By Mikko Salo: The Klitschko Brothers are now The Undisputed Heavyweight Champions with Wladimir holding the Ring Magazine Championship and the IBF, WBA and WBO titles, while Vitali is the WBC titlist. Where does their accomplishment rank in the recent history of the heavyweight division?

By Mikko Salo: The Klitschko Brothers arrived at the professional boxing scene fittingly together, starting their professional careers in the same event in November 1996, Wladimir as a 20-year-old super heavyweight olympic champion, Vitali as a 25-year-old former world kickboxing champion and boxing world championship finalist.

By Mikko Salo: In the aftermath of the Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye megafight, one important aspect of the outcome has been given a fairly small amount of attention. Finally, after several years of suffering through utter disorganization in the heavyweight division, we have Undisputed Heavyweight Champions, who hold The Ring Magazine Championship and all the alphabet titles at the same time: The Klitschko Brothers.

This is my fourth criticism of the sanctioning bodies since February and boxing fans are still are not getting what they deserve from these organizations and their world champions. I am not asking for WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO to have a mandatory challenger in every title fight. Half the time, the mandatory challengers aren’t even that good.
