Who do you consider the true Heavyweight champion and why?

Wladimir is the best heavyweight and is the true champ. Used to prefer his brother but Wlad has grown on me and these days I enjoy watching him. He's always frustrating to watch, even when he's aggressive like in the Wach fight, you still feel like he could step it up. Still, he does what he needs to do to win, has good speed and ridiculous power. Love the sound when he connects with a right hand, "thwack!". Beautiful one-two he has.

The heavyweight division may be poor atm but without the Klits it would be worse not better. We'd just have inferior fighters taking the belts. People might perceive these fighters to be better than they are because they have all the belts, but that's all. All these heavies complain about the klits being boring and ruining the divison, but what the **** are they doing about it? Some of them can't even be bothered to get in shape, and come in the ring with titties and rolls of flab, yet have the nerve to have a pop at the brothers. It's not the klit's fault these guys are too fat, and it's not the klit's fault these guys are just not good enough. Absolute clowns. We're talking about guys who are considered some of the better fighters in the heavyweight divison. Guys like Chisora and Arreola. Even these guys aren't in shape, have had world title shots and even then come into the ring too heavy. The rest are either too small, too inexperienced, too old, or too busy eating kangaroo dick in some jungle. No one is stopping these guys, apart from their own lack of ambition/ability. Fury is the only guy that excites me, but his time will come later. Never been a fan of David Haye, but the guy is in good shape, and rarely in a bad fight so hopefully the **** can spend more time fighting and less time on his silly smart phone apps. It'll be good to have the fool back.

 

I would consider it vacant.

The two best fighters choose (rightly) not to fight each other post Lewis, thus until one brother retires, and the other meets the best available opposition or the very unlikely scenario of Lewis coming back, the title remains vacant.

 

Aye, I've just spoken with Volo and he says that's what worries him. He'll be damned if he's going to sit back and have you strip him of your title. The IBF or Ring is one thing but ain't nobody got time for that.

 

Potentially career ending losing that title...

 

Wladimir Kiltschko is top of the Food Chain.

 

It's what happened to Spadafora.

 

on ability - vitali.

on unifying - wlad.

i think vitali is the best though.

brutal. :yep

 

vitali would walk wlad down all night. :yep

wlad even admits himself that his brother is better. :deal

 

Wlad. Because it makes life easier...

 

Not even close. In 20 years time people wil remember Vitali simply as Wladimir Klitchko's less successful brother.

 

Out of interest, how many fighters have fought both brothers?

 

Peter, Sanders, Purrity and Byrd, off the top of my head. They may have both fought some obscure journeyman though.

This hurts both of their legacies, I think. A fighter loses to Vitali and he is no longer considered a viable challenger for Wlad, and vice versa. That's not fair, I don't think. Wlad's legacy would be greater if he fought Arreola, Adamek etc., and Vitali's would be better if he had fought Chambers, Haye etc.. A loss to one brother doesn't mean a guy is no longer a threat to the other brother.

It also doesn't help that both brothers are very selective about which brother faces who.

 

I would have to go all scientific and see who has the most belts.
