But come on, we all know the Heavyweight champion is "the champ", the pinnacle of the sport, the king of manliness.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you there. What the Klitchko's are the kings of manliness because they happen to be 6'8 tall? Manny Paquiao could never fight in the heavyweight division, no matter how much he bulked up, because he's too short - does that make him less manly? Does that make him worse at his sport?
I think most fans would agree with me - guys like Paquiao, Mayweather and De La Hoya are bigger draws than the Klitschkos could ever hope to be, and why? - because they're better, ie they're the top guys in their sport (or have been, at various times).
