Is that your only argument? So Wlad has a brother and has refused to fight his brother and vice versa and THAT hinders his legacy

That's bullshit is what it is.
Vitali will retire and Wlad will run the division by himself for as long as he likes at this rate
It's not an argument it's a 100% truth.
Their legacies have been harmed because they couldn't meet after clearly establishing themselves as the top two heavyweights in the world. It's not just a slight passing of champions either. They have been top dogs for YEARS!!!
You can't claim to be champion without fighting your closest rival. The worst thing that ever happened to Wlad was Vitali coming back from retirement. Wlad would have been an absolute standout champion, at this current point in time, without Vitali's presence.
However, we'll never know, in the era of Wlad and Vitali, who the TRUE heavyweight champion of the world was. Fact.
