If anything I think it was Vitali who served as a proxy for a Wlad - Sanders rematch. Certainly the best opponent either faced was an over the hill Lewis.

    it doesn't matter if you hate the Klits, if you attempt to make a point in favour of a Klit from any angle you are a Kliturd from planet K in Herol's mind.

    if you bash a Klit from any angle you are Herol's friend :p
