    Since 2006, after beating Chris Byrd, Wlad has fought the following: Brock, Austin, Brewster, Ibragimov, Thompson, Rahman, Chagaev.

    Eddie Chambers is a Top5 contender and he has beat Sam Peter and Alexander Dimitrenko. Wlad's previous opponents hadn't won their chance that way.

    Is Chambers the best opponent in Wlad's reign?

    That is false.

    Chagaev has fought threw Ruiz, Valuev and Virchis and than fight Wladimir.

    Ruiz, Valuev, Virchis > Dimitrenko

    Valuev maybe Ruiz > Peter

    Chagaev imo is Wlads best win scince probably Byrd.

    Chagaev, 2006 Byrd, Ibragimov > Chambers, imo

    But styles make fights, I dont think Chambers gonna pull a Johnson so we'll see.

    Deff a more interseting hw matchup than normal.

    I think Chagaev is Wlad's best win, to date, period. None else had the win column as Chagaev did. Ruslan Chagaev was Wlad's most noteworthy opponent, yet.


    With Byrd and Ibragimov probably next.

    Possibly Chambers might be next, above Peter, in my opinion.

    But, I think Chagaev is still probably the fourth best heavyweight in the world.

    Let us not forget that Chagaev has only been beaten by the absolute best, in Wlad. Chambers has been beaten by Povetkin.

    Chambers might be the most skilled, still Thompson with his long arms might be the most uncomfortable for Wlad.
