Ring Magazine Heavyweight Champion

[GuyIncognito76]

So, I was just looking at The Ring ratings, and, of course, there is no Heavyweight Champion.

Wladimar is #1 and Vitali is #2.

Now those two are never going to fight each other so there can't be a championship match there but it says that in certain cases (and this would sure seem to be one) when #1 can fight #3 which is Chagaev and he's in "recess" so I guess my question is...

When will the ever be a Ring Heavyweight Champion, and if you must does it really matter?

Well I think Wladimir has to be THE MAN in the division as he has held his title for the longest AND he has 2 titles where as Vitali and whoever the WBA champ is (Valuev or Chagaev) only have one.

I expect Wladimir will be THE unified heavyweight champion once Vitali wins the WBA belt and then retires.

Wladimir is only 32 so he could just now be hitting his prime so we can expect another 5-8 years of him being the champion bar another experience like he had with Sanders.

#1 and # can fill a vacancy only when there very little difference between #2 and #3. I dont think that is the case here. There is a huge drop off in quality from Vitali to Chagaev.

I don't think Wladimir will last another 5-8 years, he could physically, but I wouldn't be surprised if these two retire into the sunset together keeping in mind that incest in best.

Who is there out there?

There aren't any dynamic fighters after The Klitschko's in the heavyweight division

A certain Mr Haye would have something to say about that.

OMG i didnt realise Wlad was still only 32

[Dark Lord Al]

I really want Ruiz to get a shot , but not at the lumbering GIANT , at either Wlad or Vitali , cos i wanna see him KOED for all the boring shit we have had to put up with over the years.
