    I would be wrong in the way I said that. Wlad MAY have fought equal or even better competition, but Vitali fought his fights like a champion, defending his title. Wlad on the other hand, fought like someone trying to prove something and EVEN after all that he's fought, he still has TONS to prove. I would rather have said, Vitali proved more with what he did and the people he fought. At the time of his reign, there wasn't much to fight and when he finally had someone to fight, he started to fall apart. But neither has done much to solidify a GREAT reign, I just think that being a champion has a lot to do with how you win fights, not just who you fight.
    HAHAHA...

    Quitali Quitschko defended his WBC and Ring title once, against Danny Williams. Then he cancelled his Rahman fight four times and retired.

    Wlad has already defended his IBF belt three times, against undefeated Brock (higher regarded than Williams), crap mandatory Austin, and getting his revenge against Brewster.

      Wladimir Klitschko. He worked on his skills and improved as a fighter with Emanuel Steward in the corner. Wlad makes his mandotory and defended his title by KO (3times) since he wone the title in 2006.

        Most criticize his level of opponents, but since his loss in 2004, Wlad fought 7 times. Those 7 times consisted of:

        1 After his loss to Brewster, he faced another dangerous 6'4 puncher (22 wins, 19 KOs) Williamson
        3 undefeated opponents (Castillo, Peter, Brock)
        1 Fight for the championship (Byrd)
        1 Mandatory defense (Austin)
        1 Redemption rematch (Brewster)

        A total record of his post Brewster loss opposition is 187-10-6
        Ray Austin - being the mandatory, had the worst record of all 24-3-4

          WLAD hands down, but it would've been Vitali if not for the injuries

            Vitali.. He defended against the better competition, in my personal opinion. Wlad has beaten Ray Austin (pathetic) and then two guys that he already fought. One that he beat in the first fight and the other against a guy who SHOULD have beat, but just fought the wrong kind of fight against. I like Wlad and think he COULD (has as good a shot as anyone in the division today) of cleaning up the division. I'm just saying, other than Calvin Brock, and Sam Peter (who someone could make the argument, that before Sam had even reached his prime, gave Wlad a pretty good ass kicking) his brother just edges him out, to me.
            Vitali defended the belt one time and that was aginst Danny Williams...Yeah great competition

            His WBO reign was against Ed Malon, Herbie Hide and Obed Sullivan

            Wlad has faced Lamon Brewster 1-1 with

            Chris Byrd, Calvin Brock, Jameel McCline, Frans Botha and Monte Barrett

            BUT THAT DANNY WILLIAMS SURE TAKES A HELL OF A BEATING?
