This is why I believe that Vitali hasnt retired because the brothers realise that if Wlad alone had all the titles there are fighters that Vitali has faced that Wlad may struggle with and he would not keep up the schedule of defences for long.

The one thing that cannot be denied about Mike Tyson is he cleaned the division up and was willing and able to hold on to all the titles until King ruined him as a fighter.
I think we'll see Vitali retire soon, and then we'll see an undisputed heavyweight champion. What I don't really understand is why that will make Wladimir more impressive if only to add another credential to his already deep CV. Right?

If you look at the active heavyweights, Wladimir should face Povetkin and Pulev (assuming he beats Thompson). I guess I wouldn't be mad at a fight with Solis either, if he could string together some solid wins.
