    If Wladimir Klitschko were to beat WBA champ David Haye, Thomas Adamek, and (ten year #1 ranked contender) Alexander Povetkin... which victory out of his entire career, including these, would go down as his greatest? Since he "obviously" doesn't have hall of fame credentials...:patsch..according to some people.......... who would it be?

    I don't think we'll know the answer to that for another 8 years minimum. Povetkin and Haye are only 30 and heavies seem to peak late these days.

    Yeah you're right but as of now, I would still go with Haye, because his accomplishments at cruiserweight make him a way better name and talent than the rest of the HW field.. including those who Klitschko beat.... That doesn't mean Kiltschko hasn't beat anyone, it just how Haye stacks up to me right now... and I don't even like David Haye, I just think his resume makes him the top guy on Wlad's list....

    Adamek is the more accomplished of the 3. However his size would degrade the win.
    Haye is an overrated power puncher so not much there other than hype
    Povetkin we dont know yet how good he really is.

    Either of those wins really is just going to fuel the haters. Haters will always hate man. Its their mother****ing job!!

    Haye I guess. Pretty average.

    Maybe Rahman is his most notable win, but he was shot and ****. Just famous for one punch.

    Either Chris Byrd or Ruslan Chagaev. I´d lean slightly to Byrd myself.

    You know, I was thinking Chris Byrd too.. he would fall second after Haye.. then Adamek (only because of his size)...

    Adamek has the most accomplishments, even though I think Haye would knock him out, Adamek has paid his dues. Haye would be second, and Povetkin third. Povetkin has been getting alot of rest and inactivity, but he's in his prime and he has a good trainer in Atlas so Povetkin should come out guns blazin and with a higher ring IQ and not one dimensional. Man I still think he got lucky in the Chambers fight. Hopefully Atlas brings out the best in Povetkin and I'm sure he will.

    I'd probably say Byrd aswell. When people look back at best wins they tend not to take styles into account, but go with the highest ranking opponent and how prime they were.

    Wins against the 3 guys you mentioned will be somewhat equivalent to his wins against Chagaev, Ibragimov and Peter. Haye seems like a big deal now but when Wlad exposes him (yes, exposes) it will count for much less. Its just the way it is.

    How is the Chambers fight third??? And I kinda agree with the rest but I meant, which fighter will be his best win.. not what fight was his greatest performance.

    Chambers is a damn good fighter. He's got good skills and believe he will be a good fighter either at hw or cw. Wlad dominated him the entire fight and put him to sleep with one shot. This to a guy who had never been down let alone hurt. There's no formula here, that's just my opinion.
