Yes he was a solid LHW and a good CW. But he is not a top notch HW name. He's 6'1 and 210 pounds. Hardly impressive for a 6'7 245 pound fighter.

This ^. But he will get in the hall of fame, simply because of the number of wins he has put together. But it is probably not deserved..

Vitali has laid waste to the entire division,shame Lewis wouldn't give him a rematch,Vitali would have beat him.

LL took everything vk threw at him & LL was clearly past his best & at the end of the road & he still got sliced & diced vk, vk was lucky LL didnt fight him earlier. however imho i think LL would have finished vk off if his corner men could have done better.

So you don't want Vitali to fight Haye then?

Weltschmerz

Vitali was out during his prime years, without the injury problems who knows, he could have achieved even more. You guys just bash him, the Lennox fight was epic and Vitali has since proven to be a very respectable champ. What will you say if he beats Haye, then he's a legend?

Times are changing. Pacquiao being KO'd starts a new era in boxing. The Klitschkos may be the next to fall...

Weltschmerz

I don't see anybody but Haye having a legit chance vs either Klitschko. Vitali will retire next year, but Wlad will rule the HW division until he retires, another 4-5 yrs. There are many good fights for Wlad that will extend his resume.

Also, the ones claiming the hw div is dead, how will it be when the Klitscko's are gone? Tyson Fury or David Price are better champs?

Maybe, maybe mot. But there is little doubt that the eventual champ will fight the next best guy in the division unlike now and not divy up the competition with the next best fighter.
