    If you fed Sam Peter Maurice Harris and Peter McNeely he would have had 2 successful title defenses too.

    Sam Peter just ran into Vitali...not his fault, although him being virtually obese didn't help his cause. At one point in time Sam Peter maybe was the #2-3 heavyweight in the world at one point in time and deservedly so....can we say that (without laughing) about Henry Akinwande?

    I'd say that giant evolutionary chart come to life Valuev worse than Sanders.Namely because he gave Ruiz a couple of chances to be hvy champion and the fact he was horrific.He lost to Holyfield and fought like he was in awe of him.Sanders had great hand speed and power to hurt many hvys and I think his cell block ownage of Wlad takes it.Quality over quantity.

    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.

    Agreed that since he beat Wlad, it has to be better than anything valuev has ever done, he shook Vitali as well.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.

    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.
