Who was the best non K hw of the K era?

And by that, I mean fighters most associated with the era after Lewis retired and before Fury beat Wlad. I'm sure Haye's devoted fans will disagree, and I included other potential candidates for the poll, but I think it's fairly clearly between Sanders, Peter and Povetkin. Sanders had the single best win in his utter destruction of Wlad, and did better against Vitali than anyone apart from Lewis. Peter top 5 wins were better than anyone else's top five wins except maybe Povetkin, and unlike Povetkin, he nearly beat Wlad. Povetkin probably had the deepest overall resume if you just look at number of topish wins and nothing else.

 

Povetkin getting too much support imo, but fair enough. How about best aside from Sasha?

 

Please, Sanders accomplished more in his career by destroying Wlad and rocking Vitali than Povetkin did by beating second tier guys. And Haye? Please. His best wins were a debatable one against old Valuev and against Chisora. Peter had much better wins and did better against Wlad.

 

H2h I probably agree. Just curious, who do you hate less, Wlad or Vitali?

 

Then, which fighter do you favor? It was a sincere question.

 

That's why I said "associated" with the era. His legacy is with the k's
