My vote goes to Valuev.

Agreed that since he beat Wlad, it has to be better than anything valuev has ever done, he shook Vitali as well.

Why are we counting WBO titlists as heavyweight champions ?

I'm sorry but I've never really considered them heavyweight champs.

Even Mercer and Morrison and I liked those two a lot.

I'd say that recently the WBO title holders have been far better than the WBA title holders...not because of current title holders, just looking at who's been more impressive and who's fought better opposition.

For the first one, Akinwande easy! Tough one for the second but I'm thinking Sanders. Just!

....is there no room for 'Big' John Tate?

If you are talking all time worst then Primo Carnera was your man He lost the title to Max Baer hitting the canvas 11 times. He was as tall or 1inch shorter than another bad champion, Valuev. That fight couldn't happen because Prom died. He won the title with his feet. He kept the on top Of Jack Sharkey"s toes. It was so clumsy of him that he wsn't penalized.

he would of prob beaten some of the other title holders over the years thats how many bad ones we have had

I goota go with linear champ Leon Spinks. What was his record, 26-17?

Trevor Berbick has to be up there!

Gerry Coetzee gets my vote.

A fat, shot, old Iran Barkley once beat his ass.

ok looks like valuev is the worst of them two!

so onto the next round;D
