While I agree that Vitali has a legit excuse with his injury, I don't think he deserves to get right back in with a title shot. The title itself was considered Vacated and has gone through 2 holders, Hasim Rahman and then Oleg Maskaev.

After two years of inactivity I don't know how any organization can Rank a boxer higher than people that have actually been fighting, regardless of the reason.

Plus Peter has just fought for the WBC Heavyweight Title Eliminator twice, and officially won both times.
