Ok here we go.

Judging from Ring Rankings and various Belt rankings.

After Lewis's retirement.

From 2004-2008
First half of Wlad's 'era'.

The best heavyweights are : In no particular order:
Vitali Klitscko( For a very short time prior to retirement)
James Toney (lol what a division)
Sergei Lyakhovich
Sugar Nickali Valvuev
Shannon Briggs
Oleg Maskaev
Sam Peter
Alexander Povetkin
Lamont Brewster
John Ruiz

out of all these from 2004-2008
Wlad fought who?
Peter-Brewster
He lost to Brewster.

From

2008 to Present
the best heavyweights from Ring Rankings and various Title rankings
are
in no particular order:

Alexander Povetkin
David Haye
Vitali Klithsco
Thomaz Adamek
Eddie Chambers
Alexander Dimitrenko
Chris Arreloa
Denis Boystov
Robert Helenius
Ruslan Chagav
Sultan Ibr

Recent:
Pulev
Price
Fury

Wlad did pick up the pace from 2008-2012.
Since he fought 4 legit top heavyweights in
Chambers;Haye:Sultan:Ruslan
but overall he still missed out on a large number.

From 2008-2012. Wladimir never fought the true #2 and missed out on a lot of top heavyweights.

Wladimir's BEST WIN by far was still in 2000 against Prime Chris Byrd.

Chris Byrd was never the true #2 in 2005-2007ish.
That is just Klittard lies.

Byrd went on to lose 3 of his 4 fights after 2006.. how the hell was he consider a top heavyweight?

Byrd was considered a 'good' heavyweight in 2000. That was it.
His two career defining moments are

1- Making Vitali Quit and
2- Getting brutally knocked out by Ike.

Lennox Lewis is holding the lineal belt hostage and Klittards be mad.

DEAL WITH IT

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LINEAL CHAMP.

The linage ended with tko6 and will never be re aligned.

History already said on boxing espn

'Lewis was the LAST Lineal champ'

Fact: Lewis was the LAST lineal champ
Opinion: Wlad recreated the linage

Freedom.

Peter was Ring #8 Wlad was #9 in 2005 when they fought.

Byrd was Ring #1 when Wlad beat him in 2006, and in the top ten when Wlad beat him in 2000.

Thompson (2008), McCline, Chambers, Haye, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Brewster, and Brock were in the Ring top 10 when Wlad defeated them.

Rahman, Jefferson, Barrett, Mormeck (cruiserweight) and Mercer had been in the Ring top 10 at one time.
