    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.

    If he beats his next opponent then I'd say yes, he's a hall of ffamer.

    Even if it's not Zuri Lawrence?

    .....but we all know he's going to beat his next opponent. That would definitely anti-climatic.
