Fine, let's forget that Haye was clearly better than Valuev.
You still have the obvious 2 of Wlad and Vitali. You still have Povetkin, you still have Chambers, you still have Chagaev who already beat him and Evan Fields who already beat him.
That's still 6 to have above Valuev, and that's not even considering other better fighters. Valuev never did anything because he wasn't any good. His biggest accomplishment is beating Ruiz twice in the middle of a stretch where Ruiz won 3 of 8 fights. And he couldn't even do that convincingly.
