    Douglas won all of one good fight in his career, Stewart won none. I guess you could mention them, but I don't see what it adds to his resume. It would be like including Ray Austin when you try to say how great Wladimir's resume is.

    I don't quite have Holyfield in my top ten, despite the fact I'm a great admirer of the man. He was a top flight heavyweight for a decade but there are other fighters more deserving of a top ten spot, in my opinion.

    Marciano's not in it either. He fought an ancient Jersey Joe Walcott to capture the title and also in his first defence and took on a 33 year old Ezzard Charles twice as well as Archie Moore who was nudging 40. Other than his 49-0 his record doesn't stand up too well to close scrutiny.

    Austin wasn't a big favorite to beat Wlad,at the time it was a good victory.Other good ones are against the brazilizan guy at the begginging of his HW run and even Tillis.I see his resume as very deep really.
