Who are the 3 most dominant heavyweights since Lennox Lewis. Im trying to find 3 hws to compaire 3 previous ones too. thanks.
Wladimir Klitschko Vitali Klischko As for the third, I had no idea. None of them were consistent enough to be called 'dominant'.
Probably have to go along with Valuev. Pretty ugly for third place and a big big drop off anyway from the top 2.
From your other thread.. Top 3 is hard..usually it's two that clearly dominate or less. How I see the eras breaking down: 86-90 Tyson Holyfield I wouldn't even begin to argue a clear #3 for this timeframe. 90-95 Bowe Holyfield Lewis/Foreman/Moorer 96-99 Holyfield Lewis Ibeabuchi/Grant/Tua 00-06 Lewis Byrd Ruiz 06-present Wlad Vitali Chageav/Povetkin
Nah, Chageav beat Valuev and Ruiz. Than you have Povetkin who in addition to lots of irrelevant fights did manage to beat Chambers, Byrd, and Chageav.
Actually, your right==Povetkin is the better choice. He had far more tough fights on his way up than anyone else. Valuev was nothing if not consistent with his lumbering style and did have that winning streak against those third tier guys. Never hurts being a champ for DKP either. Still more like a Brian Neilsen run more than anything else. Come to think of it, if Wlad sticks around for another couple of years, he might be top 3 for the 2010-2019 decade as well. That would be an incredible run for the 1996 olympic champ.
