    Vitali is a sad case yet simple case. In short the hall of fame is based on what you've done not what you were capable of. Therefore Vitali will not get in the hall. Vitali fought in an era where there wasn't a long list of names to put on your resume. And heavyweights have less leverage because they can't move to another division to look for competition or big names. He can't fight his brother and he never got the Lennox rematch so Vitali was left feasting on guys like Corrie Sanders, Sam Peter, and Chris Arreola, which by the way are his best wins. This isn't enough. In hindsight, Vitali had to finish against Byrd and get a victory over Lennox. There isn't enough ahead in the heavyweight division for Vitali to reasonable add to his resume especially considering his career is twilighting. Its sad because Vitali has the ability to be a major factor against great fighters and easily make it into the hall of fame but his options were extremely limited.

    Well one thing is for certain, his case is stronger now than it was in 2007 when the thread was started.

    He has come back to win a world title for the second time, and has completely dominated all of his opposition.

    He only needs a defining fight to make it in now imo.

    It's kind of hard to say whether he deserves to be there ahead of his brother, but as between them the Klitschko brothers have dominated the heavyweight scene for the last 5 years or so it's really not easy to say they no longer deserve to be there.

    If Vitali (or Wlad for that matter) were to get wins over the most credible opponents, I'd say Povetkin and Haye, then they would merit consideration then I would say.

    Like I've said before, they can't help that thie era is weak, but they aint getting in my hall of fame for beating Peter, Haye or Povetkin

    If Wlad and Vitali fight each other, then the winner should get into the hall of fame

    No. He lost his biggest fight, good effort but still a loss, he quit in arguably his second biggest loss, and now it seems he's ducking Zuri "The Omen" Lawrence.
