    Before calling me a hater, please answer the question. Maybe Tony Tubbs had a similar resume, but cant think of many others.

    Other than Stiverne and arguably Scott, his resume is filled with stiffs.

    Vitali Klitschko?

    When he won his WBO title, he had a very weak resume

    Theres lots of guys with weak resumes who pick up belts

    George foremans record was pretty bad before he beat Frazier, only notable win was chuvalo. His last fight before a title shot was a guy who'd lost his last 5. 2 fights before that he fought a guy who was 3-24-1, had esb been around back then foreman would have been slaughtered for his opposition.

    I forgot about Bentt, yeah wow was his resume weak. Arguably the easiest career for a world title holder.

    Sir Nickolay Valuev's resume was very thin when he won a belt by "beating" John Ruiz with the help of Don King judges.

    His only decent win at that time was Larry Donald who kicked his arce but was robbed

    OP just got proven wrong over and over again.

    There's been multiple other belt holders with worse resume's... get over it.
