    I don't think Bentt even counts. He was a WBO champ back when the WBO was like what the IBO is today.

    Pretty much every HW champ after Lewis who isn't Wlad sucks ass. Valuev and Briggs most of all.

    John Ruiz but he was consistent in his wins, probably Maskaev or Rahman, Shannon Briggs wasn't exactly a worldbeater either.

    Ruiz, easily. Without King to grease the wheels for him and his illegal tactics, he would have been lucky to win a regional belt!!

    Maskaev.

    Although Briggs does spring to mind aswell.

    Everyone post Lewis other than the Klitchko's. Even they can't captured the publics imagination cause there's no-one worthy.

    Hopefully Haye can shake things up a little. Go on my son :good

    Ruiz was damn good HW Champion. Briggs was also a very good champ, don´t forget that he knocked Lyakhovich out. I think Briggs would have k.o´ed Valuev.

    The weakest Champ was Seldon and maybe Valuev.
