So what? Wlad runs **** at HW. VK helps him out.

[Mr. Philadel]

Wlad should already have the ring belt! Wlad is the top HW on the planet hands down Vitali aint doin' **** but holdin' Wlad back from totally dominating the division!

[Thread Stealer]

He might be able to fill the vacancy should he beat Chagaev.

In some instances (V. Klit-Sanders, Calzaghe-Lacy), vacancies have been filled by #1 vs. #3.

Wlad-Chagaev was always a better matchup to me than Wlad-Peter 2, regardless of what HBO was trying to push.

Problem is, it would seem more likely that Vitali would fight Chagaev than Wladimir. That way, they would have two belts apiece. In order for Wladimir to get the ring belt, assuming they win their fights, Wlad would have to beat Povetkin, Vitali would have to beat Chagaev, the ratings get shifted around a bit, and maybe Wlad beats Valuev, who would be rated #3. Anyway, it might be awhile before any of this happens. Ring belt or not, I think the world recognizes the Klitschko brothers as the #1 and #2 heavyweights in the world. Everyone in the heavyweight division will also want to fight them, since they're both prestigious names, and the biggest money in the division. But first, Wladimir vs. Povetkin.

[MWMerlino]

The real problem is that Wlad and Vitali will never fight--and I think we all know that Vitali would win quite easily. I also think I speak for most people when I say that I'd rather see Vitali fight the other top HW as soon as possible since he is injury prone and old and doesn't have many years left.

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

Maybe it will, VK is ten times the fighter Wlad is!!! How easy did he beat Sam!!!

[MJ406]

isn't Chagaev probably going after Valuev once healthy?
