Who does Vitali have to beat...

[Bombardier]

...to be considered once and for all the current reigning heavyweight champ?

Everyone with a belt

for me personally no one but guess he should take on the others and try and unify, why not, not a lot else for him to do is there?
Toney not big enough though he is talented enough, tyson shot, lewis retired, williams beaten, who else Krasniq, jeez that would be worse than Williams..rahman maybe I suppose then set up unifying the belts.

he is the best out there as far as i am concerend tho.

[Bombardier]

I meant for this thread to be a poll but I messed it up. My options were going to be:

-Ruiz
-Byrd
-Toney
-Tyson
-Lennox has to come out of retirement
-None - There are no good fighters out there to match him up against
-None - There's nothing more he needs to do
-None - He will never be considered the true champ

Feel free to pick one of these or make up something else.

I don't really care as to me it doesn't mean a great deal being the no.1 heavyweight in the current division but I would like to see him and his brother go to war - but apparently there mummy won't let them!

Too bad it won't happen, as long as DK is running most of the show.

Why Don King would love it more money for him

Problem is he tried the same thing with the middles and got burned when Hopkins ran away with all the titles. Memories of that must still gnaw at him. He must be feeling the pressure right now though to match up one of his guys with Vitali, from the press, from other promoters, from the networks, and probably from the fighters themselves.

.....He doesn't have anbody to beat to prove now that he is the best. He is the best out there right now as is period. Destroying Byrd or Ruiz would do nothing to change his status and both fights would be a foregone conclusion and non competitive. When he is recognized my most as the man there is no need to unify and try to compromise with King. He doesn't need King, Ruiz, or Byrd to prove anything. He should take on Rahman to expose him as the one punch fraud that he is, shut Toney's big mouth for good, and then smack down a couple of the young guns that are up and coming(ie: Peter). He should leave the other belt holders(pretenders) to Wlad if he ever gets his **** together. Nobody can touch Vit right now and baring an injury his reign will be long.

He has to unify all the belts if he has all the belts then that means he is undisputed. Beat all the top guys.
