Zoran Vujecic
As well as 12 people who had only one previous loss (Haye, Byrd, Chambers, etc)
He has 10 wins over world champions:
Byrd x 2, Peter X 2, Rahman, Chagaev, Haye, Ibragimov, Mormeck, Mercer
He is the 5th longest reigning Heavyweight Champion of all time with the 3rd most consecutive title defenses at 13. He holds the IBF, WBO and IBO records for the most heavyweight title defenses.
And Wladimir won Olympic Gold in Atlanta in 2006.
