Thanks for posting TS, this just further proves Wladimir is a legend.

Congrats champ.

[Rahat]

Congrats to him,but look at th competition he faced. The truth is the only 2 good heavyweights are brothers holding belts.

[White_Knight]

By the times he faces Povetkin he'll be the 2nd longest reigning.

[The Hammer]

By the times he faces Povetkin he'll be the 2nd longest reigning.

Yes, by the end of August he'll pass Dempsey and Holmes.

If you accept The Ring's declaration of him being heavyweight champ then it is only 4 years. If you accept the traditional method of lineage then he isn't a historical heavyweight champion at all and is merely a belt holder. All other heavyweight champs had to beat the man prior to them or fight the second ranked opponent in the division, Wlad has done neither.

Should Vitali hang them up soon then Wlad might have the chance to rubber stamp his champion status, but he'll more than likely have to fight Povetkin or rematch Haye.
