You can't rank him above Wlad, Chagaev, Maskaev (Peter), Ibragimov (Holyfield) and Valuev just because he KO'd McCline.
If he wins impressively I'd put him in the Top10, but not above the beltholders and Valuev.

Wlad will still be in front of him... and others too. Betting McCline doesn't mean much.

that is not the point. He was #1 when he left. McCline is a big joke, he has nothing to do with it.

No. Young bro and the other champs would probably deserve to rank above him.

Even old WALDO.

Beating Austin and a one eyed Brewster is no more impressve than beating McCline.
Ibragimov should be ranked above Wlad also because he actually holds the lineage of victory over him, he beat Briggs who beat Sergei L who beat Brewster who beat Wlad!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:
According to your logic:
Wlad >>>> Byrd > Vitali ---> Wlad >>>>>>>> Vitali
Wlad >>>>>>>>> Austin = Ibragimov ------> Wlad >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ibragimov

The point is that Ibragimov holds the win over Brewster`s conquerors that means more than Wlads win over a one eyed already beaten Brewster. That was no loss avenged by Wlad it was a turkey shoot.
Austin didnt beat Ibragamov so that argument of yours counts not a jot.
Vitali was number one when he retired and once again is number 1 on his return, he would always beat Wlad who is mercifully ducking him by claiming he is doing it for his mother lol. What kind of champion hides behind a women? lol.
There are others who should be ranked above him.
Even old WALDO.
Vitali would knock Waldo out cold. :smoke

He may be #1 but he needs to take out his brother to get the spot.

I'd rank him above Ibragimov, but not above Chagaev, Wlad and Peter/Maskaev winner.

Agreed.
If he beats mcline, and then Peter if he should get by Oleg then I would say he's #1, nobody wants to fight wlad, he can't even get a decent fight.

If he destroys Mccline, which is almost as automatic as it can get, I'd rank him top 5. The if he dominates Peter or another beltholder and stops him, he moves into the #2 position. Wlad has done too much for Vit to leapfrog him in 2 fights even if people think he would destroy "glass-jawed" wald :nut. Personally, I think Wlad would give Vitali a very tough fight w/movement.

Yeah, but if Vitlai beats McCline I would say he is the betting favorite over Chagaev, Maskev, Peter, Ibragimov, and Valuev. Yes or no?
So while I would not give Vitali the #1 ranking in a ring rating sense based on this one comeback win, I would pick him to beat anyone in the world after the comeback win.

If McCline's knees can hold up it might be a decent fight. He looked good vs Valuev, even though valuev isnt anything to hold the phone about.
I think if you put him in there with Peter or Maskaev he would get up there but how can you rank someone as the top heavyweight who has more ring rust than a spit bucket? I hope he fights his brother, that would be cool.
