    You can certainly make the case that he is the man based on his longevity.Not for me but its a pretty evenhanded argument imo.

    but people with a certain agenda, namely an eastern European agenda seem to believe otherwise.

    there's people actually try to claim that a 40 year old fighter (who wasn't very good to begin with) was better than the prime 26 year old version of himself?

    Half of those votes are by unknown posters. Some of them without a single post.

    Desperate Klitschko fans/fan used Alts and rigged the poll.

    There was no choice in the matter, Bowe was mandated to fight Holyfield for the title. The winner of Ruddock-Lewis was mandated by the WBC to get a shot at the winner of Bowe-Holyfield. Lewis did his part by destroying Ruddock and Bowe got the title from Holyfield. Bowe was supposed to defend his titles against Lewis but completely chickened out and threw threw his WBC in the garbage and was summarily stripped. He forever more became known as "Chicken Bowe".

    There are plenty of small post posters on the other side of he fence, too. Rig has four posts. Harman has 149 since '09. I know Everythi is clearly an alt. rex11y has 61 posts since 2007. Rinsej has 185 in the same amount of time. se7enmex has zero.

    All these guys would be "guilty" of being alts/Klitschko fans if they were voting for Vitali. As is they make up the same sort of percentage of voters you are "suspicious" of in the Vitali line-up.

    It's been an interesting and worthwhile exercise, and both sides have an argument imo, but in the long scheme of things ,it's not absolutely vital to anyone ,is it?

    It's about as vital to me as anything else that happens on the forum.

    Which means I wouldn't want anyone pretending that the poll was decided by alts, but i'm not going to telephone the police.

    The man who is accusing people of having Alts is probably the one sad enough to actually do it.

    Vitali's all time status pisses all over Bowe's and IMO would have beat Bowe and likely stopped him if they ever met.

    Better call Scotland Yard now. I have a hunch they might be busy after the vote to separate from the UK.
