great boxer? maybe not. competition weak? yes. but wlad has become a very skilled fighter. tall , fast , power, accurate... (i still think Vit. was/is better)
Yup, I totally agree that Wlad is the current best in the division, BUT, Valuev won't fight him unless the money is as big as himself, because he's making enough fighting some of the weaker contenders in what is a blatantly a very weak division at the moment. The problem is, why would any of the other titlists fight Klitschko unless the money is career-making or their coaches are so misguided to build them up too much?
They must know they'd be walking into a losing fight, and losing their version of the heavyweight title.

And that's my tuppence-worth
