Ranking the HW's based on cv since the retirement of the great Lewis.

Povetkin so far has beaten a washed up Chagaev, struggled with Boswell and lost to Marco Huck. Also Haye like it or not is the best Heavyweight outside of the Klitschko's

Based on resume and performance

1. Wladimir Klitschko
2. Vitali Klitschko
3. Haye
4. Byrd
5. Ibragimov
6. Chagaev
7. Peter
8. Valuev
9. Adamek
10. Povetkin

 

Since does Lewis deserve the prefix 'the great'? His ass was handed back to him twice.

 

Maskaev has a better resume than Adamek and belongs on that list.

 

Byrd should be very high on that list if you count his whole career. If you only count fights post-2004 (Lewis' retirement), maybe not.

 

I guess Ali isn't great either atschatsch

What are you talking about pal? His ass was never handed back to him in any fight, even the joke Holmes farce when he was struggling just to get in the ring.

 

Haye above Byrd, Povetkin and Chagaev?

 

Chagaev, beating Valuev, Ruiz and Walker, has a better HW resume than Haye :rofl

Ibragimov so high? struggled with an aged Holyfield and lost to Wlad in a fight that put me to sleep after the 9th round

Povetkin has also beaten Byrd and Chambers, I don't know why you rank his resume so low :huh

 

Good list.. I think i may replace Valuev with Champers..

I think Champers, Adamek and Haye are close in resume..

 

1 Wladimir
2 Vitali
3 Byrd
4 Brewster
5 Povetkin
6 Haye
7 Valuev
8 Ibragimov
9 Chagaev
10 Peter
11 Maskaev
12 Liakhovich
13 Sanders
14 Adamek
15 Arreola

 

I think Chambers' wins over peters, Brock and dimitrenko are worth more of a mention

 

Povetkin also beat Chambers
