    Post Lewis saw an era of split belts and b level guys who would not face eachother. Wlad cleaned that out to become the recognized and now unified champ

    The worst bothersome thing about the Klitscho is, between the two of them the only A level fighter either has faced is Vitali's lost to old worn Lennox Lewis. In a combined 90+ fights, that's as good as it gets.

    In the Lummox era, the two best for a long time, Lummox and Bowe, didn't fight either, and they weren't brothers.

    It was a very unique accomplishment, and one that most likely will not re-occur any time soon, if at all.

    Well before Foreman won the lineal Championship you moron.

    Holyfield was recognized with Lewis as the top Heavyweight from 96-99, while Foreman was the lineal Champion who refused to fight either of them.

    You might want to try rereading my post and understand that it wasn't a listing of "Heavyweights who never ever fought each other at any point in their careers."

    Since some people are having trouble grasping this concept, here is a simplified breakdown.

    Did Lineal Champion Foreman fight #1 Tyson in 95-96?
    Did Lineal Champion Foreman fight #1 Holyfield or even #2 Lewis from 96-98?

    No. We had a four year period where "the top two heavyweights were excused from fighting the next best guy. "

    The fact that Vitali and Wladimir didn't fight each other is probably the least bothersome thing about the Klitschko brothers.

    All this posing for photos on each others knee bothers me other than that they're great.
