Vitali's win bad for boxing?

[El Kabong]

If I'm not mistaken the last guy who generated a bunch of intrest in the heavyweight division of the sport besides Lennox Lewis (who had help: Holyfield, Tyson, the Michael Grant, Tommy Morrison, and Shannon Briggs hype machines), and Wladimir (who creates less hype because he has fought nothing but southpaws recently and therefore couldn't just gun for the KO) was Vitali.


With Vitali in there you have a solid brawling big man who will stand and trade with anyone and a fight that is Vitali vs anybody is interesting: Valuev, Ruiz, Lyakhovich, Chagaev, Rahman, McCline, Golota, Brewster, Haye, Dimitrenko, Arreola, even a fight vs a washed up Shannon Briggs would be exciting because if anyone fights Vitali you KNOW he will KO them.

Plus this makes it easier for the brothers to have the belts unified in a way...it's a pick your poison division now Wladimir or Vitali who do I want to get KO'd by?


Rejoice fans of boxing, the heavyweight division has a new virtually undisputed (Damn that Valuev!) champion via The Brothers Klitschko
