Wladimir Klitschko top ten wins...

Joe Louis and he's consensus no 1/2 HW of all time.

 

Schmelling and Walcott are hall of famers. Top 20 hws.
K beat no hall of famers and no atgs

 

He asked about Top 15, not Top 20 and I don't think Walcott and Schmelling would be a consensus Top 20.

 

Those guys rank higher than Chris byrd

 

That wasn't the question, lol. Nobody rates Wlad about Joe Louis.

 

Larry Holmes
Joe Louis
Jack Dempsey

 

Technically he has Ali.

 

This is because Louis's best opponents didn't stick around to compile resumes. When a Louis number 1 contender was defeated they either retired shortly after(often in their mid 20s) or went down to the regional level like Mann and Godoy.

But your Braddocks, John Henry Lewis's and Farrs were top 15 talents.

Byrd is incredibly overrated because he beat Vitali and held a cardboard belt the longest. Like on this list he should be in the middle of title opponents Wlad beat. Hes the 4th best American. Byrds like Walcott on Louis's resume. People put him above Louis's legion of better opponents because Walcott got 5 title shots coming off losses and won 1 and joined the club of immortals.

 

Agreed, it also did not help that in his biggest fights he failed to have exciting or compelling results

1) Ibragimov
2) Haye
3)Povetkin

Were all significant fights put on HBO that got significant attention and he really failed to let his hands go and give a great performance. He also had such a poor showing losing the belt to Fury and that was a bad mark though I suppose its better than getting flattened. He did redeem himself in going to war with Joshua

 

There’s a reason Ali doesn’t rank among his best wins.

 

But Brewster 2 does. You know Brewster is blind in one eye right?

 

I can't even make a Top 10.

What a Horrible resume.

 

Retrospectively, maybe. But nobody knew how fed Ali was at that time. And most of it was because of his own actions.
