If Wlad can do this in the rest of his carreer I say he is top 15 of all time.
Beat (in this orderish):
Tony Thompson
Alexander Povetkin
Ruslan Chagaev or Nikolai Valuev (1)
Samuel Peter
David Haye
John Ruiz or Andrew Golota or Hasim Rahman (2)
Alexander Demitrienko
1= Rematch winner
2= HoFer (yes old though)
In short, the competition isn't around to make Wladimir an all time great. The skill is, for sure, he has tremendous skill, not the opponents though. If he beats those guys he has cleaned out though.
