      They need to fight each other and stop using the "Brother" excuse.

      In any other walk of life where can that be used for UNDERACHIEVING?

          They should never fight each other. Lots of other people to fight:

          Valuev
          Haye
          Chagaev
          Gomez
          Walker
          Arreola
          Dimitrenko
          Povetkin
          Johnson
          Chambers
          Minto
          *****ko

            And when they beat all those people. Then what?

            They need to fight each other. They should get it out of the way and then the other one can clean out the division.

              The term "pound for pound" isn't literal, it just means relative to your weight class. At heavyweight, Chris Byrd didn't get more consideration than the Klitchkos despite the vast size difference. You're just judged as a heavyweight on the P4P lists.

                the Klitschko brothers are really the only two good guys in the Heavyweight division, so unfortunately theyd probebly have to fight each other to get p4p status kind of credit...

                then again, if either one of them knocks out Valuev, I think they might have a great chance of getting on the p4p list. aside from it being a fairly good win in itself, it would look awesome, and looking awesome is pretty much how you get on the p4p list...whats more, the Klitschko brothers would have beaten someone whos actually bigger than themselves, which would turn some heads.

                    Interestingly, Wlad had a lot of fights at close to 225. Most of his opponents were close to the same weight as he was, and you'll be surprised at how many weighed more! For example, Purrity was 25 pounds heavier.

                    Wlad isn't as big as people say he is, and he said on Conan O'Brian's show his height is between 6'5" and 6'6", which makes him close to the same height as Lewis.
