    Anyway that is only my opinion, what do you guys on here think? Is there a man who you can 100% without any doubt call the Heavyweight champion of the world right now?
    The Man in a way like those mentioned...Tyson, Ali, Lewis etc...well No TBH it is pretty damn hard to be as dominate as those 3 were in their primes.....

    With that being said you would have to give the honors to Wlad at the moment..he is the most dominate one on the division...He avenged one of his 3 losses....He has somewhat unified a portion of the titles....So as of the moment he is the #1 man in the division....

    Though IMO Vitaly is the best in the division...Wlad is the most accomplished
    But to me when Vitali retired he was the man, he came back and (in my eyes) there was no man and won the same title he vacated 4 years earlier so wouldn't that make him the man? Or at least give him more right to that throne?

    The title is vacant and will remain vacant; however, Wlad has the best claim.

    Not in my opp...I do not believe that a fighter can leave then come back after such a long layoff to just reclaim their ststus when they left...It takes away from all the accomplishments of the fighters who worked hard in their absense..

    EG- If PBF announced his return tommorow I would not put him as P4P #1 and remove Pacquiao or Calzaghe from their spots on the list....

    Wlad has proven the most so you have to give it to him.

    However, after the Rogan fight Audley said it was almost there, so if he tries a little harder he'll be "the man".

    The Klitschko's if they won't fight eachother should be considered a unified figher of sorts, and in that sense they are definitely "THE" champion, but it also means that if they are considered seperately that there will never be a champion as long as they continue to dominate the division/ nobody can beat both of them/ nobody can beat Vitali.

    Lol only 10? I was thinking of starting my own governing body! Only problem is what would I call them? Maybe the IWBFCOA! Or is that already taken? Could just award Evander the HW title then and he'd be a 5 time champ lol
