Byrd , Chambers and Haye no mark in the HW scene that will be remembered.
Your defeating your own argument.

Thomas, Berbick, Thomas, Tubbs, Tucker... someone needed to hold those belts.

If people compare Haye his power to Wlad to be somewhat equal and sparring partners regulary say Wlad hit them the hardest ever that means atleast one very big thing.
Not counting Roy Jones, Haye might be the fastest heavyweight since Tyson or Dokes too.

Tier 1: Ali, Tyson, Lewis
Tier 2: Wlad, Vitali, Holmes, Louis
Tier 3: Liston
Tier 4: Frazier, Foreman, Holyfield

Maybe 4th tier: Tunney (cut-off for time period I'm willing to consider), Witherspoon, Marciano, Charles, Michael Spinks, Roy Jones (no really, he might beat some of the guys on the list)
No: Bowe, Norton, Patterson, Pinklon Thomas, Byrd

The nail isn't in the coffin yet: David Haye, David Price

i think a lot depends of the distance of the fight, if 15 rounds, then FOTC frazier would be great h2h.

i think riddick bowe that fought holyfield the first time does very well, i think he can match lennox, and it would be a 50/50 fight.
