    The former undisputed WBA (Super), WBO, WBC, Ring Cruiserweight champion in David Haye to become WBA Heavyweight Champion.

    He beat Chris Byrd to become WBO Champ, and then again to become IBF Champ. Ruslan Chagaev to become Ring and Lineal Champ. Sultan Ibragimov to become WBO champ again. Samuel Peter to become WBO, NABF, NABO champ. . . . you asked who.

    He is the second longest reigning heavyweight champion of all time, and has 23 title defences behind Joe Louis. He also won Olympic Gold.

    To say Wlad is NOT an ATG is :nut

    The problem with the Klitschkos is that they were in an era when BOTH of them were number 1 and 2. It was detrimental to their resume that they didn't fight each other.

    Normally in the heavyweight division you only get a couple of top fighters at any one time and THEY were the couple that ruled after Lennox Lewis.

    mAYWEATHER has wins over 3 guys on that list. How many has Wlad? None.

    How many p4p fighters has Wlad beaten? None. How many has Floyd? A lot. 10 , possibly more.

    Would you say Wlad is an ATG fighter at heavyweight that's achieved more than most others who have ever stepped in the division?

    Nah.
    An ATG has to exhibit a great set of skills against top quality opposition.

    Nobody said he was an ATG. The only 2 ATG's of the last generation are Mayweather and Pacquaio. Whitaker, Hopkins, JCC and Jones from the generation before.

    Donaire does have a resume and accomplishments unmatched though. He's clearly one of the best fighters of the last generation, and if you don't think so then you dksab.

    He wormed his way out of boxing by illegally holding half the time.

    But has he achieved more than nearly every other man that's graced the division, his fighting style aside?

    What accomplishments ? His best wins were always against tiny guys a division lower. Got his clocked cleaned by the two best guys he faced.
