If Vitali beats Rahman?

If Vitali beats Rahman, will he gain some respect from the Anti-Klitschkos?

If not, what does he have to do to quiet the nay sayers?

[ProBox1]

He won't quiet anyone until he faces off with Byrd. Once he beats Byrd then most but not all, will give him his due. Beating Ruiz will get him some props and love from the entire boxing community if the beating is bad enough.

I agree, But if he beats Rahman the phrase 'Vitali Klitsko is the best heavyweight today' will have more ground.

[Neuraxis]

The fact of the matter is that even if Vitali keeps on winning, he will never get the respect that he deserves.

dont know about that, like LL said, their nothing but B-class boxers, that just shows how theres not enough competition in the heavyweight division

[kevvy1979]

If he does what LL could not do ,and KO him in the first ever meeting,then should be no doubt left.

Even if he beats the **** out of Ruiz, Byrd, Rahman and Lewis i dont think he will get the respect he deserves.

Especially not from americans, i think they have problems with the champ being not only white but east-european.

I agree...

For a moment there, I thought you were gonna say if we'll respect Williams more. But for your question, I guess it would defend on what Rahman would show up or how's the fight gonna be.
