    Wladimir Beat 5 of them and probably the 11th till 15th. Vitali Beat
    No One. Wlads resume looks better and better with time. He has a lot of quality wins, Schulz, mercer, mccline, botha, byrd, Peter, brock, Rahman, Thompson, chambers, Ibragimov, Chagaev, haye. Thats imo pretty impressive. Vitali resume is extremly thin

    1) Lennox (even though i think he had 6 or 7 fights)
    2) Fedor (best fighter on the planet until he lost his last 3 fights . . . many thought he was unbeatable)
    3) SNV (Many feels he is the GOAT . . . but I think only since LL left the game
    4)
    5)
    6) My Cousin Bob . . . best bar room brawler I have ever seen
    7)
    8)
    9) WK
    10) VK

    The question should be the: 10 least worse Heavyweights of 2000s. your question implies by using the word best that there is something good in the Heavyweight division over the past 10 years . . . which we all know, deep down inside, that this is clearly not the case.

    Yeah, Wlad ranks quite a bit higher than his brother. Vitali“s comeback was very impressive though.

    @ those who rank Lewis and Vitali nr. 1 and nr.2


    who the **** did they beat to be ahead of Wlad?

    Wlad is by far the best Hw of 2000's and there shouldn't be any debate about it, his resume clearly shits all over Lennox and big Vit

    Truthfully, anyone below number 4 is pretty interchangeable with each other. I'm sure there are another 10 or so heavies that could be ranked somewhere between 5 and 30... and the difference between 5 and 30 is fairly small. It isn't the weakest heavyweight decade, in my opinion, but it is toward the bottom. As all my lists go, this is based on resume, not head to head. Resume is mostly objective, head to head subjective. Resume wins.

    1.) Wlad
    2.) Lewis
    3.) Vitali
    4.) Byrd
    5.) Brewster
    6.) Chagaev
    7.) Toney
    8.) Ruiz
    9.) Povetkin
    10.) Chambers
    11.) Peter
    12.) Rahman
    13.) Valuev
    14.) Maskaev
    15.) Brock
    16.) Ibragimov
    17.) Liakhovich
    18.) Tua
    19.) Johnson
    20.) Oquendo
    21.) Sanders
    22.) Holyfield
    23.) Barrett
    24.) McCline
    25.) Golota

    Wlad, Vitali, Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson and Holmes all fought in the 00s yet it's considered a weak era :huh:deal

    I'll post my top 10 later on. I have Wlad, Vitali, Lewis and Byrd in the top 4 spots
