    Anyone wish Vitali would vacate his belt and let Wlad be the sole, undisputed champ?

    I can't even remember what belt Vitali has but does anyone else wish he would vacate it and let Wladimir fight for it, win it, and be the completely unified HW champ?

    I get it, it's a nice story both brothers in charge but Wlad has really pulled away from Vitali legacy wise, he is THE next great HW post-Lennox.

    I'm not a Vitali fan, I actually think he's overrated and too much of a myth has been built up around him based on a classic tear-up with Lennox.

    Preferably,yes,I would.Wlad is clearly the most accomplished and dominant heavyweight of the last decade,but it would be a fitting touch to a great reign for him to go out with all the belts.




    And when he retires,Sky Sports can put together a quite appropriate video highlight package of Wlad with Carly Simon's "Nobody does it better" playing in the background.

      You actually have it all wrong. VK couldn;t give uo the title to WK. it would be declared vacant and the 2 top available contenders-neither of whom is WK, would fight for it. As to when WK might be able to make a fith with the new Camoion, who knows. He may pull a David Haye, and string it out for years.

      The facts are that WK got mHE who ore title r=than VK purely by the "luck oif the draw". And if WK hadn't taken those championship fights, VK would have taken them and equally wouldhave won ghem and it would be instead of WK who had the most belts. They are as good as each other, each in his different way, and there is nobody around today nor for the past 7-8 years, who could have beaten either of them.

      They have made history several times, and we all should be proud that we were here to witness it. it will be written about in articles and general boxing history for as long as boxing survives, and long after. A unique accomplishment.

        So typical of Wlad fans that they would request Vitali retire and give up the title. Best of Vitali beats beast of Wlad anyday. Recently Wlad has had great success and defeated the best fighters in the division.

        Problem is, the best fighters are not very good...

          Perhaps Vitali will decide to retire before Wlad, thus vacating his WBC strap and letting Wlad take it. I think that should happen, but who knows...

            If Vitali retired Wlad wouldn't need to win the WBC belt, he would be undisputed already because noone can dispute he's the man at HW, certainly not the paper champion the WBC would crown.

              Vitali will probably soon retire and vacate it and then it's all on Wlad.

                I'm pretty sure the brothers have spoken about this, and I think Vitali will vacate at some point and Wlad will fight for it yes.

                  Not at all. Vitali's better, and if Vitali hadn't had so many injury problems Wlad would be the lesser brother holding one belt. Wlad should be thankful Vitali is his brother and they will never fight.
