    Agree to disagree then.Rahman fought the best he could.The others mainly didn't.

    Rahman wasn't the weakest champion even of the 00's - never mind 'recent times'.

    He holds a win over LENNOX LEWIS - ok it was an anomaly, but still you can never take that away from him.

    Sure, his opposition is better than most of the other "weak" titleholders but what does it really matter if he didn't do **** after that one punch? Well, anyway because of his level of opposition I'm not saying he is _the_ weakest but definitely _one_ of the weakest ("Flop 5" at least).

    At least Maskaev KO'ed Rahman and wasn't handed a title.

    Think of another HW champ that Seldon could beat? There you go.

    Wow a lot of europeans on the list. Fair one but hey lets look at the last 20 years only 2 fighters who have dominated properly. Lennox and Holyfield all the rest are weak.

    I'd say the guy that Peter beat to win his title was worse.

    But Seldon and Bentt are right on par with any of them.
