    Larry Holmes as I told you previouisly is the only A level guy from a skill point of view, and he whooped the ageing Ali. Patterson was skilled but a goddamn midget by hw standards.
    Haye wouldnt knock any of those guys out.... Maybe way past it patterson or moore, but no way haye is gonna ko foreman, frazier, norton, etc

      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
      Arreola and Fury were offered Nov 2012 before Wach,instead Wlad elected to stay busy even though both rebuffed.Pulev didn't face Thompson in final eliminator until Aug last year,WBA and WBO mandatories were due before his next IBF mandatory !

      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

        Im not reaching for anything,, If you think leipai, Wach, and pineata, are legit contenders than more power to you...
        Its reaching to think those guys were the best available..

          Majority of them universally recognized world champions, now don't even try and compare Eddie Chambers, Haye, and Povetkin to that list.

          Haye knocking out not only Frazier and Moore, but Liston and Foreman?

            Comparing Foreman and Liston to Leapai. Just leave, now.

              Where have I stated they are legit contenders ? Who else was available Chico ?

              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.
