Proof that Vitali is the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion

[PBDS]

Vitali has no greater claim to the "real" heavyweight championship than Chris Byrd. In fact, given that he lost to Byrd, Byrd's claim at this point seems stronger.

I'd favor Vitali in a rematch, but that doesn't make him the real champ yet.

...With Byrd on a downhill slide, the fact that he was getting spanked before the injury, and the fact that Vit is a better and more confident boxer now, that fight has mismatch written all over it. That is unless Vit reinjures his back or his shoulder in mid fight.

Well, I guess I'd rather have the author of "Get Fuzzy" running the boxing world than Don King...

Funny thing is that "Fuzzy" is the code word for Don King. Thats what the ratings guys in the sanctioning bodies refer to him as, so as to avoid trouble in case of FBI wiretaps, true story.

Vitali isn't even the undisputed WBC champion now though. Especially not after Barrett beats Rahman.

I think that Tyson is the true champion, but he'll need to beat a few of the other contenders to prove it. Maybe we'll see him against #1 contender Lennox Lewis by the end of the year.

is this post from like the early 90's

I was reading the newspaper today and noticed a Vitali reference in the comics section. He was mentioned as "the heavyweight champion of the world" in the strip "Get Fuzzy".

I'm glad I could end this silly little debate.
