I must admit I never actually thought he would return.

With Wladimir now set to become the universally recognised champ I thought that there would be even less chance.

I'm actually really suprised he's coming back.

What will happen if they both hold title belts? Will they unify against each other? I hardly see that happening at all.

Personally I'd rather he just stayed retired. His coming back will only add to the confusion in the heavyweight division.

If Vitali comes back and beats Maskaev which less face it is a 99.9% certainty then we'll end up with both him and his brother going for half the titles each.

Thery sure as hell won't want to fight each other so the division would never be unified as long as they remained champs.

Let him retry and become Mayor of Uzbeckistan or whatever it was he failed to do last year.
