    It has been a long road for the Klitschko brothers but finally, with the vanquishing of their bitter rival David Haye (25-2, 23 KO’s), thanks to the jab of the younger sibling Wladimir Klitschko (56-3,49KOs), they have fulfilled their dream of holding all four versions of the heavyweight title.

    Never more has their dominance over the heavyweight division been more complete. And yet the success of the Klitschko’s spells the doom of a division that has long been in decline. A decline that began with the fading of the great American heavyweights, the last of witch were vanquished by Lennox Lewis, fighters like Tyson, Holyfield and Bowe. It is unfortunate for the brothers that their time at the pinnacle of the noble art has been marked by an absence of any quality heavyweights.
