      He deserves to be in. It will enhance Lummox's legacy.

          Vitali Klitschko is a footnote on Lennox Lewis' legacy.

          Losing to Lennox Lewis is the highlight of Vitali Klitschko's career.

              He shouldn't but probably will.

              And I completely disagree with those that claim he dominated a weak era, no his brother did whilst Vitali retired and defended against soft opposition.

              Its sad as I am a fan but his resume sucks and he undeniably fought weak opposition when there was far better available, instead he left those to his little brother.

                  Wladimir clearly was the one dominating whilst Wladimir fought the Sosnowski's of the world.

                  Does his title reign make him deserving though?

                      Wladimir was fighting Haye, Chagaev, Peter, Thompson etc whilst Vitali was fighting Chisora, Gomez, Adamek, Peter (post Wlad and after a loss to Toney) Sosnowski, Briggs & Charr

                      The saddest part is those are among his best wins. Waste of talent in truth, he was better than that.

                              Vitali was never really interested in legacy imo, he was always too busy building up his lil bro.

                                  Certainly. He is among the longest reigning HW champs in history and was very dominant.

                                      I think he does deserve it. If the resume is not impressive it because there haven't been and HW good enough to beat him. The last was Lennox Lewis
