    Wladimir Klitschko has never beaten anybody of significance

    He hasn't. Take a look;

    David Haye: Had been knocked out as a CW back in '04. Knocked Enzo Macarinelli in 2, but everyone knocks Macca out. Knocked out an old war-torn Mormeck. Got dropped by the ancient Barrett. Was given a gift against Valuev, yes the same Valuev who had gotten schooled by a very ancient Evander Holyfield in his prior fight.

    Samuel Peter: Seriously? Got dropped 3 times the first time out and in the second fight Peter was easily done and it still took him 10 rounds to take him out.

    Eddie Chambers: An small CW. Period.

    Oh and who can forget his all-time classic with Sultan Ibragimov? And for good measure Mormeck is next.

        define significant? Hes beaten the topguys that are willing to fight him.

        Chris Byrd is also a better win than the one you've mentioned.

          Just because he has fought everyone doesn't make them opponents anymore significant or talented. Truth is, he is the best in the division(other than his bro) but you can't give him extra credit for something that isn't there. That's why he will never be considered even a top 15 heavyweight of all time, despite having a record that can rival many all time greats at the weight. Not his fault but you can't just give him freebies just because.

            hes already arguably considered top15 of all time. He could even get to top10 if he keeps winning and someone semi-decent comes along.

              Obviously the term "significant" is used to compare his opponents to the best HW in history

                Well there is some ignorant people then. How exactly is Wlad a greater heavyweight champion than Joe Frazier, Langford, Tunney, Marciano, Tyson, or Charles? These are guys that I would rank between 10-15ish.

                    If frazier and marciano is outside of your top10, who do you have inside it?
