    Legite wins:
    - Tony Thompson twice (and he was legite at the time, one loss)
    - David Haye when he was legite, and made Haye look scared for half the fight
    - Chris Byrd (who'd only lost to a roided up Ike Ibeabuchi, and he subsequently beat Tua)

    Wlad's questionable wins that are still good resume builders:
    - Pulev (I don't rate him that highly but many do)
    - Povetkin (blatant holding, but still won none-the-less)
    - Chagaev (very good fighter but realistically too short to challenge someone like Wlad)
    - Hasim Rahman (too old at that stage in his career)
    - Bryant Jennings (looked a bit average in doing so)

    On top of that went toe-to-toe with the new top heavyweight in Joshua, at the age of 41. I think that's a pretty good career.

    Personally I like the fact that he has shown utter professionalism throughout his career, speaks three languages fluently, has never tested positive for PEDs and has a PhD. Maybe that makes me biased.
    byrd was terrible. he got gift decisions against golota and oquendo. hes certainly no great.

    who did tony thompson ever beat? luan krasnisi and timor ibragimov?

    who did haye beat? valuev coming off a loss to 50 year old holyfield.

    im not seeing any fraziers, foremans, listons, nortons, etc....here. not even half of one!
