Heavyweight champions from the year 2000 to today

never ducked anyone

 

true but as someone who just started taking up boxing late as **** and lacks pure talent, he sure motivates and inspires me

 

but the wild thing about it was this

it worked

 

Ok before i do these lists from what i've gathered from your post.

Holyfield become a champion in 2001 so i can include his resume from before 2000s aswell ? as i believe you've stated unless i'm not reading it correctly ?


List the 5 you rate the highest historically

1. Lewis
2. Wladimir
3. Holyfield
4. Usyk
5. Vitali

List which 5 you feel have the best singular win

1. Rahman beating Lewis
2. Holyfield beating Tyson
3. Sanders beating Wladimir
4. Lewis beating Vitali
5. Fury beating Wladimir

List which 5 you feel have had the best reigns

1. Lewis
2. Wladimir
3. Holyfield
4. Usyk
5. Vitali


List the 5 who you feel are the best

1. Lewis
2. Wladimir
3. Holyfield
4. Usyk
5. Vitali

So have i got this right with the lists ? @bailey let me know.

 

Klitschko defeated Byrd twice, and also has wins over Peter x 2, Ibragimov, Rahman, Chagaev and Haye.

 

Holyfield never beat Tyson in the 21st century.

And why do you rank his 21st century reign so high? He lost to John Ruiz in his first WBA defense.

 

Read the OP's post.

"Take their overall careers, not just from the start of the century if their careers started before then."

 

Good points but I meant exciting due to the quality of the opponent, now necessarily that it was an exciting guy he beat.
