    Call em!

    As I see it...

    Byrd I
    Povetkin
    Haye
    Ibragimov
    Chagaev
    Byrd II
    McCline (he was on a good roll!)
    Thompson I
    Peter I
    Chambers

    Rahmen, Mercer and Brewster were very good names, but I think washed by the time he got to them. I thought about Peter II and Thompson II. Also considered Pulev.

    I wish i could count Povetkin as a "win". Should have been a disqualification loss for Wlad.

    But yes, i agree with your list. Seconded.

    Would you like to suggest a replacement fight? I intend to do a final tally of answers, so your vote matters. It you think it should have been a DQ, then it should have been a DQ.

    If you bump Povetkin off, replace the 10th spot with Brewster. Yes, Brewster was past it but he was dangerous and it is the only loss he avenged. So a #10 spot for Brewster makes sense.

    Byrd I
    Haye
    Ibragimov
    Chagaev
    Byrd II
    McCline (he was on a good roll!)
    Thompson I
    Peter I
    Chambers
    Brewster

    For my money:

    1.) Byrd II
    2.) Pulev
    3.) Chagaev
    4.) Eddie Chambers
    5.) Povetkin
    6.) Peter II
    7.) McCline
    8.) Haye
    9.) Brewster II
    10.) Byrd I

    The biggest knock on Wlad is that he didn't have any win that I would classify as being a signature, all time great victory, the way Ali, Foreman, Dempsey etc. do

    But what he does have going for him is an abundance of very nice wins good contenders

    Brewster II is like
    Lucas Browne beating Chaggy
    Dillian Whyte beating Povetkin
    Cooney beating Norton
    Holmes beating Ali
    Briggs - Mercer etc

    Even Biko Botowamungu was a better win than half blind , medically unfit to box Brewster 2

    I agree. But I don’t see Haye as being all that high . Maybe on the lower end of Wlads top 10
