    V Klit was the #1 heavy for barely a year.

    He has NOT dominated anything.

    Your not that old. But I guess lying was less painfull than needing to fill your list with a Klit.

    I'm 45.

    Ali
    Tyson
    Holmes
    Lewis
    Vitaly

    Ranked off the top of my head in order of general dominance and control of the division, not number of defenses etc. Shout out to Ike, Evander, Bowe, M. Spinks and Wlad as well. Ike had a generic HW title and the general concensus was that he was going to keep steamrolling all his way to and through Lennox, young Tyson style. M. Spinks seemed for a while like a legit guy until Tyson proved otherwise.

    Wlad over Vit :?

    Frazier was never considered the 'real' HW champ until he beat Ali, and he didn't last long after that.

    Tyson was the single most dominant champion of my life time. Period. No one stood in his way and he easily ripped up every legit holder of a claim and left zero doubts about anyone of any note being the better man. No one else held the dominant stranglehold of Mike Tyson during their reigns, Holmes to Wlad.

    Thank you.

    Neither Vitali nor Riddick belong in the conversation.

    Longevity has a lot to do with being considered "dominant".

    ..and no, coming back after a layoff of several years and starting a new title reign doesn't count as longevity (not when your brother has been holding down the fort the whole time, and pretty much keeps beating opposition as good or better than that in your comeback)
