    Not that I would vote for them by no means, but we do have Matthew and Ricky Hatton.

    I'm making it up?

    Wladimir Klitschko
    WBO Heavyweight Champion: October 14, 2000-March 8, 2003
    IBF Heavyweight Champion: April 22, 2006-Present

    Vitali Klitschko
    WBO Heavyweight Champion: June 26, 1999-April 1, 2000
    WBC Heavyweight Champion: April 24, 2004-November 9, 2005

    They are 2-time heavyweight champions

    You can't count WBO titles. Otherwise Herbie Hide is a two time champion too!

    Alright...in that case, I'm sure we can settle on "two time titlists":lol:

    Honestly, I cant fathom how the Klits are ahead of the Spinks' in this poll?

    I could EASILY make an arguement that Michael accomplished more than both of them over his career.

    But hey....what can ya do???

    Exactly and that's the reason why I voted for the Spinks in this poll. Michael is an ATG at LWH. Now way should the Klits be rated higher.

    I think the Klitschko brothers are ahead of the Spinks brothers because of Leon's career. But Michael Spinks is easily greater than either of the two Klitschkos.

    I voted for the Spinks brothers just for the fact that....honestly, out of every fighter up there, Michael is head and shoulders the best one.

    You could make an arguement for JMM....but it would be a very weak one....so not really.

    Leon is just icing on the cake in my eyes (and he was A HELL OF ALOT BETTER than his record showed....we ALL can agree there.).

    Agreed...and he had the best amateur career out of everybody on the poll in my opinion.

    I think it comes down to the Spinks, Gibbons, and Marquez brothers.

    haha! if the mayweather brothers made the polling list, they have more of an argument to be on it.

    i was thinking about it but bobby is just a bum compared to the others in this list. :D
