    No lower than #2 at Light Heavyweight?

    Charles and Moore are my #1 and #2.

    But I agree his resume is weak at HW I didn't even feel to respond I just shook my head and carried on scrolling.

      I have Charles at 1 and Tunney 2, but wouldn't argue to diligently about Moore being at 2. I may have spoken a bit to early in my last post.

        I'd say no lower than #3 is a more appropriate.

        I have Charles #1 but I think there's a case for Moore to be #1.

          Vitali? Top 30? I don't know. Not much higher and probably lower.

            12 Heavyweight title defenses (if he beats Charr of course)

            Herbie Hide (WBO HW champ), Vaughn Bean, Kirk Johnson (Top 10 HW), Corrie Sanders (#3 ranked HW), Samuel Peter (WBC HW champ/#2 HW), Juan Carlos Gomez (Top 10 HW), Chris Arreola (Top 10 HW), Kevin Johnson, Shannon Briggs, Odlanier Solis, Tomasz Adamek (#3 ranked HW), and Dereck Chisora.

            Where do you rank him on the Heavyweight list all-time based on career-era-resume???
            This is what I would do. I would compile tapes of all the HW fighters I would consider in the top 150. Then take the time to analyze the fights, and resumes until I came out with a clear cut list of the top 100 HW fighters of all time, then put Vitali right below the last fighter on that list.

              I think his brother is just about a Top 20 ATG HW and he's obviously much greater than Vitali.
              Vitali has hardly lost any rounds in his entire career. I don't think any heavyweight in history would outclass him. In my opinion Lennox Lewis would have beat any heavyweight in history and Vitali was fighting him on even terms at least until it was stopped because of the brutal cut.

              Vitali is super underrated because he is boring but he has an awesome chin, great jab, great body/length, good power, awesome stamina, etc.

                These are all valid points.

                The problem is, his resume is very weak.

                  Bowe UD Donald

                  Vitali wouldn't have had any problems against Golota, or against Bowe himself.

                  I'd have to agree with this.

                    When all is said and done Wlad should be top 15 all time imo if not top 10, seriously hurts him not being able to fight the 2nd best heavyweight obviously but he's beaten / is going too beat pretty much everyone else, he definitely has the longevity and skill just depends on how much merit you take off him for the embaraassing losses I guess.

                    Vitali, meh, doesn't rank high at all, obvious talent but poor poor resume.

                      I think by the time he retires he will probably be a lock Top 15 ATG HW.

                      Can't see him being Top 10 though unless a lot of good HW's come along out of no where.
