    Let's create the list of the weakest title challengers of these HW champions

    Ali - JP Coopman. Never beat top-20 fighter in his life, had glass chin and poor skills

    Holmes - Lucien Rodrigues. Well I know many people would say Evangelista but the fact is that Evangelista KNOCKED OUT Rodrigues 3 times!!! Rodrigues lost every round to Larry Holmes in his poor effort for the WBC title.

    Tyson - Tyrell Biggs. Not a bad opponent, but others were better. Biggs was ruined by Tyson and was never the same, losing all of his meaningful fights.

    Lewis - Phil Jackson. Despite good record (30-1) never beat any top-20 opponent in his career and the only elite fighter he has faced before Lewis (Ruddock) destroyed him easily.

    Vitali Klitschko - Albert Sosnowski. Beat faded Danny Williams and Paolo Vidoz, drew with Pianeta, that's it.

    Wlad Klitschko - Alex Leapai. Guy couldn't land any punch and couldn't defend himself at all against Wlad. Looked awful. Charlez Shufford and Ray Austin would've schooled him. The only comparable challenger was shot Mormeck.

    Wladimir- Mormeck. The french fighter looked like a welterweight NeXT to klitsko..
    However Wlad hung on for dear life every time Mormeck raised his hands....

    And yet people on the forum claim that Frazier - who is as short as Mormeck - would destroy Wlad :rofl
