"Lineal" Heavyweight Champion? Let's trace that for a moment just starting with Ali. Ali beats Liston then comes out on top of the Frazier/Norton/Foreman storm. Larry Holmes (And Trevor Berbick) Dismantle Ali and retire him. Mike Spinks beats Holmes. Mike Tyson KO's Larry Holmes, Trevor Berbick, Michael Spinks...plus all of the paper title holders. Mike tyson loses to Busturd Douglas, who loses to Evanderoid "The Preaching baby Daddy" Holyfield. Holyfield is whipped by Lennox Lewis. Lewis KO's Tyson. Vitali Klitchko gets beat down by Lennox Lewis and quits. Vitali buys the paper Championship. Vitali quits against Chris Tyrd then becomes the unofficial president of the WBC. Fights when he wants, who he wants. Retires again. Along the way splits paper belts with Wladimir. Wladimir takes over the tradition, appoints "mandatory" contender that no one has ever heard of before.
Wlad has won one fight in his career, David Haye. Haye was obviously not even 80% and Wlad couldnt even hurt him.

I never said it was Wladimir's fault. However, it's on him to get rid of this guy quickly and give Pulev his shot, then call out Fury or Wilder due to their popularity. If the latter pair doesn't jump at the chance this time, then they can be labelled bitches.
I've been a supporter of Wladimir for a while now, and I had no problem with him fighting Wach, Thompson II or even Pianeta, but this Leapai fight is absolute garbage. If Wladimir truly respects the HW division, he himself should tell the whole world that it's a garbage fight and that he's only doing it to keep the belts.Comment

[QUOTE=PittyPat;14120374]This fight is disgusting and inexcusible, seeing as Pulev has been in line for a title shot for nearly 2 years now. /QUOTE]
Pulev is ranked #10 by the WBO, and is only ranked #1 by the IBF. Leapai is ranked #1 in the WBO after defeating Boystov, who was the previous #1. It's a mandatory, nothing more. I'm not excited by this fight either, but don't hate on Wlad for the WBO rankings. I alos hope he fight Pulev next, or Mitchell, or the Arreola-Stiverne/Fury winner. I think he beats them all.Comment

Just going by the style match up I give this Lee fella a much greater chance of beating Klitschko than Haye for instance. Still reckon Klitschko wins this though.Comment

Wow, the HW division has ****** for so damn long. It is nothing but completely embarrassing to watch. I would never show a non-boxing friend a HW Championship fight because every HW Championship fight that I've seen in the 5+ has made a complete mockery of the sport.Comment

Wlad doesn't need to call anyone out... He holds all the money in the division.Comment
