    Just an injured David Haye and neither guy was that impressive or lived upto ther pre fight talk or predictions, that's his only elite level win in recent years

    Until Wlad beats Muhammed Ali he will never get any credit. Ali's era is the only elite era according to a lot of people on this site, despite virtually all the guys from the era losing to numerous bums.

    This little fella was a 7 time Ring yearly top 10 fighter back then. Clearly Haye or somebody from this era would have no chance back them to crack the top 10.

    He's not consensus top 10. Top 10 in one sanctioning body is not top 10. Anyway, this is about the heavyweight division which doesn't have guys coming up in weight to it as often and people rarely go down to cruiser. The ranks are more consistent, so top consensus top 10 guys can reasonably be assumed elite fighters.

    Holyfield was done when he got beat of Lennox twice (yes twice). I think the Tyson fights papered over the cracks but he was terrible against Moorer, knocked out v Bowe, looked normal against Mercer etc. He never really got back to his best although he was still a top boxer. Beating Valuev told you more about how bad Valuev was than how good Holy was at the time.

    wtf
    Who said Byrd's best win is Golota? what a moron. Kid Dynamite got ass ****ed now he disappeared and it's your turn.
    Brewster KO Golota 1, Austin KO Golota 1, and all these fighter got crushed by Wladimir.

    Only two are elites in that list and I'm a Klitschko fan. Brock and Byrd. In the end, it's not Wladimir's problem the division is lacking, he fights everyone available to fight.

    Wake up ! Vlad has beaten the cream of the crop of challengers, the best ever seen. Tony Thompson, Chris Byrd among others. People talk about the `70`,s era. Lyle, Norton, Shavers, Foreman, Ali, Frazier , how could they ever compete against the animals Vlad had to face ???

    WTF are you talking about Genius?

    Brewster had just KTFO'ed Baby Klitschko two fights prior to him KO'ing Golota.

    Baby Klit didn't work up enough nerve to rematch Brewster until he was coming off *eye surgery* and a 1 year layoff.

    You Klit lickers need to S T O P with the BS...
