    Who Vitali needs to fight for ATG?

    Vitali has only a few fights left. He'll probably box only 2-4 fights, before he retires.

    Who will he need to fight to have a small chance to be remembered as an ATG? Besides Wladimir, that is?

    If you had to name THREE, who would they be?

    My would be Chambers, Povetkin, and the winner of Valuev/Haye.

    I don't know if those three get him there, but who does in the HW division nowadays?

      If Haye wins the title against Vaulev and Vitali then knocked Haye out that would help him.

        the winner of that may have to meet Ruiz first.

          I don't know...

          He hasn't got the competition to make him an ATG. We don't know how he'd fare against great competition.

          He's only fought decent fighters, not many really good ones.

            There ain't the kinda comp necessary for him to be ATG. Not his fault, just how it is.

              Like others here have said there are not many HWs who can further his legacy other than little bro....but still having the highest ko to win ratio of any HW champion ever is nothing to scoff at and may earn him some level of ATG distinction.

                Yea and now they are throwing in Makaev, that won't really help. He'll destroy Johnson just as easy, but atleast he's younger and more game than Maskaev.

                  I'll give him David Haye. If Tyson can get boosted up for beating Michael Spinks, who was undefeated at the time and beat Larry Holmes for the title....and Marciano can be boosted up to ATG status for beating past prime LHs....Vitali can get some credit for the former CW Champion David Haye.

                    Povetkin, Chambers and Haye are the only worthy contenders in the division. He beats all of those but Povetkin and Chambers will not fight him they have shots at Wlad's title who is seen as the easier option.
                    Haye might if he gets past Valuev and Ruiz. Might be too late by then though.
