Who was Wladimir Klitschko's best win?

[The Hammer]

When you post the list like that its almost like he never fought anybody decent in his entire career. (Well, Corrie Sanders was alright but we know what happened in that fight.)

That's far from the truth.

Wlad fought MANY decent (good, prime) heavyweights, just no ATGs.

Byrd and Haye are the two clear best.

Both rather small for HW's, but both very good and dangerous in different ways.

How can you say Haye is one of his two best wins? He did nothing in their fight and his resume is nothing.

You're right.

I don't consider Haye to be one of Wladimir's five best wins, although a lot of people do.

He's a five time, two weight world champion...he also has twice as many votes as anyone else in the poll, people seem to rate him.

His overall resume is as good as just about anyone else Wlad has fought also.

No.

For example, Byrd's win over prime Tua is better than anything on Haye's resume.

If Haye fights and defeats a couple of prime contenders, it will make a difference. But he won't.

Not sure I would consider that prime Tua, but it was a good win, yes...Haye also has time on his side to add some more good wins to his resume.

I think Haye is a more dangerous fighter than Byrd in general. Byrd was tighter technically, but Haye's speed and power at both CW and HW more than even that out.

I think the win over Haye, while boring, was a great one for Wlad.

People are voting for Haye? His best win at heavyweight was against valuev and it was a less convincing win than chagaevs and a less convincing performance than Holyfield.

because he had a big aura at the time and most people thought he had a chance to win, he was explosive and had a big punch which is wlad's weakness
the odds gave him more of a chance than sultan or chagaev
some people might think chagaev and sultan resume was more impressive but everyone knew they had nothing in their arsenal that could beat wlad

[IronDanHamza]

Wlad has so many good wins over Top Heavyweight's but I'd say his best win is probably Chris Byrd.

But guys like Haye, Chagaev, Peter, Chambers, Brock, Ibragimov etc are all very good wins against top ranked Heavyweights.
