    Recently I've come to my own conclusion on the belt situation:

    NONE OF THEM MATTER

    the Ring was IMO the best for a while, and it's still the most unbiased ranking system, I think Corrie Sanders is really the 1 big mistake that the Ring rankings system made, but keep in mind that Wladimir was "The Next Big Thing" and Corrie's W looked really good at the time, a #3 ranking maybe was too high but not exactly criminal....

    also remember that Sanders BOUGHT his WBC #2 ranking to get the Vitali fight, he dumped the WBO belt, went to the WBC convention, made some "donations" and automatically became the #2 contender....

    what was the question again???

      Everything fell apart with Ring Magazine and HBO when Wladimir got Ko'd, HBO thought he was god, the ring thought he was god...

      Everyone was just waiting for him to take over....9 times out of 10 there policy will work-but in order for it to work they have to have the right guys at the top and in a division as ****ty and crazy as the HW division it is easy to see how they have ****ed themsleves.

      I had Wlad at number 1 and thought he was pretty ****ing good, I wanted to see that Chin tested though (thanks corrie) but I still thought besides LL he was the man and would have been my #1 guy-looking back which we can only do for fun he wasnt the man and now we may or may not have a ****ty Champ because of the ranking.

      VK is Ring champ because they overhyped his brother more so than him.

Seriously though, it's a done deal now so who gives a **** if they made a mistake? Did they deviate form their normal rules and that's what you call a mistake then yes. If ring magazine has the best heavyweight in the world as their recognized champ and they chose Vitali then no it's not a mistake.

          This coming from a 41 year old low class moron who obviously believes Karma meters are of grave importance.

          A guy who at 41 years old belongs to an online "alliance" and sends people private messagers threatening to "Crush" them.

          The point of the thread was to ask if they made a mistake in giving their title to Klitschko on a fight with Corrie Sanders.

          Now after that, your assertion that Klitschko is the best Heavyweight in the world carries no credibility, because you're a flaming Klitschko nut hugger.

          He's the best in the world based on his losses to Byrd and Lewis?

          Or is it based on his only noteworthy wins over Johnson, Sanders and Donald?

          Or is it based on the one defense he's made so far over Danny Williams?

          Or is it based on the newsletter from your "Alliance"?


          The bottom line is that like the other title holders, Klitschko hasn't beaten anyone impressive, and has been fairly inactive.

          No one at Heavyweight deserves the Ring belt right now.

            2003-06-21 Lennox Lewis 24.5 months ago
            2003-12-06 Kirk Johnson 19 months ago
            2004-04-24 Corrie Sanders 14.5 months ago
            2004-12-11 Danny Williams 7 months ago

            As you can see, Vitali fought roughly every 6 months until his back injury that will result in only a 9 month layoff.

            Bozo has posted that Vitali only had one fight (with Danny Williams) in the last 14 months. As you can see, the truth is that Vitali fought 7 months ago, fought 2 fights in the last 14.5 months and 3 fights in the last 19 months.

            This is just one example of how ridiculous Bozo's claims are, making it seem as though Vitali went 14 months between fights. Knowing he is willing to stretch the truth to fit his agenda proves everything he says must be questioned for it's credibility.

            This just further proves Bozo's objective is not to debate the topic, but to get on the nerves of Klitschko fans and he will say or do anything to accomplish that goal including lie. Now watch this loser say "I'm just a girly delusional Klitschko fan" even though I've provided facts that prove he's a fraud.

              I see that once again, you are unable to comment on the content of what I said, and are back to posting your tired contrived spiteful defensive bull ****.

              He's fought ONCE in the last 14 months.

              The point is, he's been INACTIVE, and since winning the ring belt agaisnt Corrie Sanders (see point of the thread) he's defended it ONCE agaisnt Danny Williams (see the point of the thread.

              As I already mentioned, your input isn't welcome here, because your opinion is evident in your photo, avatar and signature.

              Either address the question of the thread, or take your spiteful and wounded crying elswhere).

                It's astonishing that it took about 20 mins for the top two Klitschko fanatics to get into this thread to start crying up a storm.

                Both were unable to formulate an opinion on my post or answer the question, they both just leaped to the defensive.

                I think the fact two of his biggest undying fans on this site getting so immediatly defensive and spiteful speaks for itself.

                Obviously, this hits a nerve.

                  Its seems that brewster should be named Champion. He KO'd Golota who 2 other title holders just barley made it past, KO'd Wlad who had been ranked in the top 4 for the past few years. Brewster, fights tough fights, and wins convencingly. not to mention his 3rd title defense is already scheduled since beating Wlad at the end of 2004

                    That's why I made my comment. I knew there would be a few people that wouldn't really stick to the basics of what you said and would take issue with a few other things.

                      Meehan wasn't really a convincing win.
