Unintentional Sarcasm?!
No it wasn't LOL but i think i did word that wrong, what im basically saying is that even though Larry Holmes did have better opposition. And was more exciting, he like the Klitschko brothers struggled to find opposition especially in the 80's.

And thats why he got so much hate, even though he couldn't help it. He got alot of stick for fighting bums, not being exciting. Not being like Muhammad Ali ETC.

Although in recent years like Lennox Lewis he's got more appeciated. Maybe that will happen for the Klitschko brothers if they continue to reign without losing.

I can definitely agree with you to an extent.
As you've said with regards to the likes of Holmes & Lewis: You can only beat what is on front of you.

The point I make is that, while Lewis & Holmes were both the 'man' in their respective eras, this era is yet to have a definitive Champion. Which is a frustrating scenario when you consider the potential of a mega fight akin to as any Mega-a-fight as you care to mention along with clearly defining a division.

To be fair jim, what more does vitali have to dto prove himself as this eras definitive champion??
