    I'm sure it is Wlad at HW:
    Byrd (twice)
    Ibragimov
    Chagaev
    Tony Thompson (twice)

    I think there must be few names from lighter divisions in this thread.

    Roy beat the most I believe, also I'm pretty sure Roy went a span of 3 years? I think where he only fought southpaws.

    High quality...................eh.

    Yes. Much as i dislike Wlad, it isn't even close. At HW, he beat better ones than anyone before him. or after him for that matter.

    Wladimir is a good pick heres some others off the top of my head.

    Erik Morales = Manny Pacquiao, Paulie Ayala, Daniel Zaragoza, Kevin Kelley, Remigio Molina.

    Bernard Hopkins = Antonio Tarver, John David Jackson, Syd Vanderpool, Keith Holmes, Carl Daniels, Robert Allen x3, Winky Wright.

    You nailed it. I was going to say these two. Mayweather overall, but Wlad in a landslide at heavyweight only.
