Pineata was probably the worst, just because he didnt earn it, though he is probably a better fighter than Leipai
McCormick is still the worst for the Wlad reign
Chisora has been on a losing streak until 2013 ! He is as much as a bum as Leapai,Wach and Pianeta.buzzed by the likes of Pala and Gerber,YES Edmund GERBER ! The same Gerber that lost to Michael Sprott !
Keep reaching

Foster
Archie Moore (past Moore's prime)
Larry Holmes (past his prime)
Majority of them universally recognized world champions, now don't even try and compare Eddie Chambers, Haye, and Povetkin to that list.
Originally posted by Weltschmerz View PostWell to be brutally honest, Haye would probably knock out most of those guys with his speed, athleticism and power.
Haye knocking out not only Frazier and Moore, but Liston and Foreman?

Wach was the third option after Arreola dropped out,then subsequently Fury.
Leapai was a mandated fight !
Pianeta a tune up,also a good sell in Germany.he was well respected and well thought of after defeating McCall and Botha,faded guys,but household names to German fight fans.I don't remember anybody else shouting for that fight bar David Haye,and we all know he cries about toe,instead of coming to fight.
Wlad intended to fight three times last year,Ryabinsky would not budge the Povetkin fight from October to September though.I have no problem with him fighting a couple of mandatory challengers and the odd softer opponent to bulk up the numbers on his résumé,in pursuit of Joe Louis's record haul of defences.I suggest if this bothers and concerns you,find another to sport to solace in.Wladimir isn't going anywhere,he is here to stay.
