    What the hell are you talking about ?

    I mean the real belt not some Mickey Mouse title

    And as much as I hate lummox Lewis I'm pretty sure he held the real WBC belt

    The WBC belt was a paper title held by Vitali Klitschko for the past several years. While the real champion Vladimir was fighting all the top-level contenders like Eddie Chambers, Ruslan Chagaev and Alexander Povetkin, Vitali was feasting on slow, plodding cab-drivers like Sam Peter, Chris Arreola, and Manuel Char.

    Vlad was only interested in the real HW championship, not the paper title.

    The WBC is 1 of the 4 belts considered genuine by 99% of the boxing community and is actually the oldest of the 4 belts so it's obviously not a paper title and its obvious that your a fringe lunatic so nobody cares what you think

    Ok but the WBC is not a paper title regardless

    And the WBA is not even a year older then the WBC and they both came from the split of the original champion belts

    I never said it was a paper title.
    It's a legit belt.
    The WBA evolved from the NBA which was established in the early 20s. The WBC did not but it was formed only a year after the nba became the WBA.

    It always seemed clear that it was for his brother to win/hold.

    Next question:

    So four belts, two brothers.

    Why didn't Wlad hold two and let Vitali hold two?

    Seems like a **** move.

    The belt doesn't give prestige to the fighter.

    The fighter gives prestige to the belt.
